Slight Vent About the New Update

I'm pretty pissed right now.

I have a matchmaking penalty because of this update.

The game has crashed 4 times since the update went live.

I'm being punished for BHVR's inability to create a stable product.

Vent over.

    I think a lot of people are tired of waiting for this game to be stable. This was supposed to be a huge day for DBD getting this kind of license yet they can't give us a stable chapter release then they need to stop giving us them and focus on actually fixing the core of the game.

    The performance issues are inexcusable.

    I'm sorry that you're having to deal with this.

    this game unfortunately doesnt have a good player testing enviroment like if they gave our accounts cosmetic items for bug reporting and whatnot on test builds i think they would get a lot more help. Especially if they arent properly testing each build themselves prior to a release. Now im not saying they dont do that but i could see more players wanting to test stuff out before the release if it gave them something as well as keeping the game way more stable on release. Its definately something BHVR should think about

    I'm very sorry to hear about your issues. The game's performance has been suffering quite severely this patch, and I know other people have gotten matchmaking penalties for the same reason, which is very unfortunate. 

    Honestly, guaranteeing game stability for all players should be a priority above anything else to the developers. The fact that there are many threads about the game having performance issues on the forum with no developer response is disheartening.

    We should not be punished for their faulty product. That is one of the reasons people hated the DC penalty being implemented.

    Honestly I'm actually quite happy after hearing everything that's happened so far that I haven't gotten to play the game yet

    Honestly, with all the performance issues console players have faced, I'm surprised any of you still play. I'd have quit a long time ago.

    We don't have many other options.

    yeah optimisation is horrible this chapter.

    im on PC and i have constant freezes, i can only imagine how horrible it must be on plattforms that already struggled with optimisation issues prior to this chapter...

    I agree with you, this update has been incredibly stressful on everyone.

    First the Demo addon Nerf

    Then Franklin's Demise nerf

    Then RPD removal

    Then the ridiculous cosmetic idea they have. They could have literally removed the head and allowed people to buy the chest and legs, but no. I can't defend that, BHVR. I love you, but that was scummy as hell.

    Then the incredible console lag associated with him, I can play the game perfectly fine if I don't play as Nemesis, but when I play as him, everything lags badly.

    They had two steps forward in the PTB, it was really good, then somehow they got loss and took six steps back.

    I am pretty upset as well. You're definitely not alone Pulsar

    I personally was excited for the bots.....I was unaware that it is just training and even to access that it requires online like really?

    Well, for the sake of your mental well being, I hope they spend some time optimizing the game for you guys, if not, I hope you find a new, more entertaining game.
