Nurse's fov is still bugged and her first fatigue is even more bugged (it has been 8-9 month)
(NO, THIS IS NOT A NEW POST, SHE GOT A NEW BUG, HER FIRST FATIGUE IS NOW 3.2 SECONDS INSTEAD OF 2)
As a dedicated Nurse main, I have been experiencing significant bugs for the past 8-9 months, despite numerous reports submitted to the development team. These issues may not be immediately apparent to players who do not main her, but they have a profound impact on her gameplay. The bugs have made playing Nurse uncomfortable and, for some, have even caused motion sickness.
Identified Bugs:
Field of View (FOV) Reduction:
- Date of Occurrence: November 28th, 2023 (coinciding with the release of the Chucky chapter)
- Issue: The Nurse's field of view was reduced in this update, causing her hand and weapon to appear unnaturally close. This adjustment has led to significant discomfort, including headaches and motion sickness, for players who are sensitive to such changes. The reduced FOV makes it challenging to gauge distances accurately, disrupting the overall gameplay experience.
Fatigue Mechanics:
- Initial Bug: The Nurse's head snaps back abruptly during fatigue periods, which creates a jarring experience that contributes to clunky gameplay. This issue also exacerbates motion sickness, making it difficult for players to continue playing comfortably.
- Worsened Bug: On June 13th or 14th, 2024, during the anniversary event, the duration of the first fatigue phase was increased from the usual 2 seconds to approximately 3.2 seconds. This change further disrupts the gameplay flow and increases the level of discomfort experienced by players, making it harder to maintain effective control over the Nurse.
Additional Issues:
- Left Hand Animation Bug: The Nurse's left hand remains static and does not animate properly when looking up or down during a blink. Previously, this animation was smooth and natural. Currently, during a blink, her hand moves quickly for a single frame and then remains static, which impacts the visual consistency and overall immersion.
Timeline of Reports and Events:
- November 28th, 2023: Initial reports of FOV and fatigue issues were made.
- June 13th, 2024: The increase in fatigue duration was observed and reported; the FOV has remained untouched (still bugged).
Community Impact: The current state of the Nurse is particularly challenging for players who suffer from motion sickness. The issues described have made playing her increasingly difficult and uncomfortable. Despite various promises to address these bugs, they remain unresolved. This ongoing situation has led to significant frustration among the dedicated Nurse community. Players are struggling to enjoy a character they once loved, and the lack of resolution is deeply disheartening.
To the developers and community managers, it is crucial to prioritize addressing these critical bugs. The reduction in FOV and the altered fatigue mechanics are more than minor inconveniences; they represent significant issues that affect the playability and enjoyment of the Nurse. Immediate action is needed to correct these bugs to ensure a fair and enjoyable experience for all players. The Nurse is an integral part of the game for many, and these issues are undermining the character's effectiveness and the overall player experience.
Important Note: The impact on players with motion sickness is particularly severe. Some players experience significant discomfort that affects their ability to engage with the game. This matter is urgent and requires prompt action to prevent further negative experiences.

We, as Nurse mains and concerned players, respectfully urge you to address these problems in the next bugfix patch. We will continue to raise awareness and advocate for the resolution of these issues until they are fully addressed. Thank you for your attention to this matter and for your ongoing efforts to improve the game. 🙏

I did another ticket to actually ask some questions but now I brought up the Nurse, I always get the same person helping me so she said : "I noticed how you have been contacting us and tried helping us during the months and we thank you, but we don't have a date of resolution…"

Can't even play nurse correctly during the holiday… where I literally have the most free time

Thank you for remaking this post, here's hoping it'll eventually get fixed

Don't worry, after 1 years and half, BHVR will fix this bug by calling this one a FEATURE !

No problem but I don't have any hope anymore… we have been constantly reporting these bugs yet nothing is happening.
0 -
Yeah… I fixed this bug by just not playing DBD anymore.
I'll return if they eventually fix her but leaving a killer completely bugged for nearly a year isn't very encouraging in terms of what to expect in the future.
They fixed blight pallet break and immediately after broke it again, pyramid head has been an FOV mess for as long as nurse has, in one single patch all of my favorite killers became motion sickening problems, I just completely gave up playing this game because I am being forced to choose between playing killers I do not like or suffer from throbbing migraines.1 -
I play lots of killers and I agree with you, I also took a break for 1 month because of it, Nurse is the only reason why I play Dead By Daylight, I kinda play PH and I don't seem to notice anything about his FOV. PH still being bugged after 1 year makes me not have any hope for nurse.

Pyramid Heads camera shakes a lot when you drag the sword to the point of it being headache inducing, in the past it used to be extremely smooth, also if you run against a wall his hand will go change FOV constantly (something that doesnt happen with any other killer) and this is very noticeable during PH gameplay because you need to run up against walls quite often to use his ranged attack

Oh, yeah I noticed it, I don't have any headache when playing Nurse or Pyramid Head, I don't have motion sickness at all. I just feel bad for the others, knowing that PH's fov hasn't been fixed for over a year makes me have no hope left for Nurse, I don't know why they just won't fix the bugs like ??

I am happy this is acknowledged now I hope they just fix it with no issue left…

Hopefully…

well I was really hopeful that they said they fixed her left hand in the latest patch notes but turns out nothing ever changed shes still bugged…
0 -
1 year anniversary soon!
0 -
And that means they actually ignore all of her other major bugs and never touching them bc I cant explain it if they actually dont want to fix her or it is too difficult to fix for them
0 -
Not only her is bugged. Several Killers also bugged since years. They actually prefer DLCs and Cosmetics instead to fix broken Things. Like the Scratchmarks it was bugged and now they selled that as feature.

Commenting for boosting activity. I am not a nurse main at all but I am so very sorry that you’re experiencing this :(. I would love in lieu of a new content chapter some kind of Health update chapter that is solely focused on fixing bugs like these. No buffs, no perks, no new killer, no new survivor just repair work lol.
I hope these issues will be resolved soon for you. It suck’s not being able to play a favorite character. I myself can’t even load into the game right now as I keep encountering a launch error after the update that has never happened to me before.
I wish you luck in the fog and hope this post gains more traction!

Commenting to boost.
No Killer, not even the strongest most overpowered one, should have a bug that impacts the game for them, for years and years and years. That simply isn't acceptable. If it were any of my Mains I'd be livid and the fact this was left so long is dumb.

I basically stopped playing months ago, i just check now and then to see if its been fixed.
And the sole reason I stopped playing is because my two favorite killers both have ungodly bugs that make their gameplay anything but smooth, as they used to be0 -
also stopped playing/caring about dbd, I will come back if nurse gets fixed, which will probably never be, a manager working there asked me to stop doing a lot of tickets about nurse, understanding my problems, etc and that they are sorry but ofc nothing is happening
1 -
sorry for being late lol, kinda quit dbd cuz nurse is still bugged, thanks for the positivity, ppl usually hate nurse so they don’t really care, thanks <3

Sorry for being late, quite inactive, thanks for the positivity <3

It's OK friend you were just charging your blink and held it too long and had extended fatigue friend. :)

Has there been any update on this ? I would like to play DBD but im not returning until these issues are fixed.
0 -

I mean, that's what they told me a year ago, they just repeat the same ######### over and over.
