Is DbD not using their GPU for anyone else?
Ever since the last update, dbd is not using my gpu. I first noticed this when I was using a finisher mori, and the killer's model became all contorted. Since then I've been monitoring and trying to solve this issue. I've tried reinstalling my gpu drivers, I've scanned all my system files, I've even uninstalled and reinstalled dbd, yet this issue still persists.
I've tried reaching out to the support team, but the copy-paste template response I got back did not even remotely come close to capturing the issue I described to them.
Has anyone else on PC had this issue in the past week or so?

if you are using Nvidia GPU, check Nvidia control panel > Manage 3D settings > Program Settings > Select Dead by Daylight from the programs list > Select high-performance Nvidia processor

I did try this, but unfortunately it didn't make a difference. I also tried the windows graphics settings which does the same thing, and that did not fix my issue either.

What exactly do you mean by that? Gpu usage percentage is lower than before?

DbD isn't reporting that my GPU is being used when I check task manager when previously it used to. You can filter GPU utilization and GPU engine, and dbd's process is saying nothing. I installed MSI afterburner to further explore the issue. It says that my GPU utilization was around 50% total with dbd running, while my task manager was reporting around 4% total (for processes other than dbd). That being said, none of that explains why during mori animations, the killer models contort in ways not intended.

I am having the same problem and i dont understand why, Nvidia overlay is the only thing i am going off when playing DBD at the moment because of that i know that my GPU is actually working and that this issue is only with DBD i have tested 20 other games to make sure and the out come is the same so its something to do with DBD
If you have had any luck with finding a fix please let me know!

I haven't found a fix yet. I believe this is somehow an issue with the game itself because it is using my GPU, it just isn't reporting as such to the task manager.
