FPS Drops near exit gates
SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE: FPS’s drop when near powered Exit Gates
PLATFORM: PS4, heard about instances on PC
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW THE ISSUE OCCURRED: First match I played when new killer dropped I gave the escape through exit gate to fellow gamer and that’s how it occurred. I noticed that it is the worst when being in sphere of red light even when it’s not flashing.

When I get close to exits in general, or even when I try to open doors, my FPS drops drastically (new patch 9.2.0)
Platform: PlayStation 5
It happens on all maps, even when playing as the killer. I don't think it's an issue with my console, which I bought in December 2024.

I have this exact same issue with PS5 and it happens with both killer and survivor.
I even went so far as to place a bipod as singularity near the gate and then moved my character mid map. When I access that pod my frames still drop.

Thanks for sharing your bug reports here, folks! I've passed these details onto the team so that they can look into this. I appreciate you going the extra mile to test out the Singularity x biopod interaction with this.

Same on PC, framerate sinks and GPU temps go up by 10°c.

Is that what happened to me on the Switch? I was like choppy and laggy out of nowhere when opening a gate.

I'm having problems around the exit gates before they're powered. On PS4, on the Huntress realm maps, if I go near the exit gates the PS4 fans go LOUD. Don't get me wrong, it's normal for them to get loud during DbD these days, but I've never heard them this loud before. Ever. I'm worried the console is going to overheat and crash.
I mean it, it's bad. There's something really wrong with the game around the exit gates, even before the gates are powered. I walked by the gates when it was the beginning of the game and the fans suddenly went into super duper jet engine mode like my PS4 was about to catch fire. (And of course it's accompanied by drops in performance.)

this been happening to me as well and as many others on steam, if you check discussions section you would see people complaining about the same thing, exit gates drops the fps because the gpu usage reaches 100% and it even makes the power draw to be to its maximum, this can cause severe issues to a gpu.

If anyone experiencing this on PC can get logs when this occurs, it would be greatly appreciated!
To find them:
- Press the Windows Key + R to open the "Run" command.
- In the text box paste the following: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\DeadByDaylight\Saved\Logs
- Click "OK" - this will open your Dead by Daylight Logs folder.
- If it does not open the Dead by Daylight Logs folder, it may mean that when installing Dead by Daylight you chose to save your files somewhere else and will need to check there.
- The file called "DeadByDaylight.log" is your log file
Thank you.

idk if this is gonna work but yeah, the issue is real either way.
edit: tried to upload it but it gave me "request failed with status code 400"
edit 2: apparently it requires you to not be in the game while doing the uploading of the file, well i hope this time does it.

Hello, I also play on PS4 and I'm realizing ever since the recent bugfix I'm having frame drops during the trials and it's been unusually laggy. It was always so stable on my PS4. Are trials having frame drops for you too? It's worse near the exit gates, but now the frames are dropping mid match for me too. Are you having this problem on PS4 as well?

Thank you for the logs!

And thank you for trying to fix this🥰!
It’s bizarrely annoying every time :(0 -
Yes, same on PS4.
On PC as well. FPS are like half at the exit gate.
Had this also when i played Krasue and got from 3rd person back to 1st person.

Same on PS4.

This was an issue in the PTB. Weird it was never fixed before launch.
2 -
one would have assumed that it would be fixed in today patch, i guess not.

Are you still experiencing this since 9.2.2 was released?
1 -
Can confirm I am experiencing this every game since the 9.2.2 release.
8 -
This is happening to me on PS5 as well, massive FPS drops when next to the exit gate, open or closed.
Edit to add it’s not the time for some reason.
I had it as Ghoul on Hawkins, Singu on Midwich, but not Nostromo with Executioner. Haven’t had it happen as survivor yet but could just be I didn’t get to the exit on the affected maps.Post edited by DarKStaR350z on1 -
Came across the same issue on PC. FPS drops to 5-10 after approaching to opened gates
4 -
Can confirm after Patch it is still happening on PS4.
Just played RPD and as soon as you come close to the front Exit Gates in endgame fps went down significantly.
3 -
Also Nintendo Switch has this issue.

I don’t want to play until this issue is fixed. Even with graphics settings on the lowest, the FPS drop at the exit gate (red light) persists. I’m playing on PC Steam. This problem didn’t exist before the recent update. Please fix it!
2 -
Currently have this issue game runs smooth at 120fps and just randomly drops as soon as I get close to exit gate even if no progress has been made on the gate. The fps drops to around 70-90fps and jumps back to normal as soon as I move away.
3 -
this is still not fixed man, and its also happening in the animatronics map when you are on the kitchen area, go to the stove and it will hit your fps and gpu usage goes to full capacity.

The support team told me to run the game in compatibility mode and clear the steam cache, but it didn’t work. Lol. Guys, I think everyone should submit a ticket. That’s the only way they’ll take notice.

Can confirm this is still happening in patch 9.2.2. Seems to be at random tho

The team is working on this issue, there is no need to submit a support ticket.

It's impressive that, for almost a full month now, a big issue causing actual strain on every hardware hasn't been fixed still, and it's been what, 3 patches since then?
It's happening on Xbox Series X too.

It's unfortunately not a simple one to resolve, it's also not affecting everyone - so that always makes it much harder to find the cause. I totally get that it's frustrating and that it feels like a long time before being fixed, but when bugs are not affecting everyone it is much harder to get a repro of it, to be able to find the cause
1 -
Huh, wasn't expecting an explanation, but thanks for clearing that up!
Hopefully the cause is found soon!
2 -
Wanted to add something to this.
Just experienced this one Red Forest (Huntress map) with Singularity when I wasn’t even near the doors, but looking through a camera positioned on the exit gate wall above the switch.On PS5

I have been having this issue for the last couple months and I'm playing on a PC with a 5080 GPU. This is the only game that does this to me. Both playing killer and survivor, being near an exit gate stutters dramatically.
