This update was rushed out, and now we have deal with tons of annoying bugs.
I started playing DBD about a month before ghostface came out, and I think this is the buggiest chapter release I've seen since I started playing the game. If I listed every bug from this patch, we'd be here all day, so I'm just gonna highlight my personal favorites.
-Bloodlust will freeze the game for a second, at least on Xbox.
-Dragon's Grip doesn't make people scream, making it about 12x more difficult to use without the information.
-DS stuns are bugged, meaning you can stun the killer and be downed again.
-Hooking, locker searching, and vaulting are bugged, meaning you sometimes have to spam the button to perform a basic killer action. (This is the most annoying one IMO.)
-Sometimes slugged survivors just cannot be healed, so you better hope they have unbreakable. (I've heard this isn't new, but I figured it was worth mentioning.)
-Sometimes The Blight will spawn with his limbs scattered contorted around his body, which may be my new favorite thing to ever happen in the history of ever.
I would've written these off as unnoticed bugs, but these are pretty hard to miss aside from the bloodlust bug on console. If I didn't have archive challenges to do I would play Fall Guys until they fix this mess of an update. It's sad because The Blight is my new favorite killer, yet he released with a broken update.

God I hope I will experience that last bug for my self

What, you don't want to see your head spawn in your chest?

Wait, can I see a screenshot of Blight's scattered body??? LMAOO
Also, agree. There is an absurd amount of bugs in this patch. I'm a little peeved but I do love the game regardless and know it probably won't be long before they fix everything up :0

Well, you know the old BHVR motto: patch out one bug, here are two more.
3 -
Like every DLC. Nothing new.
7 -
I love this patch so much i decide to stop playing it
8 -
Yeah, but this one seems a little extra buggy.
4 -
Clearly you haven't played DBD for more than a couple years. There's been worse updates.
I remember when they used to break sound with every other upda.....wait. Wait...that never stopped.
0 -
The worst one I've heard was probably the bug that allowed you to blind the killer at any point during the pickup animation to guarantee a drop. Maybe it wasn't a bug, but I can't remember what my friend told me.

Name one update that doesn't have a ton of bugs attached to it?
3 -
Forgot to mention the new killer buff: NO TR or Red Stain... (I'm a killer main and don't even want to play as killer 'cause this is beyond busted).
1 -
Trying to fit the theme of the chapter lol.
3 -
They were so busy making The Blight's TR they forgot everyone else's.
4 -
I think It was more like "ok guys, sounds are kinda messed up, killer's can't hear footsteps or gens being worked on, so let's twitch that a bit aaaaand. Ok we f. up again."
1 -
I think someone explained this to me once before. The way steam/sony/microsoft works is the devs can't exactly test these updates until they go live. There's the PTB but that's to try out new things and to tweak numbers. I don't think they can foresee what bugs will show up until the update gets downloaded and mixed in with the existing code.
But yeah, each update introduces bugs.

Why does everyone keep saying DS is bugged I've gotten D- striked multiple times since the patch and it works the same as before.
0 -
I'd say the same except it randomly started happening to me when I'm D striked then it stopped for the rest of the day
0 -
They did something similar, but with pallets. If you dropped the pallet on a killer at any point during the pickup, they dropped the survivor.
Also - neither were bugs. Those were actually intentional until the community was like ######### M8, and made them revert the change.

Encountered the zero terror radius myself tonight. Between the bugs, the matchmaking, and the Moris, I don't know why I play anymore.
3 -
That's inaccurate. It's 100% on BHVR and their lack of proper testing.
I play Overwatch, which is on PC, PS4, Xbox, and Switch, and when they patch, even when they release a new hero, there are not as many serious bugs as we get here.
Yes, there are bugs. Every online game will have them, but it's clear they test their patches over there. Whereas it is very questionable whether BHVR does the same.
Multiple platforms is not the issue, unless the bugs were only on the Sony or Microsoft platforms. The issue is BHVR.
8 -
Then I take it back. BHVR just sucks at programming.

I really hate how I love & enjoy this game sometimes..because when its decent or even good, I have a blast...and then POOF bugs, glitches and just unnecessary changes just weigh down the fun.
I feel that the development team actually can't fix the game and can only band-aid fix it between updates or try to distract with new Chapters or updates like graphical changes to Gens, Chests and some of the maps.
Like I'm sure glad I have issues hooking Survivors, or Terror Radius of Killers sometimes not being there, or how basic actions bug out for the trade-off of new Gens & animations....
3 -
It was not a bug that was intended and instant blind was a thing they change it when a dev play a game vs a swf and he could not get a single hook or down that why they should play their game a bit more XD

Luckily the survivor was a bro and let me down them and try again. Pretty good job so far.

I have two daughters and myself that play this game on three different xbox x's and televisions. I have a sony bravia A1E OLED television and I started playing maybe 2 weeks ago. Have never had a problem seeing the whole time. Yesterday I bought the new blight killer and some other things that added up to around 75 dollars or more and planed on buy more for my kids, but now I CANT EVEN SEE THINGS RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. I CAN LOOK AT A TREE AND IT IS COMPLETELY BLACK OUT LINE. I AM SO MAD RIGHT NOW. THERE IS NO SETTING FOR THIS. I have been telling my friends to download this game because it was so fun but now this is ridiculous. Please contact me back I forgot to tell you I only play Freddy for right now. And from what i am reading the dream world is what's causing the problem it's too Dark.
3 -
Oh yeah, I forgot about how super dark it is on some maps now....and on console we can't tweak or change the lighting/graphics like PC players can....
2 -
No it's not even that, it was fine the day before NO problem, but after that update it became unplayable
1 -
Definitely not rushed since it was in testing for a month but yeah very buggy update due to them adding too much into their literal spaghetti servers hopefully we get a fix that doesn’t cause any bugs worse then the current ones

The fact the people who made this game were the ones who thought that patch was a QoL change is just scary.
0 -
This game is pretty busted but just really fun.
0 -
Wasnt a bug. Abused the hell out of it though lol.

The Bloodlust one isn't new. I'm on PC and the game has had micro freezes whenever Bloodlust or a status effect gets applied for years. Sometimes the freezes are really short, other times it's closer to a second and you invariably waste your speed boost by running into a random object...
People have been calling for a QoL / Optimization / Bug Fix sprint for a while now. This game really, really needs it.

We literally had no version of this patch on the ptb so what do you expect?
1 -
Yeah they can't fix the game but they can sell you new skins no problem!😤
2 -
It's hard to be surprised at how buggy this patch is when the ptb for this chapter was literally useless. They put out an old build on the ptb and never updated the ptb to the latest build to get better feedback.
They also increased the time between ptb and release a while back and it feels like less things are done in 3 weeks than they were back when it was 2 weeks.

FPS drop,freezing,stuttering and lag.That's what i found in the new DLC.
Not playing DBD from 3 days already because is absolutely running bad on my PC.But before the update everything was fine
0 -
Anyone else played Wraith and not been able to attack immediately once reappearing? I have a 1sec+ delay before I can attack when coming out of cloak..
it's hard to want to keep playing when i encounter an issue at every turn

I once made a post suggesting that the devs take 1 chapter as an "operation health" where they fix bugs and balance different aspects of the game. The general response of the community was: "They'll never do that. That's dumb we just want new killers." So... killers over bug fixes I guess...
1 -
So do the developers even look at these post or am I just out of luck in playing Freddy. It really my fault I should have read the reviews before I spent 75 bucks on different characters and upgrades. Freddy is the character that I wanted to play but now since dream world is so dark its unplayable. Have they at least acknowledge the fact that's no one can play him. I just started playing this game 2 weeks ago so I'm new to all of this

You're giving bhvr too much credit. Assuming that every patch but one over the last four years, didn't get pushed out the door before it was ready.
