PS4 Killers
I'm making this post because I'm suffering so badly and just want to reach out. I've never really looked at forums let alone make an account.
I'm losing my mind playing killer. Frame rates on console is beyond frustrating. I deal with survivors using the same meta builds, perks constantly giving them 2nd chances after second chances as I desperately try to just nail a hit. Downing someone isnt even a feeling of accomplishment. The swf, the perks, the items. All of it. All while frame rate is working in their favor in the background. I've recieved so many messages telling me that I'm trash, or a camper, or should uninstall when i dont even think they were even good. Frame rate on this game has made me consider rage quitting, throwing my controller, and uninstalling. Ruin use to help me get something worth while but now every gen is done in under 5 minutes. I have survivors that just mess with me at that point. I'm rank 6, I go against red ranks all the time. My connection is fine, nat is fine, I have amazing internet. I just wanna know I'm not ththe only one suffering and putting up with this game..

I had to turn everything to private after year 1. I spent more time reporting people than playing the game.
Framerate. Sound. Controller sensitivity. SWF everywhere. 6 year old Fortnite refugees who cannot take a loss or a win without making a salty comment.
Developers who lie and have proven time and time again that they do not understand their game.
Playing killer on console is a nightmare.
Currently, I'm playing through Sekiro and avoiding DbD like the plague. It's nice to play something less frustrating.

My fav killers are gf and clown. I hardly played clown tho and hes even worse post ruin nerf. Mobile killers are the only ones not suffering as hard from the ruin nerf at the moment and it breaks my heart. Ive been a fan of this game since it came out i play most of the killers but the only ones who dont need ruin to have a fighting chance arent very fun to me.

Honestly, just stick to high mobility killers. Not sure what to do if you're playing base movement speed killers, but they're going to be broken until gen speeds are fixed.

My main killer is Trapper. For some reason, survivors have been avoiding triggering some of my traps and I don't understand why. It's usually the traps I place where they have vault and trigger it. Anyone else experience something like that? They're very inconsistent.

Oni, plague, doc, leatherface, ghostface, spirit. All of them had frame issues

Yeah, killer was already horrible before the ruin change because of matchmaking. Now with ruin nerfed it’s unbearable. I’m only playing killer for the challenges, other than that nope. It’s far too stressful. I can’t even play casually without sweaty survivors t bagging and doing whatever they can do to be toxic. I’m just sticking to survivor where I have to deal with killers are camp and tunnel, but you can’t even blame them. Also sad that it seems farming is extinct. Killers and survivors have way to much tension to even act friendly towards each other.

Rebuild the database.
- Turn your PS4 off completely
- Hold down the power button until it beeps a second time, let go.
- Plug a controller in with a USB cable, navigate to the option 'rebuild database'.
It takes anywhere from 10 minutes to a few hours, but is like de-fragmenting the harddrive.
Next, if you've never cleared your learning dictionary, you should. If you can live without it, you can just turn off predictive text, which is what builds the learning dictionary.
To clear the learning dictionary:
- Go to settings, click on 'Initialize' select clear learning dictionary.
To turn off predictive text:
- Go to settings > languages > input methods > uncheck Predictive text
Clearing the learning dictionary is just as effective as turning it off if you clear it regularly.

This is a really interesting suggestion. I’m going to try these out tomorrow.

The only killer that's giving me framerate issues while I play as them is Doc. It gives me big sad 😔.
I loved him before, and I love him now. However I can't play him because the slideshow I play at about the halfway point of the match gives me a headache.

I'm also playing on PS4. It's a Pro, and yet the performance is terrible. It really gets worse with every update.
I stopped playing killer a couple of weeks ago. Maybe I'll give it another shot, maybe not.
It's totally understandable that the killer experience is highly frustrating for you. At this point, you should indeed consider taking a break. Video games should be fun, not make you feel bad.

Play survivor and farm to max out bloodpoints. Until Killer is worth playing (more fun than stressful) I’m sticking to survivor.

This game..... Is gonna die. I probably should have stayed gone when everyone else who played around my begining time left. It's not even the toxicity, it's my inability to punish that toxicity with any regularity now that makes this game feel .. unrewarding.
Also, the devs could care less about us console players anyway. It's obvious in the fact they refuse to remove the stupid stick wiggle motion from the survivor side of the game. I either have to never play survivor, or by a new controller every 3 months for this damn game because after a while, the joystick degrades and it ######### up your ability to run forward in a straight line. You start jittering back and fourth like a meth addled chipmunk

I feel you. I had the same experience with low mobility killers, I feel like it's impossible to win with them. Of course survivors aren't helpful with their behavior. Also my understanding that there was some change around Oni's flick, however It's pretty much the same. To be honest at this point I wouldn't mind a rank reset for killers only, because it seems my current skill level is around level 15 without ruin when I play low mobility killers. That means I have to depip 50 times to get to that rank...

If it helps, you can also set your message settings to private, so only friends can message you. That way you don't have to deal with the stupid post game comments.

Both sides suffer from really bad framerate on console dbd

I totally agree as a killer main, one moment the frame-rate will be fine, the next match i'm moving at half my normal speed, my killers are twitching and spazzing out, and i'm unintentionally letting everyone escape because i can't even use my ability properly, and i only get one sympathy hook since i can't catch anyone. The game is slowly going to crap, with more and more problems being added onto others over time, it feels like nothing is getting done development wise, and no MAJOR problems are being solved. Starting to hope the game just dies soon, unless they add some sort of unique or offline modes to relax and not be sweaty all the time, or just unranked matches to prolong the life of the game.

Yeah PS4 servers are pretty trash.

I feel u, there is one way to still do good, basement bubba. Trust me 70% of the time it works and good luck playing anyone else and have good matches

Yeah it's bad times, i can slaughter everyone with mobility killers, but that's boring, so I like playing killers like trapper, sometimes you do well and sometimes you get stomped by pricks that do the straight up in the air flashlight flip off exit even though you played fair. Makes me want to start a list of people to facecamp but that's too much work

You know theres a set speed on wiggling right? You dont need to destroy your joystick. As long as you're moving the joystick you're wiggling. Doesnt matter about speed

I know that, but it doesn't need to exist in that way in the first place. What it my lil cousin is playing? I can't do anything about her or others wiggling it like that if the game tells them to wiggle.
Also, what does that have to do with it being a stupid mechanic? It's exclusive to console in the first place, why not just make it a button or two button rapid action?
