That would explain a lot...
No wonder updates are so slow and only come in batches. Whoever is in charge of these deadlines needs to just let their devs do their jobs instead of forcing them to have something out on X date.

This can be for platform specific certification. Not every platform is like steam where you can instantly push updates to players.

This happens when BHVR releases a game on X Platforms. Which should not have happened in the first place, but now its too late anyway, lol.

This is true, didn't think about that, but in that case I think it would be better if they just ironed out the kinks first and then set up the date for console certification. With that in mind, that would also be a fair explanation considering they also have it on Switch, with Nintendo being notoriously slow/picky with its process...

X platforms?
0 -
PS4, PS5, XBox One, XBox whatever the newest one is called, Switch, Stadia, Steam, Windows Store.

Why should the game be restricted to PC only?

Specifically the ones where certification is something that is required, Xbox/PlayStation/Switch are the ones that would hold an update back from getting released. This is assuming Windows store is the same process as Xbox, and stadia doesn’t need to push updates to clients.

Did I say that?
Even tho, I think that BHVR has overdone it with the platforms, I mainly stated that this is the reason why Patches need some time to be deployed. Different platforms have different restrictions which result into delays.
But honestly, we see quite a bunch of problems which happened because BHVR wanted to release DBD on every platform in existence. Game runs poorly on old consoles (which run games with way better graphics just fine), poor optimization are the big things. Smaller things like not being able to change Adepts are also a point.
Not saying that players from different platforms should not get to play DBD, but if you want to run before you can walk, more and more problems will pile up. (e.g. instead of fixing problems on PS4 and XBox, they released on Switch and Stadia..)

Ah, I see. I misunderstood, my apologies.

No worries. I also dont want to give too much ######### to the Devs with that, in retrospect it is easy to say that some things were not optimal.
But yeah, because of some platforms, we always have to wait on Updates. This is also a point why PTB-Feedback will (most of the time) not be in the Live Version of the game.
