Fix the game freezing when there is an action like m1/killer bloodlust etc
how about instead of making over priced skins... fix the f'n game ?
i'm so tired of missing things because my game momentarily pauses when something happens...
|I've stopped using dead hard as survivor as it's too unpredictable, sometimes it will freeze just before i get to do it and i'm down .....
The killer gets blood lust - the game freezes for a second
i get m1'd by the killer my game pauses for a second and i come back just for him ready to hit me again
I just tried to stop someone unhooking a survivor and my game froze as he did it so he got out ...
it seems to be happening more with the new killer, it's got nothing to do with my system as i've seen it happen on a few and i run far superior games.
its infuriating that if you check back this has been going on for years with 0 input other than "check your internet"

+2 - I thought this was only me.. it happens all the time.

Yeah its happened to me since 2018 on 2 different PCs. No idea what it is, but yeah that little hitch causes you to miss attacks

I was just talking to my friend about this the other day. Affects survivor side as well. The momentary freeze of a killer getting bloodlust has killed me mid-struggle even though I didn't miss the button. Definitely needs to be looked at!

I just hope that this games gets proper Optimization someday

Happens occasionally the moment I activate an exhaustion perk

I've had this happen recently too and it can be quite the pain in the ass.

All of this is even worse on Xbox. Come join us for the fun...

It's infuriating that it has been an issue for literally YEARS but the only response i've seen from the devs is to check your internet....
i don't care how bad your internet is it shouldn't be causing these issues.
i'm also so sick of chasing a survivor and the game freezing for a second when something happens and i end up losing the chase because of it.
It's game breaking at times and it's starting to make me want to just delete the game the fact that it's just being ignored to pump out more skins.

I never had this issue before.. then once the Chains of Hate DLC got released it started happening all the time.

not only do i hate the new map because of how one sided it is but I hate going up against the new killer because of the freezes which seem to be happening more with him ... so it's blatantly not an "internet issue" if more people are having the same problems with new content. They just keep releasing it without addressing old issues.

Never got any freezing in this game. I've like a second of lag when playing as a survivor i take off the "Haunted ground" Hex totem but nothing more... Can you kindly tell us how to reproduce this please?
I tried in a custom match just now:
- Bloodlust
- Dead hard
- Also, i was using Myers and tried using the M1 with Power in lv. 1, 2 and 3.
Is something im missing?

its basically what you are getting with haunted ground but with loads of other actions too, if the killer gets bloodlust the game just momentarily freezes as it "catches up"
sometimes when you get hit by the killer it pauses for a second doing the same thing and by the time you get control back the killer m1's you again ...
a gen is just about to pop, no one escapes death pops for the first time etc
it's when ever something above the 'normal' game play happens.
1 -
Yeah, a friend has this problem as well. The amount of times he's missed an M1 due to getting bloodlust in that exact moment and the game freezes up for just a second.

I have this too and it seems to me that it could be lag related; it seems the freeze happens because of the server taking over while it verifies if a hit connected or not.
It's an annoying issue but hopefully with the 60 tick changes coming it will fix it.
1 -
Oh yeah, the NOED hit with the survivors freezes aswell as the Haunted grounds, you're totally right, my bad!

I bet this game is a spaghetti code mess
0 -
Yes please fix this BS.

well looks like I'm the only one who doesnt have lags in this game lol

Feels like it has gotten worse over the past few months.

Personally I get no freezes playing on PC using with an i7 and gtx1070 with 16gb of ram.
Some more info could be helpful.
Platform you play on - steam, ms store, ps4, ps4 pro, xbox one, switch.
If on pc what are your specs and what graphics options do you run?
Does it happen every time or is it random?
Does it happen more on certain maps or versing certain killers?
0 -
I noticed this always happens when something occurs for the first time.
- the first time the killer gains Bloodlust
- the first time the killer attacks anyone
- the first time Sloppy Butcher is applied (as killer and survivor)
- the first time getting shocked by Doctor
- pretty much every status effect / add-on
And it resets every match. So you go through the entire list every game, freezing every time.
2 -
That's because the spaghetti code gets worse with each update, so the game becomes more demanding with each update.
The better the pc, the better it can compensate the bad programming of DbD. So some pc players have been dealing with this for ages, while others only for a short amount of time.
And since consoles can't compete with the processing power of a pc, it's even worse there.

Take a look at my post above. I explained it in short.
0 -
That's correct. At least on console, you can also add "when somebody opens a chest" to the list.
1 -
i guess all we can do is keep posting about it ... if it gets enough traction then maybe they will be forced to acknowledge it.
NOED activated on a survivor stood next to me, game froze and just came back for the killer to hit me!
awful coding
0 -
But it happens for like a microsecond. Nothing too gamebreaking but I get why some people find it annoying.
0 -
Believe me that this is still more than enough to make you miss an important hit as killer or to get hit as survivor.
0 -
the whole game is about timing ..... it doesn't matter how long it is its enough for a killer to miss a hit, for a survivor to get downed etc etc
that is game breaking .... a microsecond can make the difference between getting a down or not or escaping or not
1 -
Dude I've been complaining about this for so long they just don't care.
1 -
too many people have this issue and just don't say anything, the quicker we get a huge thread going the sooner they have to acknowledge it
0 -
I made a post about this a few weeks ago but i thought it was only a console thing... Hmm
0 -
@ItsJoshFFS I was just about to say the same thing. The increase in server ticks and feedback should fix this issue.
0 -
bump. fix your game :)
just happened with a clown bottle so I couldn't throw a pallet down ....
0 -
I'd rather say that that's an optimization problem.
0 -
@OniWantsYourMacaroni It's a bit of both but mainly server feedback trying to play catch up on the killer's side. When you down some survivors, they port backwards a step or two on the ground because of server feedback being different from the killer. Its what causes the jerking and Huntress hitting you around a corner. Optimization makes it just a bit worse.
0 -
This thread gets a +1 from me.
In general the game has real bad optimisation. This can be circumvented on PC with the right amount of money, but console players are stuck with what they have. For the small maps, and outdated graphics, the game takes up way too many computer resources. I am afraid what will happen when the graphic update happens.
0 -
I'm pretty sure i had those problems even before dedicated servers
0 -
@OniWantsYourMacaroni Ping played a big part. Grabs are not broken. Its the servers. When they roll out the extra feedback, we'll see a difference.

Is this a potential reason when I'm bearing down on a survivor I hit m1 and nothing happens resulting in an extension of chase, because it happens a lot. Especially when a perfectly timed lunge would have downed them at the vault/window but nope its not that I miss its that I never lunged in the first place.

Always thought it was just me, I'm upgrading my computer soon and switching out my gpu and cpu, and thought that might fix it, never knew it was a bug.
0 -
It might be a video memory problem. I started noticing this after cosmetics were put in. I especially get a hiccup when there's excessive fog in play. This is on my work laptop where it's getting kind of dated; my home desktop is fine except for the occasional memory leak or whatever that makes me restart after a few hours.
0 -
I can't say that i'm surprised it's still an issue even after all the graphical updates. Silly me thinking it would have been fixed!

If your game is stuttering, try both of the following:
1) increase your virtual memory (paging file), even if you got decent RAM
2) restart the game every few matches. Dbd corrupts your memory for whatever reason, and you need to reboot the game once in a while to neglect this effect.
0 -
it can happen randomly from first load up, i've tried increasing virtual memory but again it just randomly happens. I don't know what's worse, the fact that it's still happening after years of people complaining about it or the fact the only time they've responded about it is to say it's people's connections and not an issue on their side.
0 -
Sad to hear it didn't work for you.
Dbd's optimization is at the very least questionable, indeed.

I am so [BAD WORD]ing tired of the frames going to [BAD WORD] every [BAD WORD]ing time Bloodlust tiers up. For [BAD WORD]'s sake it's beyond time this [BAD WORD] got fixed.
As survivor, too, I can always tell when someone's doing something somewhere else on the map because of the way the frames drop. It's ridiculous how poorly this game plays.
2 -
I thought it was something on this side, looks like everyone's having this issue. I'm a survivor main tho, and I have the same problem with the game randomly freezing. I miss skill checks, I get stuck when trying to vault or just freeze while looping, and I end up getting hit.
0 -
this is beyond a joke now it's actually getting worse
i've just had a myres tier 3 me without me knowing the game froze and i came back to him killing me .....
i opened a gate injured just as i heard killer heartbeat the game freezes i come back to the killer standing right next to me in the middle of m1
i used balanced landing after wasting killers time.... i hit the floor the game freezes for a second only to come back and have the killer m1 me...
it's pathetic that they refuse to acknowledge this issue, there is no way that this is my setup even running in low graphics it makes 0 difference.
had enough of it tonight it completely ruins games
