Any console players deal with game freezes (as a killer) during hooking, vaulting, dead hards, and basically any action? Just a slight momentary freeze, enough to completely be facing the wrong direction? Specifically those console players on last Gen consoles. Xbox One, & PS4. If so, have you since upgraded to the new Xbox or PS5? Did that go away?

I've been noticing FPS drops a bunch as survivor on ps4. Lots of triggers that have been in for awhile (hit with sloppy butcher, gen complete, survivor hooked, survivors screaming from madness, Doctor madness on self, indoor maps, after chest has finished being searched and picking up the item, going into Freddy dreamworld...) but now some new ones like if teammate is running perk that'll activate on my HUD like leader or streetwise I will get a stutter, when a killer uses Oppression while I'm working on gen with teammate the skill check will freeze wicked bad, and while I'm unhooking someone it stutters a bunch.

Yes! That’s a perfect example. A stutter during certain actions. It happens all the time! I’m curious if the new solid state consoles would get rid of that, because those things are difficult to recover from.

I saw from players that bought the new systems when they first released that they powered through the performance issues that caused the FPS drops but recently I've seen both new xbox and ps5 players start to have some performance issues after the most recent update.

Been dealing with those frame drops and momentary freezes described here for over two years on my Xbox1.

Same here on PS4.

On xbox one, had frame drops and freezing prior to animation changes heavily on 360s and dead hard. Haven't noticed it since.

I play on pc, but used to play on xbox and switch when my chemistry class was boring and never had freezing but my ps4 constantly roared like an ac130 and would freeze on actions like grabbing or hooks.

Prioritizes is see...

I’m using a PS4 pro and I suffer momentary frame drops whenever my status changes. For example, if I’m hit with Sloppy Butcher or hit by Freddy whilst I’m awake.
It’s the most annoying when you get hit near a wall or corner, because the game makes me sprint burst into a wall and I gain no distance from the killer.
I don’t think I’ve really noticed anything on killer a part from sometimes my hits go straight through the survivor and don’t register. I also sometimes get it where I’ll do the grabbing animation to pull a survivor off a gen or to interrupt an unhooking and it just cancels. But I’ve seen this happen to PC players too.

As survivor the killer often freezes when in chase so I often hesitate because I can't tell where they're going (which often leads to getting hit)

I play in a PS4 pro and have had these freezes almost every match. It usually coincides with some effects on screen or something.
As a survivor I've had freezes on skill checks with gens, when the game seems to 'catch up' with itself when the killer swings as if it's like 'Hold up I gotta just calculate whether you got hit there...' and especially against hag which is just a massive jolt of effects and sounds. Hag traps freeze a lot of the time on certain maps.
As a killer it always freezes when bloodlust kicks in. I haven't played killer much since the de sync, it just doesn't seem right but it's always done little jitters and freezes that ######### me over sometimes. Quite often when I swing for a survivor, it's the main reason I don't play legion, you NEED to hit that frenzy stab and on console it's just unreliable.
TL;DR - I play on PS4 Pro and I get stutters all the time on both sides.

Im on Xbox Series X and so far the only times i got fps drops is on Nurse blink & hooking someone. Also i got weird moments when i hit someone but the game doesnt recognise it instantly. The hit lands like 1s off the time my animation was completed.
I want the old graphics bacl before the latest updates. There were no fps drops or lags at all.

I don’t know what it is called, but I’m getting a thing where a survivor will be one place, and suddenly vanishes and appears in a different place, usually running in totally different direction. It has made some chases as killer pretty hard.

Same on Xbox Series X sadly. Bring an offering for the reworked SAW map next time and post your fps-experience.

Yeah I play on PS4 and I get little stutters all the time,
Hit with sloppy butcher, going into dream world, when a chest is searched, and like clicking on any button on the screen on main menu such as clicking loadout or switching survivors.
My dream is for optimisation to be improved, it would make the whole experience better.
1 -
It freeze at any moments. Usually booking a survivors or survivors being unhooked.
It messes me up when I'm moving my camera around.

This update made me feel like FPS were smoother on PS4 but the stutter is still a thing whenever a status effect occurs (i.e. sloppy butcher is the most common).
1 -
And you can be damn sure that it will always happen when you're about to hit the survivor but miss the attack anyway because of the FPS drop from bloodlust.

Unfortunately, the console versions of DBD were a quick cash-in. I wouldn't expect BHVR to optimize the game on previous gen even though they promised they would back in 2019. The new Game map runs like crap on PC as well.

This post was closed after couple people commented on it recently (comments were deleted) but has good list of triggers for fps drops for killers and survivors that are still in the game.

When a survivor head hards, my game just looses all the frames and pauses instead.

I've had that happen to me playing before.. My ps4 used to get so hot playing this game, I literally had to open it up and replace the thermal paste in a few places (even in some places where theoretically it shouldn't have gone, like as a replacement for the thermal padding around the inner case, but the thermal paste I used was a metallic-thick blend, so it wouldn't become runny) but afterword my performance was slightly improved...
This game just wasn't optimized for the (now) last gen console. But hey, I've been able to play for close to 4 years now on the same system, so there's that.

Yeah,that happens with other exhaustion perks aswell
