Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

    I have the same issue as you. I think it just puts you into whatever server is available to cut down on queue times. Every single match today for me was ping over 140.

    So far so good. Thankfully.

    I’m sitting at around 165 ping consistently, even though I’m right next to the server. Normally, I’m between 30–45 ping, so it really seems like the servers are completely cooked right now. On top of that, after the newest DLC dropped, my CPU usage has shot up to 80% while in-game, which is way higher than usual. It honestly feels like they’ve completely killed the optimization with this update. Anyone else experiencing higher-than-normal CPU usage or unusual performance issues?

    I just can't play this mode normally, on survs I get hits for meters, on killers I have rubberbanding bugs
    The eternal sign that I have a yellow ping, I can't imagine what horror is happening for people who have an even higher ping on these ######### servers

    Even thou pings seem to be mostly normal compared to 1v4, killers hit through absolutely everything and skill shots like Nemesis or Wesker feel really hard to dodge since you cant really predict their actions normally due to lag. Getting a bit annoying since its literally every single game and not something every now and then like it usually is.

    I seem to remember last 2v8 mode was on BHVR’s extra-jank servers. They must have done the same thing this time around. I’ve been getting ping spikes as well, even though I’m on a very fast hardwired connection not too far from local servers.

    Not just 2v8. I'm always getting put on west or the killer is on west when I'm east. That really needs to be fixed

    Conection can be problematic but I hve good ping only one server I got as killer after 33 minutes of waiting with 100 ms on billy it was terrible but normaly I have same ping maybe little higher then usualy when playing 1v4.
    I have other problem when escapist class uses power( sprint burst) I get huge frame drops for no reason, this didnt happen in 2v8 before.

    Yes and I hate it. I wait so long for this game mode and I only have a few days to play it cuz I’m leaving AND I CANT EVEN PLAY A FEW MATCHES. The second I log on I can barely be in Home Screen and god forbid I play a game I’m at a constant 300-400ping. I legit can’t move and look around no matter how low any settings are. And I see everyone being able to play normally and it pisses me the ######### off. Seconds after I go into a game I get a glitchy screen and turns out it’s a dbd bug crash report that’s popping up as a tab 🙄
