Billy's chainsaw feels weird, "sluggish" and much longer pre 2.4.0
Huntress hatches feels off aswell, but can't pinpoint exactly what's different. Windup time probably, not sure.

(nurse blinks to load, but probably just the audio bug from the engine update. Same with spirit no footstep sounds)

You guys noticed that aswell or even more?

    Can't tell since I've only played one game so far but on the other hand I wouldn't be surprised at all
     Its been a habit lately........

    I guess we've had too many killer buffs lately. Had to sneak in a few nerfs to keep survivors happy.

    It's probably not a "shadownerf". More likely it's cuz the update broke some things.

    Those all sound like just new engine issues.

    I have noticed the cooldown for Billy is much longer than before.

    Billy didn't seem any different to me. Haven't tried Huntress.

    Huntress with all the video engine updates will probably feel wonky.

    I played against her as survivor. Her humming is broken. I could never tell how far she was because it sounded so muffled.

    So I guess that's a buff until we get the sound fixed.

    Well, we had the best sound back in 2016. After the first engine update the sound got broken and we never could hear footsteps behind walls etc again. They said they gonna fix it but never really did. Maybe this happening again. Wouldn't surprise me tho

    I like the change that Nurse doesnt have the fatigue screen aka the blackness around the corners of the screen. I dont get dizzy anymore (Maybe its because i changed to low settings idk)

    Clown's bottles are REALLY slow too. And they burst mid-air. They all sound like bugs to me.

    Right? Like "sound gets busted"........ stays busted for 6 months and is never as good as it once was after they "fixed it"...

    Console frame rate has been broken since the Clown patch 6 months ago.

    Every time it was brought up, it was shot down saying “shut up, the big optimization is coming in December.”

    Guess what? Still broken.

    The only thing I've noticed with Huntress is environmental hitboxes seem bigger, so hatchets get eaten by stuff a tad more often. Other than that, nothing.
    As for Billy, yeah, that chainsaw feels weird. And Clown has like 3 new bugs, it's weird.

    Here come the conspiracies again, it can't be that it's an optimization issue, bug(s), you're just looking for excuses, you're imagining things that aren't there etc.

    The only thing i've noticed as a killer so far has been the sound issues especially on Spirit but I've simply adapted while they work on the fixes. Both sides are having to adapt right now to all the changes and the bugs etc.

    It happens every patch when they do major updates and every patch the conspiracy theorists come out and every patch it's nothing intentionally done deviously.

    Well said Sir, and why you are maybe the most reasonable person on this forum and it is a crime you have not been selected as a Mod. The game is so buggy right now no matter what side you play as.

    The sound got destroyed this patch as well as quite a few other things.

    Have BHVR shadownefed in the past? If they don't have a history of doing it, then its probably worth reporting.

    With Freddy I feel like I can put people to sleep behind walls, sometimes a survivor is hiding and I dont know their there so I just do the standard look around with dream demon up and I hit something but I cant see them and when I look around they're  somewhere behind a wall or something. I noticed that when they get sleeped behind walls Freddys laugh and power sounds quiter than normal and when I put a survivor to sleep while I'm looking at them its normal. Not sure it's just me or not but it definently feels weird. Also you used to be able to walk around with your power up and no slowdown but now he definently feels slower with the power up

    As a Billy main cool down seems longer by a bit.

    Yes, but it’s gotten worse and worse.

    Yes because everything is always done on purpose and not as is often the case an unintended change like they've announced when they fixed things.

    You really start to tunnel me? 
    Just because you think I'm biased?

    Meh, the devs probably simply forgot to appoint some changes. But those are still shadow nerfs. Nothing evil behind it. Or malice. Just bad memory. Like when they gave us surveillance. Thinking that a killer could hit 3 gens in 16 seconds...

    Transferring all the data on to another engine may cause script errors- most likely, due to the new engine and the compatibility with the current script. I think it’ll be back to normal in a few weeks.

    I'm not following you around aka tunneling you since I'm just scrolling down the list on each page and posting. As for being biased yes, that's pretty obvious if you go back and look at how you always bash or insulate it's the survivors fault.

    You can't see it because it's basically 2nd nature to you but others have tried pointing it out as well yet you might not even be aware you're doing it. If you read your comments to some of the heavily biased survivors players then swapped heir names for your and looked at your that way you'd see.

    I only just started to really play Billy after the update. I thought I just suck with chainsaw, but maybe it's actually broken. I've been just using my main attack to actually chase, only using chainsaw to get around faster or break pallets faster.

    @ModernFable said:

    I agree, but it was still a pretty massive problem before. My friend that got me into the game plays Nurse, and has the game on PC, and he said since the beginning he has frame rate issues on a lot of maps. After playing Nurse myself more recently (last few months) I can confirm it to still be the case. Lery's and Haddonfield are the worst offenders.
