Is general focus of game on PC more than console?
Surveys seem to focus on PC.

From my understanding and from what I've seen PC is a hell of a lot more looked at than consoles. Just look at the FPS among other things.

I don't play on console so I don't know what killers are like. I only know what I've heard. Are they bad?

Playing killer on console (PS4,Switch,Xbox One) can be extremely annoying because of FPS drops (often times when somebody uses an exhaustion perk,someone loots a chest,getting bloodlust 1 etc.)
Can't tell you how many hits or even games i lost because the FPS drop had to happen at the worst possible moment.

Dead by Daylight is definitely a PC-first game.

Now that's just wrong. I'd ask for a fix but... uhh... I think we all know that outcome of that one.

Thing is,the devs already promised us stable 60 FPS for december 2019...
After all this time they couldn't even fix these FPS drops and we get to hear absolutely nothing about the state of optimization.
It's infuriating to say the least

Do you have a source on that promise, Chief?
That sounds very sus and I feel like you are blowing hot air at people here. Can we verify that claim pls?

well, its a PC game at base that got ported to consoles later so i'd have to assume the priority is PC

It's not easy to port a game to terrible hardware while keeping all the content in place.
Ironically modern phones are absolute monsters and remaking a whole game for them is easier than for consoles which are literally made for games

Ask and you shall receive (it was even summer 2019)

This game started on pc and they never would've expected it to get big enough to make it to console is the truth, I don't think any of the devs could've imagined the game would branch out and grow this much, if only some of you on console could've saw what ridiculous things we had to put up with at the beginning of this games life cycle

Another one from 2018

Not to split hairs here but @OniWantsYourMacaroni
Aiming to do something isnt the same as promising. That being said I dont own a Playstation 4 nor Xbox One.

The point is this goal of a steady 60 fps for all platforms has not been met, nor has there been direct word since about if let alone when.
Makes those on console seem forgotten, and those on the older PS4 and Xbox1 feel very much left behind. My heart goes out to our Switch cousins they got it the worst.
From what i read here, those on PC with lower end rigs that do meet the min requirements suffer much the same way. And the really infuriating thing is it's only DBD that the consoles have such a hard time running well, with much more demanding games far better optimized.

Sure,but the problem is that there's pretty much no progress on optimization.The FPS are still extremely unstable.
And FPS drops (e.g getting bloodlust 1,getting hit with sloppy butcher/noed/freddy,someone using an exaustion perk,someone looting a chest etc.) is still a HUGE issue,that constantly affects gameplay in the worst possible way.
Here is just one example:

Knowing I've lost a game because of something triggering an FPS drops to screw me over is so frustrating. Think the fact there's a post (https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/187573/console-optimization/p1) that has console players listing the many triggers on both sides shows how bad optimization is for console. That weekend they removed bloodlust was so nice to not deal with that fps drop trigger.
Thanks to the lack of optimization it has made more ps4 players turn off crossplay so wait times with crossplay off are pretty nice.

Yeah,absolutely agree.There's nothing more frustrating than losing games because of those FPS drops >:(
They even knew the triggers since at least March 2020 https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/138799/fps-horrible-on-ps4#latest
It's embarassing and pathetic at this point.Optimization is still such a HUGE issue in this game but BHVR just chooses to do nothing whatsoever and doesn't even tell us why.
I guess being forced to pay 500€ for a next gen console is good enough for them :>

Or your 7-8 year old console hardware is hard to develop for simultaneously with a PC game thats still receiving updates in 2021

Oh no you didn't 😲

I've seen quite a few PC players that also had performance issues with DbD even though their PCs handled other much more demanding games just fine.
Truth is,this game is a poorly optimized mess

Devs refuse to optimize the game for console because they're mad at you for stealing all of their macaroni.
