The Continued Ignorance of Performance Issues Continues to Hamper Player Fun

That's awesome you were able to upgrade. Glad to hear it runs well enough for you to turn crossplay on.

2 matches in on the event. First match against Wraith on new map and game ran fine, no issues hopping in/out of snowmen or getting hit in them. Second match on RPD against Artist was terrible though. I don't know what the trigger was, maybe she hit someone in snowman suit or they hopped out or maybe it was something else, whatever it was I had full on 5+ second freeze while running down a hallway where I thought the game was going to crash.

I should’ve worded it better. Just hoping console players can get the QoL they deserve at some point.

Like a Wraith.

Don't know about the event as still not playing due to the issues from the patches post Nemesis; I doubt the event is going to improve anything and things weren't fine before the event so its a safe assumption it will be the same or probably worse.

Aside from RPD issues I commented about today any of the performance issues just seem like the regular ones.

I doubt this is because of the event but I’ve had issues with the purple glyph multiples times.

The problem I’ve had with it is that on maps like RPD, I would get near the glyph while its currently mid air, and it wouldn’t move again after so I am unable to collect the glyph.

Has this issue occurred before and are you guys trying to fix it?

My ps4 does not like the current lobby. When we first got it I mentioned how my fans were way louder than normal, which I didn't think they could get louder but this lobby has shown they can. When we had the holiday lobby going they were at their "normal" loud for when DBD is up. Since the current lobby came back after the holiday event finished my fans again are way louder than normal.

Aside from that still experiencing the same performance issues I've been having. Hooks/unhooks back to freezing, Nemesis and RPD still causing the worst performance issues, Artist still causes a freeze at start of match so I instantly know it's her, etc. I guess just wait until next patch to see if anything gets better/worse, in mean time I'm mostly playing other games since the event ended because I have very little patience now with performance issues on top of the bad matchmaking.

I play on PS4 slim and it is mostly ok.

There are still these stutters and little freezes when a lot happens - like unhooks and event happens - or killer downs and gens explode.

I have the feeling that many events at the same time cause a kind of server spike that causes the lags and stutters.

Seems like the freeze on hook and unhooks are back on PS4

Going back in this post myself and others at beginning of December commented we were getting freezes again on hooks/unhooks so it's unfortunately been an issue now for over a month.

Not BT, I've had it happen when no one is running BT.

I haven't paid close attention to all the perks in a match when it happens but there are alot of hook related perks being run at a time on both sides that could be causing the issue.

I wouldn't be surprised. It could be the scourge hooks - when hooked it freezes figuring out what scourge effect it will have, unhooks the game freezes to "reset" the hook to apply scourge again. Next time I play I'll pay more attention to the perks being run in the match.

I'm using Hex Plaything, so that might be what's causing the freezing on hooks.

Not sure what changes were made but my ps4 fans weren't sounding like a jet engine today in the lobbies, it was amazing.

Only played some survivor matches. Didn't notice any performance improvements, didn't feel worse either. Really just felt the same. Still have same freezes I had before the patch. Couple funky freezes where my camera turned randomly that I have no idea what caused it. Once was when I hopped on a gen by myself, didn't happen again so not sure what caused it.

For the event I've noticed some hitches when the envelopes are activated/claimed. Beginning of one match I didn't see my envelope right away, when I saw the aura appear I had a couple second freeze - almost like the game froze when it realized the event stuff hadn't loaded in.

Played some killer matches tonight. I'm getting really bad freezes when survivors are vaulting. There was one where I froze as a survivor vaulted a window in a building and moved forward into the corner. Luckily I'm not playing for kills but if I was that would cost me chases.

While playing survivor had couple matches against a Nemesis, still bad performance and sketchy hits. Freezes still from him using his power and getting hits that are very questionable. At this point when I play against him I can't tell what should and shouldn't hit because everytime there's a freeze and sometimes I'm in front but it's a miss while other times I'm behind a wall off to the side with no LOS and it's a hit. It's more inconsistent than Ghostface reveal mechanic.

Since the last patch I've noticed even worse performance in the menus themselves, worse than normal frame drops and not just in the bloodwebs either.

When navigating around the store it is especially noticeable, and the archives & rift are slower as well.

As far as in-game, Lithe and vaults in general seem to freeze up the game worse now and of course all of the old known triggers still exist.

Sadly I haven't streamed DBD in over a year, where i used to move the Twitch vods to my YouTube. My Xbox1x can no longer run DBD and stream internally from its Twitch App at the same time.

I have no idea how to move a clip I ask the Xbox to make anywhere else, and I own no PC.
