Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

The state of the game is unacceptable

The bugs are basically compounding on themselves. There are bugs that are months old and some have broken some characters. And the current patch has made the game borderline unplayable and things don't improve. It just gets worse and worse with each patch.

What's the point of a PTR if your not gonna fix bugs? If you need to take more time to fix issues then take it. But this is insane.

I never played a game in my life where the QA is just almost completely neglected and I don't mean this as disrespectful but criticism. It feels like you guys could not careless because as long as you get the content out to sell it doesn't make a difference how buggy the game is. At least that's how it feels to me.

And with people continuing to give you money with good faith you will address these issues in a timely manner and simply leaving issues that have been going for months like Dracula is not ok. I can't think of any other modern developers that allow their game to be in state like this constantly.

Do better and be better.

    Honestly, instead of adding a bunch of "QoL" systems that nobody really asked for, they should have taken this year to address bugs and their spaghetti code. This is the exact wrong time to add a new survivor item that introduces a mountain of bugs.

    Tbf people did actually ask for more cosmetic/loadout slots. It was heavily requested. A lot of people wanted better spectating features since it helps with running tournaments, scrims and what not.

    Not something that interests me personally but hey people asked for it and got it.

    The likely culprit for all the bugs is probably the engine update. I'm no dev tho so I could be completely off but it was the biggest thing that changed between the (mostly) smooth Fnaf update and now.

    While I do agree with you 100%, the thing is, people HAVE been asking for this stuff for years. I mean literally years.

    I'm sorry, but did you forget that Springtrap launched with an invisibility bug? Every release comes with a bunch of new bugs, and very few old ones getting fixed. They've "equalized" survivor audio a dozen times now, yet Ada is still silent while you can hear Bill from across the map. There's also a bug that they've "fixed" half a dozen times now where the directional audio for killer players just kind of… doesn't work. A survivor can sound like they're right next to your left side, but they're actually ten feet ahead of you on the right. They say they fix things, but half of the time those fixes just… don't work.

    And it's not just recently, either. Xenomorph launched with a bug that let her just spam tail attacks over and over with zero cooldown. Every new release since around Knight has just been filled with bugs, and they don't take the time to fix them before putting out yet another chapter that adds in a bunch more bugs.

    When I say "mostly smooth" I meant mostly smooth for DBD. Which is to say, not that smooth but not quite broken.

    Like in the FNAF patch, aside from that one audio bug and the invisibility thing - there wasn't anything gamebreaking like the current chase not starting bug or the old survivor de-sync bugs of patches gone by.

    Don't get it twisted, I agree with you that the game adds way more bugs than it fixes and that NEEDS to change. But I don't know how they'll actually accomplish that.

    People have been begging for literal YEARS for BHVR to take a break from releasing new chapters to fix-up the game's foundation, but BHVR seems insistent on not doing it for whatever reason.

    So now every update we get to deal with stuff life this 💀

    We got to stop spending money and playing it.

    Personally I am done with the game till they decide they respect their players beyond being cash cows to farm because they know if they put in "Thing I like!" They will just print money and all is forgiven.
