The Continued Ignorance of Performance Issues Continues to Hamper Player Fun

On ps4 I am. Usually leads to synch error and loss of BP. 😔

It’s sad cause Tricksters patch didn’t have any crashes or gamebreaking bugs(beside the pallet bug) that was it All Kill was a bug clean chapter
2 -
Oh ok apparently I didn't unlock the crown.
Alright.
0 -
I've escaped 3 times with a crown and don't have it. 😂 Love that the sparkle effect causes me to freeze more.
0 -
I never want to hear im a bad killer again. My weapon passed right through meg and there was no frame drops or lag 😭
3 -
Meg clearly outplayed you there...
That is very weird though dam

Ultra at 480p for xbox from the look of it. it is so dark on midwich that you can't see survivors in your face.

There have been a lot of chases where i see this happen and think "well maybe i was a little off" as were moving. This just happened to happen on a farming game with a ttv. We both were like "#########" because we werent moving. Just standing there.
This issue is why i stopped playing nurse :/
3 -
I froze while apparently looking at Ghostface. I didn't see him on my screen but the revealing him sound was playing during my 2 second freeze 😂
2 -
I am amazed you people can still play the game with all the freezing that ruins the chases completely.
I had enough when it got worse yesterday.
5 -
Event seems to have made it worse for me. Lag spikes whenever I swing my weapon, it's crazy.
4 -
I’m done playing until I get the new Xbox, which is thankfully in 2 days.
If there’s still blatant performance issues I’m dropping this game until they’ve fixed it.
3 -
Good luck. It could work out for you because some people don't have any gamebreaking issues on new consoles.

I love some of the anniversary dev coments on the loading screen.
Alice - QA tester "I hope you enjoy the anniversary!"
Yea, Sure...
13 -
You didn't know about the I-Frame charm that Megs can get now?
Oh, yeah............ it was PC-only... ;)
4 -
I'm honestly losing my mind trying to not miss out on the anniversary with freezes like this every time anything happens; gen pops, gen is left with Ruin active, hook someone, someones saved, exhaustion, any status condition, chests, totems; literally every action causes these freezes for everyone in the match using an affected format.
Some killers are worse buy you basically can't use the power without it freezing and the person who was in front of you has vanished.
Blight every slam freezes, Hag traps being activated, using Night Shroud at all, control Victor, try and Pounce with either Vic or Demo, bring up Tentacle, try and use tentacle - pretty much anything triggers it and as you can see from the clip, even not using the power at all doesn't stop it from happening.
Stopped playing before Twins release and came back as got caught up in the Resident Evil hype and wishing I'd stayed away now as I feel like a right mug for spending more money on this mess of a game again.
I don't feel valued as a customer at all.

This game is starting to feel like Cyberpunk's older brother
10 -
This isn't going to be fixed before the event is over.
This isn't going to be fixed before the next event.
This will not be fixed before the PS6 comes out.
The devs have no intention of fixing this.
Now go buy more skins.
12 -
It's getting to the point where if we don't get some real form of communication from BHV soon regarding it everyone on console at least who purchased the chapter needs to get in touch with capcom about buying something so broken that you trusted because it had resident evil associated with it.
9 -
Mmm boy, that's asking for a lot from BHVR. They haven't properly communicated with us in some time.
The most we get is the odd comment from Almo on an unimportant post.

69 pages nice

Tbf they catch a lot of ######### on here and other places on social media. And with how bad things are right now very few people are defending whats going on. I woukdnt be on here either if i were them. Bhvr isnt small like it was 5 years ago and at this point its not all on them anymore. Honestly as a company they probably grew to fast which can cause issues. CLEARLY their qa system/process is whacked and they have people that get paid to deal with angry customers.
To be clear im certainly NOT defending bhvr the company, just saying i doubt the devs are making all the decsiins and in an it environment if you dont have the proper processes in place things can get ######### pretty quick.

Question:
With all of the stuff in this thread, do you guys think DBD is in a worse place then it was 6 months ago? Otz doesn't seem to think so, and I honestly cannot fathom how he doesn't. (yes I know, don't take words of streamers as some Holy text but still)
15 -
If I had to guess, it´s for several reasons. 1) He plays on a top end spec pc so any and all performance issues are not noticeable to him. 2) The overall balance of the game has noticeably increased over the last year or so 3) Better tutorial + visual upgrades. Just my guesses though
8 -
Optimization and bug wise? It's definitely worse. This last month alone has given us massive stuttering, freezes, lagging lobbies, crashing that can make you actually lose BP and Blood web progression, and a massive increase in the "302" error before and after everyone readies up.
Balance wise? I'd say the game is in a better place.
9 -
Balance wise?
No,the game definetely improved in that regard.Not too much,but balance is overall better than it was before.
Game Health wise?
100%
Performance is getting worse and worse and we can't have an update without any major bugs
9 -
Ohtz is on a PC which has less issues than console. Ive been playing for 3 years, this is 100% the worst patch ever for me personally
8 -
Yeah, it's in a much worse place. This game runs so poorly now that the DX12 trick literally just makes it slightly playable for me. Why they hate my hardware I don't understand.
Maybe Otz is simply meaning from a balance perspective, since we don't have DS or Undying any more? Or that we have a larger overall playerbase thanks to lisenced content? Either way, those two positive changes don't overshadow
1) A broken game that can't run properly
2) The severe increase in holding W, predropping pallets, tunneling and facecamping
3) The buffed maps that were already Survivor-sided
4) Those same maps occasionally spawning massive deadzones
5) More killers that the community hates and pleases nobody (personally I love Nemesis, but you can't deny the undercurrent of hate from both sides he gets)
6) An event that, while pleasing enough, still failed to meet last year's standard simply because there's less cakes
And 7) Even less developer-community communication and severely increased Dev mistrust thanks to years of promises that have gone nowhere.
15 -
I love Otz but he’s wrong about that. With all the performance issues, this has been the worst state the game has been at least ever since I started playing.
I think you can say that Binding of Kin broke the game more than Resident Evil, but the fact that Resident Evil was one of the more hyped chapters this game has ever have makes it a real punch in the gut to the community. Not only is performance terrible right now, but it’s gotten to the point where the devs have lost a lot of the trust that the community has and it seems like we aren’t ever going to get the fixes we deserve.
It’s heartbreaking that that’s the case but BHVR has made it very clear that they just just don’t care anymore. At this point, the least the devs can do in just be honest with the community that they don’t care anymore.
9 -
We'll have Dead Island 2 before they optimize.
8 -
The Resident Evil chapter is even worse than Binding of Kin imo.
You were at least able to play the game (except the Twins).
But 5.0.0 and the two hotfixes just completely destroyed performance for the majority of the playerbase and makes playing extremely frustrating
7 -
Getting crowns in my killers. I was just walking around as Spirit in Thompson House since I haven't had a chance to check it out yet and I would get random freezes for no reason. Was worse if I came across a survivor or had one of the regular triggers for fps drops. Good thing I'm not trying to play killer seriously. 😬
6 -
Well I decided to do this to aid the cause and give examples of my experiences of the frame drops from a few matches I have played recently
6 -
Ty @Darkskies !
1 -
Np it's about time I added to the cause for pulsar ✊ truly gonna work harder to be showing examples here
I do discuss it often and tell people to come to this thread to ..together we stand for better console support! 🐷💖
5 -
This is painful to watch. And we all have similar problems.
8 -
PC here. My God I've been getting random network drops when my internet is a-ok. This is not fine. This is ruining the game SEVERELY, even more so than the random stutters I get. This is atrocious and I don't understand how they can have a game like this when they're opening themselves to the biggest video game horror franchise. The Silent Hill chapter was not buggy like this at all.
Yeah thank goodness they removed the DC penalty, I'd be completely ruined. It must be so much worse for consoles.
6 -
They removed the ‘Our team is actively investigating fps loss and performance issues’ from the head section. We don’t have any kind of news of what causes these issues. Can you be more contemptuous towards your community?
They should be more transparent on what is happening behind the scenes. It really feels that they have issues way more important to deal with than what is happening in consoles. And when you read the last patch notes, these issues are kinda meh tier :/
Does Bhvr do their own porting on consoles or are third party game developers involved?
9 -
We don't know the reason for the removal yet. Maybe they are putting something else soon or it is temporary.
4 -
Hey man honestly this started as a console issues thread but we welcome in you pc players to to the cause 🐷 💞
We are together in this! yes it's worse for us on console users but that still doesn't make your issues any less.
Thank you for adding your issues please feel free to keep updating your issues here regarding the performance of the game
🐷💖
9 -
I find your hope amusing no disrespect btw.. I keep saying hey maybe this patch it will be the one to fix things ... then I get very sad when it's not the case 🐷😭 but I will sit beside you with the level of hope and piggy positivity I am known for 🐽💕
3 -
I am not hopeful. I am just saying not to rush to conclusions.
4 -
You bring up a very good question. I assumed the devs did everything in-house including the ports to console.
@MandyTalk I know these last few weeks have been, er.... interesting for the mods here, but do you know or find out who handled the porting of DBD to the consoles & who oversees/monitors the non-pc side of things.
I'm not looking for targets for our barbs, just clarifications and possible lines of informed communication & dialog.
8 -
I'm so god damned sick of missing every single ability I try to throw out because my HDD locks up on console, this is actually torture and I feel I have to deal with it because I bought these killers to lvl up in the event like a moron.
12 -
You and me both.
10 -
Seems that ghost face plays the best right now. Still get random freezes a few dozen times a match but it's at least not every single time you use your damn power
4 -
Finally was able to play on the new RE map for the first time yesterday on X1X. And suprisingly it ran absolute smooth as surv.
Not only that, it seems the performance got way better for both sides on X1X. Anyone else?
2 -
This game is bad as it's ever been in terms of playability.
And this is not just me having a rant/whine/tantrum. It's that bad.
Playing PS4 yesterday, it's got to the point that when something happens, eg chase music starts, a pallet is dropped, a gen is completed etc: the game stutters and lags.
I've missed several hits and vaults because of this nonsense.
For example, I was on bottom floor near the bathroom of Gideon, went for a hook rescue, got chased by Nemesis, hit with tentacle as I got close, the screen went psycho and I found myself in another part of the corridor, resulting in another tentacle hit. It was ridiculous.
This game is currently far from fun. And the event with the people playing for crowns has made it even worse.
12 -
Another day, another infuriating experience at playing this game. Realy a company this big should be embarased by their product.
Thought this was bad until I played a twins game today. Will share soon enough.
17 -
yeasterday I left after two games, the freezing are getting worse and longer and it is unacceptable.
I'm sure none of the devs is happy about these issues, but at this point they should speak straight instead than not communicating.
If there is nothing to do for older gens consoles they should simply state it so we will know that the game is unplayable unless we upgrade.
