    Oh god no not another engine update. The last time they did that they messed up everything.

    Why am I not surprised.

    Now the normal game is going to look so bright it's like you're always in Freddy Dreamworld, with similar stuttering performance, and we won't have sound at all Survivors will hear Killer footsteps and breathing no matter where they are on map, and Killer will be deaf and can't hear squat.

    I bet that's exactly how their current build of the game is right now, which is why they can't release it.

    Dude, chill.

    It's comments like this that cause devs to stop caring about their community. Why try your best to make a game, just to listen to people trash talk your efforts?

    Chill.

    I'll believe it when I see it.

    I get that I'm being extremely negative, but I can't help it when they utterly trashed the game the last time they did their engine update.

    I'm sure you remember that fateful day I think it was in November or December last year. That update utterly destroyed this game.

    And we all told them to revert but they wouldn't listen. Many of the issues from that time took half a year to resolve. Some of the problems that update caused are still in the game today.

    The ONLY thing I'm hoping for with their fixes for the engine update is to maintain sounds at their current levels or better. Previously whenever they perform a major update to the engine, they always screw up the sounds (Killers can't hear survivors or Generators around walls, Survivors can't hear Killers sneaking up on them, Chase/injured music too loud. etc.), and the last time this happened it took the Devs 5 months to get the sounds to the levels they are currently at, which are decent but not as good as they were before. I REALLY am not looking forward to waiting another 5 months for them to get it right, and am hoping that they've learned enough from their previous mistakes that this will be a priority this time. The recent PTB had these issues again, which made me and everyone else cringe with bad memories, and I'm keeping my fingers x'd that they are putting in effort to fix it this time before it goes live.

    I hope sounds won't get screwed up as it happened with every engine update.

    We can only hope they bring back old sounds and lighting. Personally, everything just felt better back then when it comes to the atmosphere. The sounds now sound a little bit rough than compared to before.

    They fudged up the sounds so bad, after the Killer hooks someone the background music doesn’t play until you carry or chase someone.

    Fully agree on bringing back the darker lighting. This game needs that dark atmosphere again BADLY. I'm so over the bright cartoonish look of everything now.

    I'd rather see all bugs reverted first

    Lol engine update.

    No wonder the game is breaking on their side.

    I blame all the people who said they loved the new bright look.

    I was condemning and against it all the way but not too many people agreed. Well, now we're stuck with this garishly bad lighting and it doesn't look like BHVR is interested in bringing back the old lighting.

    The sounds were fine 1 time last year during the new years event if it was around there that would be perfect
