how can a game like dead by daylight work worst on cosonle than elden ring?
Elden Ring is 10000 times bigger and more complex and complete than dbd is, so how the hell does this game work better on console or have similar frame rates, i've watched a video about how dbd works on switch, how can such a small game, in a small map with 5 players, run this poorly???? how can horizon dawn a ps4 game be this absolutely gorgeous and open, work better than dbd???????
What makes dbd so hard for the consoles to deal with???

Because it is a badly optimized PC-Game which got ported to every Console in existence instead of fixing the issues it already had.
Seriously, IMO it was just arrogance to release the game on Switch when back then it already ran pretty bad on PS4/XBox One.
Elden Ring on the other hand is better optimized (it also has Framedrops, even on PC) and was also developed for Console from Scratch.

Behavior couldn't optimize Wolfenstein 3d to run at 30 fps on Switch.

Eh. Optimization of DbD is obviously pretty bad but it doesn’t make much sense to compare it to single player games built from scratch for consoles with a bigger budget..

I was thinking the same since I am currently playing it. This game is massive and there are no loading screens when traversing the map.
I didn't experience stuttering once and I am nearly over 50 hours in. Also playing co op with friends, no issues whatsoever.
Also I play on last gen.
This is why I don't understand people who say dbd is worse on console because outdated yada yada. Dbd looks like ps2 game.

Horizon I can give an answer for: it was developed as a PS4 exclusive, with direct funding from Sony, for the explicit purpose of running on the PS4 and nothing but the PS4. It's similar in part to Until Dawn and then the follow-up Man of Medan and Little Hope, both of which had some pretty terrible performance issues on PC, because the studio simply weren't used to it while they were very used to PS4.
As for why DBD runs so poorly, it's mostly due to large CPU useage, as GPU usage is down enough to run at a stable 60fps (as per BHVR).
Why CPU optimisations have taken literally over 3 years at this point, I'm not quite sure, but I assume it has something to do with an extremely messy base of code onto which more and more was piled so trying to fix and optimise it would probably brick half the game and cause the Xbox Series X to implode knowing what bugs we've had before. Either way, really wish it would be optimised faster.

The devs just don't know how fix console performance unfortunately. It's not supposed to be hard.

And the community can’t understand where the actual issues lie when trying to fix this

The game doesn't run well on console, it runs well on Playstation. Big difference.

Ps4 players are looking at this comment in confusion.

A lot of the reasons do come down to DBD just not being super well optimised even for PC, but there are some criteria just off the top of my head that'd give Elden Ring a pretty huge advantage over DBD- namely, that it was built for current gen consoles instead of being forward-ported to them, and that it's not only the latest in a franchise of like, seven or eight games (something that gives it an advantage because the developers are used to optimising the engine, where DBD was the first of its kind from BHVR), it's a franchise that is built for console that gets ported to PC. Elden Ring may be an exception here, but it still gives that dev team much more familiarity with making games run well on console- it was their major release point for the majority of the series, at least to my knowledge.
It's also, like, more of a single game? Elden Ring was developed and released, whereas DBD was developed, released, and then consistently built on top of, something that has more potential for new issues manifesting.
Also, while BHVR are not bad developers in the slightest, I don't think it's controversial to say From Software are pretty far out of their league. Most studios aren't as skilled as FromSoft.
I'm not making excuses for poor optimisation here (though nor am I heavily condemning them; I don't know enough about the process to judge too conclusively either way), but Elden Ring isn't a great comparison.
