They need to stop selling chapters and skins and start fixing bugs

It's getting out of hand. They really need to focus on fixing the bugs in this game. There are too many issues! Killer powers, addons, perks and everything else is being affected by it. It only brings a negative impact to your game.

    Why can't they do both at the same time?

    They do fixing bugs and making new dlcs.

    BHVR already do fix bugs. There's a whole bug fix selection on every patch notes.

    The folks who fix the bugs aren't the same folk who make the skins. Are you suggesting the cosmetics designers become unemployed for a few months? They need their pay cheques too

    This isn't true. If it was true, the bugs wouldn't reoccur and neither would we have so much bugs to begin with that it overwhelms dbd.

    No system is perfect so bugs will always exist. They are kind of like whack-a-mole.

    I think it goes without saying that new chapters and cosmetics are how the game stays alive. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

    DBD is a big code base so expecting it to ever be bug free is a huge ask. Not to mention that sometimes when fixing bugs, you accidentally introduce another bug and often the triggers for these bugs are not obvious until they start happening on live.

    As for bugs being reoccurred, that's likely an issue with how they handle merging code. If people are not properly keep their branches up to date with master/main then it's very easy for old bugs to reoccur when old branches are finally merged in.

    What bugs need immediate attention that requires prioritization above everything else? As far as I know, there aren't any game-breaking bugs in the game right now. Is this related to a specific killer or perks that you want to use?

    You understand the artists are making the skins and the developers are making the program?

    So doing both isn't an issue.

    Sorry, I'm not the owner of this thread but there are game breaking bugs for Twins, Knight and Nemesis. Nemesis animations and zombies, Knights power and guard, and Twins power can become disabled forever.
