Are you going to fix the FPS of Dead by Daylight for the Nintendo Switch. I keep losing keep getting disadvantaged because the FPS of the game is not Stable and it drops too low putting every Survivor or Killer at a disadvantage. If you can please fix it and make the FPS of Dead by Daylight Nintendo Switch Version more Stable




Yours Truly.

    I bought the switch version day one along with all dlcs up to stranger things. I ended up giving up on this version due to the framerate issues and lag. I died on the hook earlier than I should have because a lag spike would hit when I was mashing the button causing it not to register. Not to mention some maps can be far too dark making it easy for blendettes to abuse this.

    Optimization on the Nintendo Switch should have become a high priority the very second it released but sadly it never seemed to have got better with the fps issues.

    Ok rude, and i didn't buy the dlc up to stranger things only bought Saw. And i am talking about the FPS and i have a issue and my frends or othdr people around the world (maybe). And they dont need to really fix it i was just asking a question. I stopped dying becausd i put tv quality 720p and it made the fps less rough and one final thing

    Why am I rude? I was giving my experience of owning it on the Switch and the issues I faced with it. I was saying I bought all the dlc up to that point, not you :p Nothing in my post was reflected towards you, or your opinions, in any negative way.

    'If you can please fix it and make the FPS of Dead by Daylight Nintendo Switch Version more Stable'

    That is what you wrote and that is not a question, it is a request.

    Edit* oh, because you're a Claudette. I get it now lol.

    It's a lot worse on Switch than it is on other platforms though. At least you can successfully struggle to the end on ps4, xbox and pc. The Switch version stutters and lags more often, is darker than ps4 and sometimes a lag spike can kill you during the struggle phase.

    The Switch version is the worst optimised of them all. Just to note I have not played mobile so I cannot speak for that.

    Its not much better on ps4, and my point still stands. We've been dealing w this for over 3 years. Switch got some catching up to do. Hopefully they optimize all consoles at once, but if switch gets it before us, then DBD just lost a fan on ps4...

    PS4 is the smoothest of all 4 platforms I own the game on. The skill checks are smooth, they lag a little on other platforms for me. The chases as survivor doesn't lag and it's brighter than the other platforms. As killer the only issues I have ate occasional pauses when entering bloodlust, not every game for some reason, the sound issues that are plaguing every platform and the survivors teleporting a few feet once downed.

    I am not saying others cannot experience issues just because I don't have many just to be clear.

    Ive played and own on ps4, played xbox, and PC. All I know, is console is a joke when playing killer, compared to PC. The fr constantly drops. Nurse, huntress, and Billy are a nightmare trying to play as, (funny, I'm decent w oni though), 360s work like DH, can't see blood trails, and everything is much darker and pixelated...

    it's because of the hardware the switch has it can't really handle the game so some sacrifices have to be made somewhere either in graphics or framerate sometimes both
