Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

So, when a player send a report, don't have to upload a video to youtube, and writte the URL manually....


Also, if someone want download or watch a replay be able to do it.

    Just for the record, you do not have to write a URL manually. You can send in a support ticket afterward, as long as you also filed an in-game report. I'm not saying it's perfect, but automatically recording everything is a bad idea.

    Do you know how big video files can be? I record LPs (not of DbD, but that's beside the point), and they can take up to 10 GB for a little over half an hour. Now, that's due to the encoding, which I set up to minimize the impact on my CPU, but it's the best way if you want to avoid increasing hardware requirements and worsening the game experience. With people playing sessions that can last for several hours, they'd be running out of space pretty quickly.

    You could say that the devs can set up the recordings on their end, but that would just shift the problem to the servers. That means increased costs (and/or worse server performance).

    Bottom line, if you need to record, you can record everything on your own. Yes, the report system needs improvements, but this is not the way.
