    Plattform PC:

    Badham Preschool is very bad now. Before you could look from one side of the street all to the other side so across the entire map now you cant see very far (and its too dark) and all objects or trees are just black silouets untill you come closer. They seem not properly rendered. This needs to change the old map was way better.

    Lampkin Lane: This one sucks aswell. Way too dark and you cant look very far same render issue like badham preschool.

    Léry's Memorial Institute WAY too dark. Old version is far superior to the new one.

    Corn maps are fine.

    MacMillan Estate: basicaly fine it just looks a bit weird but not gamebreaking. I liked the old version better though.

    Autohaven Wreckers: Personally i like it a bit better then before but it really isnt much of a diffrence.

    Backwater Swamp: Liked the old ones better but its not too bad.

    New map: Looks fine to me.

    Gideon Meat Plant: couldnt test yet.

    PC specs:

    i5 4690k
    gtx 980 ti
    16 gb ram

    Update:

    Gideon Meat Plant looks fine to me.

    New map: lower fps then on other maps not critical though.

    Badham Preschool and Lampkin late are extremly horrible. Render issues, cant look very far and super dark. Lower fps too.

    Issue: color changes
    Platform: PS4 Pro
    Monitor: 4K UHD TV by Samsung - UE40MU6170
    Map played: Lobby before the game

    Details:
    The characters faces and clothing appear very bright and overexposed after the update.
    It looks like the light cast by the fire (?) is now much stronger.

    Examples:

    To compare some other areas captured on the same system where the light seems well balanced:

    Notes:
    Afaik my personal tv settings are not affecting the PS4 Pro screenshots.
    Instead the screenshots show how it is rendered on PS4 Pro by default.

    Play Station Pro. 4k. Hdr.

    Lag lag lag. The new server is beyond laggy. Frame rate drops like crazy now. Ontop of that The game has been disconnecting around 50% of all game's. I tried to play 4 matches earlier and the game crashed on 3 of them. I played about 10 game's last night and me, or someone else was disconnected on at least 4 of the games.

    The new map is completely unplayable on ps4. The frame rates are very choppy and all movements are very laggy. Every single time I've played the new map, it disconnects after about 5-10 minutes.

    Also this isn't new, but can we please fix Kat and Agent taps hair? I thought Jeff was the metal head, not Kate. Sorry, bad joke. But for real Kate's hair is a dead give a way while it's spinning and flipping all over the place.

    Issue: Lag
    Platform: PC
    Quality Selected: Low (After this update)
    Problem: I am a survivor main and I've always had decent frame rate on the quality setting of Medium every since this update though, I've been playing on Low and also the textures seem blurry and the fog causes the game to drop a ton of frames and when I went to go play nurse for my daily, it was as if whenever I blinked and pushed M2 to blink again it already canceled my blink and cause me to do the glitch where you don't go anywhere with your blink and that is how bad the frame rate is and also when I'd 360 to dodge a killers swing it's nearly impossible for the following reason, 1. I am flicking my mouse which results in my camera going in a circle but when it goes in that circle it lags cause my game can't handle that because of all the new textures. 2. I'll have to stop mid spin cause I feel like my game is going to crash if otherwise and I don't wanna be a horrible teammate. Same thing also happens when I play killer cause I need to counter 360's so I flick my mouse what do you know, I stop and it freezes for 2 seconds by that time the survivor is out of sight cause they're using lightweight. I don't understand why you haven't removed sheltered woods cause it has so much fog and it's so small and it just makes you lag so much and nobody likes that map and almost everyone can agree on that statement I don't know if this is just for me but yeah I hope you fix this really soon it's making most veterans wanting to quit till then I'll keep Lagging In The Fog.

    Nea Karlson cosmetic - Cloudy Skies Pixie Bob

    Before the update the top hair was a shade of gray and the side hair black.

    After the update the top hair seems to be black with some gray "frosted tips".

    Example:

    Subjective impression:
    The new version would look interesting as an additional hairstyle variant ("Frosty Tips Pixie Bob" ? ).
    But it may not be what customers originally payed for.

    Issue: FPS drop
    Platform: PS4
    Map Played: Rotten Fields (Coldwind Farm) and the main menu
    Details: My FPS drops whenever I get a skill check while repairing a gen at the beginning of a match. It drops enough to where I miss it when I would normally hit it. On the main menu, the falling snow causes a noticeable FPS drop.

    Issue: Nea Head Cosmetics Post-Update
    Platform: PS4
    Maps: Any

    Details/Problem: After the recent update that added new lighting, killer, and survivor, I noticed that Nea’s 3 Pixie hairstyle cosmetics now look very weird. They look smushed and don’t even match the photo in the store. I own the Cloudy Skies Bob in which it’s most noticeable. I’m hoping this gets fixed so I can use them again.

    A small update to my earlier post (page 1).

    I now had to turn down my specs to Low. Low with a GTX 1080. If had to or otherwise I can't play Killer properly with all the fps drops I get. I do hope that doesn't stay and you'll be able to fix it. Optimisation Patch for December? I do hope that wasn't it.

    I generally really appreciate the new lighting, except for Lampkin Lane and Badham (too dark).

    Issue: directional sound, loss of some sound, color changes
    Platform: ps4
    Map played: all
    Additional Details: some sounds lack direction and play from everywhere. from what i've noticed, when pig's jigsaw boxes laugh the sound plays like it's in the distance but lacks a sense of direction, so it's impossible to pinpoint which box it is. also, when phasewalking as spirit, you can no longer hear footsteps of any kind. another thing is the brightness and darkness; maps with lower levels are waaaayyy too dark. it's hard to see.

    Issue: Too dark in dark areas
    Platform: PS4
    Map played: Groaning Storehouses, Ironworks of Misery, Lery's Memorial
    Additional Details: Pretty much on all maps, you barely can see in dark corners sometimes. For Lery's, that's some of the rooms. Claudettes are basically invisible in the dark. (I played with the same settings before the update and had no issues, so it seems this is something that came with the new graphics).

    Map played: Grim Pantry, Haddonfield, Coldwind Farm (and one more which I don't remember)
    Additional details: Before Christmas update, I didn't lose almost any fps (loss of 1-2 FPS). Now the perfomance is terrible, especially on killer (loss of 5-10 FPS, sometimes an FPS drop when getting downed or hit with Sloppy Butcher). It's not fun to play like that.

    Issue - Sound, especially directional sound, is busted
    Platform - PC
    Map played - All maps
    Additional details - Since the update, sound has been really messed up. Directional sound especially seems really bugged. I can't tell which direction sound is coming from anymore, which is very detrimental for killers like Spirit who rely heavily on sound when she is phasing and can't see. Now she cannot hear footsteps AT ALL and if the survivor she's chasing is injured and moaning the sound has no direction so you have no idea where it's coming from. Usually it sounds like it's underneath you.

    Issue - FPS drops
    Platform - PC
    Map - All maps
    Additional details - Sometimes when I go to hit a survivor it just freezes for a few seconds and sometimes I'll be lucky and have hit them and other times my killer freezes and they get away. It's really annoying to drop frames so hard at such an important point. It happens at least one a game, if not multiple times, usually one of the first hits of the match.

I noticed my FPS were abysmal so I dropped Quality to Low, still barely managed to get 60 fps. When I go game, during chases or what not I drop FPS to 50 or even lower. I reinstalled the game, checked integrity of game files and nothing works.

    Issue: Graphic downgrade
    Platform: Xbox One X
    Display: 1080p and 4K

    When you first updated the engine, the graphics were improved on Xbox One X from before however there was noticeable shadow boxes on characters and in darker areas and LOD rendering issues. When you added the Holiday Event, those shadow boxes were gone and the overall image quality was crisper and the LOD was greatly improved.

    Now that you reverted back to the normal look, the shadow boxes are back and the overall image quality is back to before the event and the LOD issues have returned and are quite noticeable again.

    More than likely due to you not really even meeting the minimum requirements for 60fps on low, try moving over to windows ten or taking the initiative to spend around 20-40$ on some RAM, it's easy to install you can find multiple websites on it.

    The game is causing my entire pc to crash (sometimes blue screen, sometimes just frozen), happens several times a day. I may play 4 or 5 matches before it crashes. I used to play at medium settings prior to the unreal engine update and the game ran flawlessly. I now play the game on low settings and it crashes very often. According to HWInfo my temps are good on my video card and processor. CPU and Ram usage is below 70% but GPU usage is around 95-100%.

    Issue:Blurred/Rubber-like textures on Low and sometimes on Medium too
    Platform:PC/Steam
    Map:All
    Quality Selected:Low
    Additional Details: Ever since i started playing DBD,last year,i've always played on Low graphics,reason being that the game looks brighter,sharper and has HORRIBLE performance from Medium-Ultra,i've never had this issue with these extremely blurred rubber-like textures that i'm having ever since the engine was updated,some matches are completely bugged like the image,others only from a far distance,it fixes when i set it to Medium,but i can't play because the fps and graphics look horrible on higher settings,i'm just not playing with these bugged graphics because i feel like i'm playing a PS1 game lol

    It usually get worse when the whole map have these bad or pre-loaded textures and it stays that way till i restart my game,it's not bad enough that i have to restart my game due to infinite loading screens..i really want to play but i'm just not motivated to play the game like this

    PC Specs:
    GTX 750 1 Giga
    8 GB Ram
    1 Tera HD

    Additional details: Lighting on the older maps looks absolutely terrible. Macmillan looks like it has multiple floodlights shining on it. Autohaven Wreckers is covered in a foggy green miasma, and Coldwind Farms maps look like they've been sprayed with Agent Orange. The new Ski Lodge map looks fantastic, however. The overall brightness of all the maps makes scratch marks extremely hard to see, as previously I relied on contrast of their brightness to discern them. Additionally, the game becomes very dark when going indoors.

    Basically this. I left the game because of it. Dark places are too dark, and bright places are too bright. In particular, the lighting by the log pile on Macmillan's is so much my eyes squint.

    Additional information for PC

    Quality selected : Low
Processor : 8700k @ 5.0GHz
RAM : 16GB DDR4 3200 CL14
Hard Drive : Samsung 970 Evo 500GB NVMe
Graphics Card : MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X (8GB)
Monitor : Acer XF270HU IPS 2560x1440
Operating System : Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 1809

    Pre unreal engine update, I got 190FPS constant in game on any map. Now the max I can get is about 130 in game with dips to 100 in certain circumstances or certain maps.

    I am having issue with the latest 2.5.0 update too with the basement glitch (enter basement and unable to leave). I believe I have resolved this issue by locking my FPS to 60 but I am hoping this issue can be resolved as I much prefer playing with higher frames.
