The Kill Switch is a recent feature added to Dead by Daylight. It gives us the ability to temporarily switch off any items/offerings/maps/cosmetics/characters that are causing game breaking issues in the game, to ensure continued enjoyment. When the Kill Switch is used, the item/offering/cosmetic/character/map will not be able to be selected. Maps are automatically removed from rotation, and they will remain unable to be selected in Custom Games.
On this page, you can find information on what is currently disabled through the Kill Switch, in game, along with the reason why and when you can expect them to return. We also list current Known Issues here, but they remain enabled.
Kill Switch (Disabled)
- We have temporarily disabled The Houndmaster in the Bone Chill Event queue due to an exploit which caused the event snowmen to give The Houndmaster permanent haste effects in-game.
- We have temporarily disabled Baermar Uraz's Ugly Sweater cosmetic in all queues due to an issue in which the character would become completely silent during Trials. We are investigating a fix for this issue.
Known Issues (Not Disabled)
- Some players encounter a loss of short-term progression after engaging with the Bloodweb during the Bone Chill Event - Under Investigation
- Players encounter reduced game performance within the Bone Chill Event - Under Investigation
- Issue with event scoring not being credited to the player if the Mistle Toes event offering is equipped - Under Investigation
- Issue with Flashbangs and Firecrackers not emitting sound - Under Investigation
Known Issues that are marked with a targeted fix date are not guaranteed. However, we will endeavour to apply these fixes at that time.
For those Under Investigation, the issue is still being resolved and we do not have a fix date to communicate as yet.
