BHVR, can we acknowledge fps on console is AWFUL since 4.1.0?

Quick question to ask, how is everyone coping with PC players on much better frames?
I'm on PS4, even on my frames they spin so smoothly, it's been pretty hard to hit them. Ive barely missed any swings despite that tho.
Versed some really good nurses.
Having to insta DC on Lerys and having to restart app every 2 games (i play slinger, very frame reliant).

Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Console Player the wise? I thought not. It's not a story the Devs would tell you. It's a Dead by Daylight legend. Console Player was a valued customer of DBD, so powerful and so wise he could use the Frames to influence the M1's to create hits... He had such a knowledge of the frames that he could even keep the ones he cared about from stuttering. The console side of DBD is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He obtained so many 4k's... the only thing he was afraid of was losing his frames, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught the Devs everything he knew, then the Devs lowered his frames in his sleep. Ironic he could save others from fps drops, but not himself.

In my experience PC players don’t juke very well, or at the very least they turn more “smoothly”, however they gen rush as if their life depends on it and they loop extremely optimally. The gen rush is the real problem though, for me.
i talk about it here

I found it impossible to kill with Crossplay on. The frame drops when I hit bloodlust or applied sloppy and the like were bad. Everything became worse on indoor maps, especially Lery's.
Was less of a problem with surv but I still felt it, with exposed and hook struggle death the most harmful.

So.... since Pyramid Head if a survivor comes within 5 feet of a killers POV and even so much as moves to the left or the right the fps will tank to about 3-5 fps per second
How can this happen?

Loading into Hawkins while playing as/against Doctor makes the game play like a slideshow, legit gave me a horrible headache so i had to dc
(gonna update this thread daily/weekly until we get more info on optimization)

As Hag I got Midwich yesterday...
Even being one of her best maps it was stressful because of the stuttering gameplay.. Not even the 4k made me happy.
Played this one match and closed the game because I didn't want to suffer from that again.

A little feedback from the devs would be appreciated....

Considering this thread is approaching 17 pages right now, I think the devs need to finally do something. So much talking about this.

Hi all, I have an update for you. I submitted a support ticket with regards to the framerate issues on console and here's the response I have received:
“Hello,
I'm really sorry for the trouble with FPS issues with your Console
The team is aware of this issue and they're currently working on a fix for it. We hope to have it resolved in an upcoming patch. Please do consider sharing more information where you're having FPS issues by making a post here: https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/categories/optimization
It'll really help the team consolidate all the issues and optimize the game further.“
Thank you again for your patience and understanding regarding this matter.
Stay safe out there...
The Dead by Daylight Team"
I don't like to jump to conclusions but this is great news!

if you remember, I did send a support ticket a long while ago. I didn't post the complete answer here, but since you did, here's mine:
"I'm really sorry for the trouble with FPS issues,
The team has been made aware of this issue and they're currently working on a fix for it. We hope to have it resolved in an upcoming patch. Please do consider sharing more information where you're having FPS issues by making a post here: https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/categories/optimization

Thank you again for your patience and understanding regarding this matter."
It is exactly the same answer. I highlighted in bold the only difference: in my case, the agent replied that the team "has been made aware", while in your case it is "they are aware".
So what we get from this is that they get a lot of complains about fps, so much so that they just use a template (1), and that they changed the template recently (2).
I really can't say if this is encouraging or not. I mean, we already knew Devs have been made aware and that they hope for an upcoming patch to fix the issue. Maybe next template won't have "they hope" but "they are praying the Aztec Gods for a fix", I dunno.

So it's just copy and paste response... Well this is disappointing.
3 -
Least you have that. What i got was
Hi Bullet,
Thanks for contacting us about this. I'm really sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. We're doing our best to optimize performance on every console. We don't have an ETA to provide regarding a fix, but I've forwarded your message to the team and they'll take it into account when considering future improvements.
We hope you'll bear with us as the team work towards improving the frame rate on PS4.

@Ryuzaki , without revealing the nickname, can you tell me if your agent had a Cardinal number in his/her name?
Maybe it's just him/her using the same template, and @Bullettimegod got another agent, who knows.
1 -
Alright, take your upvote and go.
3 -
So shall we create another post like this at the Optimization area?
2 -
"Upcoming patch." I mean, all future patches can be considered "upcoming." 😂
2 -
there is already (actually, there are a lot there, everyone still pending).
One of them was opened by me a few days before I opened this one here
5 -
that's a very long story and there's not enough fps to tell it!
11 -
2nd page on forums? Hell no! Go back to 1.
We need some kind of solution, this is atrocious at this point.

I mained nurse but stopped playing her because of framerates and sens.. i started to main Demo, now i can't play him because of fps, then i tried out slinger and it was really fun but now i can't even play him anymore at full potential... i mean every mechanical skills Killer get butchered by low framerates... looks like behavior want us to play only doc and freddy lol... seriously we never get a proper answer by them only excuses.. Post where we explain every problem with framerates? ignored. Post where we say fps bad? Oh SaYiNg FpS BaD dOeSn'T hElP US!!1.. bruh

I asked for a ETA on a fix for the framerate issues on my support ticket, this is the response I received:
"I am very sorry for the inconvenience that this has been causing you. Unfortunately, we do not have a solution to offer for this as of the moment.
This issue can only be addressed by our development team and we currently have no capability or means to solve this for you.
We can only hope for more of your patience and understanding as our team works on these issues.
Thank you very much."
It looks like an auto response...

Here's another video to add to the pile

holy guacamoly...

You get good fps as Doc and Freddy? How lucky of you!!
I've been playing with Franklin's demise with trapper or Hag just to steal survivors items because thats the only thing low frames won't get in the way...
5 -
i don't lol i mean they are ez to play so they don't require high fps
2 -
Bump cause this is getting ridiculous.
I know pc players are the majority of the playerbase but theres enough players on consoles to move forward with this fps update.
FPS should have been fixed before crossplay.
Stop buying cosmetics and aura cells. They have no reason to fix anything if we just keep giving them our money anyway.
The devs prioritize the wrong things to get fixed first and the more time you spend on this fourm and playing DBD, you really start to realize that if there not making money off it then trust me its not even being thought about.
They probably have a monthly meeting where they discuss this fps issue and this is how i think it goes
"Hey john the consoles players are still complaining about the FPS optimization we promised them over a year ago and never delivered"
"Hey bob how much we do in sales in cosmetics on consoles this month?"
"Well john, the amateur consoles players are just eating up all the new stuff we released, profits are looking good this month"
*laughs* "stupid console players will never understand"
"Just have a mod go post in the fourms that were still working on it, its worked this far lets just keep it going"
"Hey bob hows that new skin coming along for the new killer?... Yeah?... Make sure we bump up the price to $20 for this legendary skin."
"You sure there going to pay more for this skin than they did for the whole game? Of course there going to pay it!
"Make the new legendary skin top priority! Cya next month"
Bump # 2 and post # 500!

Here to help keep this thread alive, my console brethren. I've been playing this game for a couple of years now, on both sides, but it's gotten to a point in which I can't enjoy killer anymore due to the atrocious frames. It sucks since I started maining a killer from a franchise i really love, but can't help but feel extremely frustrated while playing with the game in this state.

"I patched them. I patched them all. They're stuttering, every single one of them. And not just the frames, but the killers and the survivors, too. They're like animals, and I slaughtered them like animals. I HATE THEM."

Omg. It's not that bad for me (yet), but when it gets to that point, rest assured that I would not continue to play DbD.
And maybe this is the future we are looking at. A couple of patches in the future, performance could be like that on every console and people will stop playing. 🤷
3 -
That's literally unplayable, how can this be acceptable in 2020?
8 -
This is Exactly how my games as Pyramid Head are.

I have bought every DLC for this game on PS4 with the exception of the Oni and Yui, I used shards to aquire those characters. I will not be purchasing The Blight as he will be unplayable due to the low framerate and being clunky making him very difficult to control with a controller. I would love to continue supporting this game but their priorities are so mixed up.
7 -
They are just gonna downgrade the graphics even more lmao
2 -
In all honesty I'm all for that if we get better framerate lol
5 -
Same.
3 -
I've bought every DLC and bought some of the licensed cosmetics including the Lisa legendary skin. I'm not buying the upcoming DLC, or any other, until they start fixing the console issues. Seems silly to keep buying things for console but not see console get supported.
5 -
It's me again just back again to say frame rate is still killing this game for console users and making for extremely horrible game play experience.. thank you for your time.

Love how all consolers who have been on this thread have been civil, polite even, and for the most part logical and reasonable. And still display the passion we all have for this game.
Very proud of y'all!

I'm already scared of that new bloodlust effect on the PTB...
6 -
Oh boy I havnt even seen that on any streams ve watched. Is it as bad as the red flash thing we had when we got stunned by a pallet? More information would greatly be appreciated.
BTW nearly at 20 pages! 🐖
4 -
Exactly. I'd be great if more people had this attitude.
2 -
I'm a PC player, and reading your guys comments just breaks my heart. It is absolutely unacceptable. But what really troubles me is the updated graphics on PTB, and oh boy do we have a bad time. The game just absolutely shreds our framerate in certain moments, so I can't even begin to imagine what console/switch players are about to experience. But on the other hand, maybe that's a good thing? Maybe when the game becomes literally unplayable they will realize, that they need to to something about it. It really infuriates me when devs think that the optimization is somehow " Low Priority ".
Anyways, I gave a lot of feedback from PTB and tested a bunch of things, and it turns out, that the Effects Quality is what causes our framerates to get so unstable (both on LIVE and PTB) . They're barely noticeable, yet very poorly implemented. So I hope they'll take my feedback into account

Appreciate the kind words and info. Could use some PCrs in the cause.
I remember Puppers when asked why he doesn't fire up the PS4 much anymore for DBD with some of his followers, he said roughly "why would I play at 30 frames or less when I can play at 100?" He knows. I think everyone knows.
8 -
At 5:25
It just looks like it would make the FPS drop you get when gaining bloodlust even worse.
3 -
Let console play crossplay without PC.
4 -
Just had a game on Hawkins with Hag...
Absolutely atrocious, it gave me a terrible headache.
The game has come to a point in which is physically hearting people, good job Behavior, hope you're proud.

Just had a game on Lerys with Demo. 10-15 FPS all the game, my poor eyes D:
