OFFICIAL PLEASE PUT THE UI BACK TO OLD VERSION PETITION
The devs tried to help but unfortunately it was something that the vast majority of players never wanted to see past the PTB.
Numerous people used photoshop and other editing software to show what we would have preferred but that was never implemented.
So PLEASE keep your feedback and wording on this thread polite and civil as I don’t want the mods to have a “reason” to close it.
Lets get as many different names / imaginary signatures possible and perhaps, just perhaps they may bring out a quick patch to revert the UI to what it once was.
Thanks
PS If you can’t put it back to the way it was, then please make another new one and model it off the perfectly good one you just replaced.
PPS Below is the one players would be happy to see.

They already said they can't, they made a completely new HUD System. There is no going back anymore.

They said they can’t revert it.. its too late. RIP DBD...

i really wish they add that one
similar to the old one
but with the new things implemented (character icons, and hook counters)

I really hope they revert this change. New UI is just way to spread out and small. I can't see hook timers and bleed out timers because they are so small. You use to be able to tell if someone was interacting with a downed survivor but that info is gone from the new UI. It just isn't an upgrade in any way but the hook counter and that is it.
I have some stuff to say about the new animations as well but I would be more tollerant of them if the old UI was back.

I find that extremely hard to believe, I’m not asking for a customizable one, simply the one we had yesterday. I can assure you that they still old files / code and it would not be that difficult for them to revert it!

Last time I checked they wanted more feedback from all players not just steam players. From what I've seen even console players hate the new UI so I have a feeling that if they don't want to lose a quarter of their player base they'll find a way to make it work for everyone. But what do I know. I'm just 1 out of maybe thousands of console players

They confirmed they can’t revert it

I am a software engineer.
I can confirm, that unless they completely deleted all history in source control, it is possible for them to revert it. Depending on how it was done, it might be difficult (have to cherry pick commits and such, or changing underlying systems that other new things rely on) but it is possible.
69 -
That's straight up pathetic and a new low for the devs.
Coming from a console player that is STILL waiting for proper optimization
47 -
Bring the old one back
84 -
Same boat but you don't even need software experience to be able to call bullshit on that statement. Where did they actually say they "can't revert" to the old UI? I know they said adding additional customization (such as size, position, opacity, etc of individual elements) would be 'not simple' to pull off but I don't remember reading anything about having no way to revert. That's just pathetic, if true.
31 -
I can live with most of it just for the love of the entity put everything in one corner, or at least one HALF of the screen.
7 -
At minimum, the best solution would have been to provide the new HUD, with an option to choose the old one, at least until they gather more feedback and narrow things down to the more ideal solution (which would be a completely customizable HUD with options of changing size, position and opacity for each individual element)

If your playing last gen your outta luck since the devs are probably focusing on next gen

I made a poll here https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/225204/new-hud-vote-yay-or-nay
Hope everyone votes on it so BHVR cant deny over 90% of people dont like it!
8 -
Where did they confirm this, because it gives me hope they atleast considered it which would imply they know how awful it is and want to address it
0 -
There is almost nothing that cant be reverted, it literaly just came out, as a developer I fail to see how the new hud affects the map or the new character models is such a way they cant even change it
5 -
They literally can't
1 -
they are just to lazy, and will thing of anything under the sun to not work to hard
11 -
This is the without a doubt what they should have changed it to!!
1 -
NotQueen confirmed it on Scorpionz twitch
2 -
They said the same for Auras.
This is BS and they know it.
41 -
Someone from their team said it on Twitch in Scorpionz Chat but i don't remember who it was.

Oh i know,seeing how BHVR can't be bothered to even fix FPS drops that have been here for years and can completely kill your game experience.
I'm mad and disappointed by BHVR and i'm seriously thinking of uninstalling right now
24 -
You do you but they won’t care if you stay or leave

They CAN change it, they might not WANT to, but they definitely can. She didn’t say it wasn’t possible, she said “there is no going back” regardless of what she or any other dev may say, it’s definitely possible.
25 -
I already said they won't revert it. The "console users should try it too" was just an excuse to force it down our throats.
We should not expect anything from these devs. They won't consider most of the feedback given anyway, they will do what they want and you have to deal with it.
11 -
There it is found it.
0 -
Hahaha, that's so sad. If you're gonna force it down the players throats, just be honest about it.
I mean, come on, how does that make you look when you put out another lie. Man up and just say that you will stick by it no matter what.
8 -
What's the purpose of PTB if BHVR ignore community's feedback? Who in the world wanted new UI or new animations?
35 -
So they ######### lied yet again. "We need to let console players experience first". I've tried to defend them many times when I thought they deserved the benefit of the doubt. But after this ######### I'm done defending them.
38 -
You should stopped defending them when they did the Halloween "event", what was nothing more than a cash grab attempt.
18 -
This is more of a don't want to than can't tbh.
Anything changed such as this can of course be reverted as its all about coding. The issue may be how deep they have put the coding of this change in with the overall patch. It's then more about the work needed to change it back being deemed not something they wish to put in.
Imo something such as this really should never be released with any other changes and be patched separately.
30 -
That sounds like one of those made-up reasons that one could hear from a movie, where there's nothing realistic but they just throw around a bunch of terms that sound technical.
6 -
It doesn't even sound unrealistic if you think about the fact that they weren't able to include the buff to Open Handed in this patch even though it's pretty much just a number change lol
4 -
+1 Get it out. Get it gone. I'm sorry to whoever worked on this, but it's not good. We did tell you it wasn't good and you went ahead with it though so that's on y'all.
11 -
No thanks
0 -
Please BHVR, take notes, seriously.
6 -
I wasn't playing during it. I tend to take breaks of a month or two at a time. Besides I said when I think they deserve the benefit of the doubt. From what I heard, they most certainly didn't then.
1 -
Saying you can't sounds like an excuse. You could get rid of the old UI. You can make a new HUD and bring back the original design. I mean what is this one actually offering differently but a headshot of the survivors, which no one asked for or needed. Cross out 'can't' and replace it with 'won't' and there you have it.
7 -
Touché!
0 -
Goddamn, the ammount of the dissatisfied topics and posts is obnoxiously atrocious.
With reason.
9 -
If everyone stops playing for a week or two they'll change it no matter what it takes, this game keeps BHVR alive if it dies, which it will if they don't stop screwing around then 100s of people will be out of work soon and the company will fold in a couple years.
If the daily numbers drop a huge chunk and they stay low they'll have no choice.
Shame on them for even trying to do this, I can't think of any other game or business that would attempt changing so many things at once especially when they all literally suck and nobody asked for because they'd be essentially killing their cash cow and they can't possibly be that stupid.
9 -
The UI is bad as it is, but the fact that now you cannot replace perks with custom icons in-game is BS. At least they gave me an extra incentive to play once I downloaded them a few month ago, but now, since they replace everything with purple icons, it is even more devastating. The red progress bar for a hooked person is so faint. And the HUD hurts my eyes. Keep implementing changes no one asked for.
8 -
Can confirm, new UI is really bad, please put the old one back, might as well revert the animations at the same time as they are terrible.
Please don't try to change things that no one asked for.
20 -
Be nice if they'd do a hot fix and put the old UI back, atleast until they use the feedback on new UI to make it one that players want to use.
3 -
Anyone remember the car / horse noise when repairing a generator? That was swiftly reverted!!!!
10 -
The new UI has honestly killed this game for me, all of the other questionable changes that these developers have made over the years have been annoying yes, but they have never stopped me from enjoying the game. This new HUD was so negatively received and despite the fact that no one had complained about the HUD or asked for the change prior, the devs as they always do, pushed the change to live anyway.
16 -
The new ui literally hurts my eyes, everything is so small and randomly scattered. This might finally get me to quit after years of devotion
15 -
Then they can make a new one they did that without asking the community if this is a good idea so now we are giving them our ideas on how to fix it like imagine in the next update the ds and ooo change went un announced until like a day before ptb or live and it was bad no fixing it
