Has anyone noticed this in 2v8

Ive Noticed that everyone in the match has different spawn Times. If ur wondering why some survivors just standing there thats because there rather still loading, or there just loaded in. if the Killer or Killers find you when you just spawned in ur not Alone its because they loaded in the game before you did.

I find this a problem and I mean a serious problem.

If 5 survivors load in before you did. as Killer it means 5 Survivors or more are on a Gen before you even started doing anything. As survivor you can be downed by a killer before you fully load in. It gives one side of the game a unfair Advantage.

If you dont believe me then why do you see other survivors or ur other Killer moving before you can.

This needs to be fixed badly

    I don't believe that is the case. When the loading screen is going, its waiting for every last person to finnish loading the round, if even one has trouble connecting or shuts the game off, it disconnects everyone and cancels the round. Many reasons for people standing there when they start include : they are distracted by their phone, they have the game lowered and are looking at something on the internet and havent noticed the round started, they got called away from the pc/tv to do something at the last minute, they are in the washroom and didnt think the round would start that quickly etc. Ive never just loaded into a round with my character alredy getting hooked, not even against hackers even they have to wait for everyone to load in first.

    Exactly, in DBD the match starts if the player with the slowest connection/hardware loaded in. Which is also why having a very powerful PC with DBD on an SSD might not even matter, since someone else might have a slower connection, so you will not be faster in the matches.

    It can however happen that some players can move earlier than others. This is indeed a thing, but the difference is a second at max. Because sometimes you see indeed that another Survivor is already moving or you hear Billys Chainsaw while you are still in the spinning animation at the start of the game. But this is so meaningless that it does not need fixing, OP is straight up exaggerating in what they are explaining.

    If you're talking about personal experience, when it comes to the time it takes for the character to start moving at the start of a match, the PS4 and Switch felt a little slow.

    There can be variations of spawning in but that depends on the computer/connection in question. If you have lower end computer loading in the match can take little bit longer than others and if your connection goes bad during loading can also make you load in little bit later.

    There can definitely be discrepancies when it comes to players/things loading in at different times at the beginning of a match. It happens rarely for me, but it's always memorable. Several times, I'll load into a match, be running around looking for a gen for 10-15 seconds, then all of a sudden, every survivor gets affected by Wesker or Krasue's infection from their add-ons, or I hear the DING of Pinhead's box spawning.
