Any update available for this? Another month has gone by with nothing but silence.

Though thankfully rare, I've gotten DC penalties when the server drops the entire match. Haven't noticed anything different between those vs the usual full match disconnects with no penalty. They typically don't add up to anything, but I take it as incentive that BHVR doesn't want people playing, so I log off and play…

2024 Lunar code. Go to the store and redeem the code "DRAGONYEAR". You get the grid banner and a Chinese dragon head badge.

Haven't noticed any change from before.

Something like kicking other survivors away while on hook has been needed for a while. Horrible unhook timing, survivors working with killers to farm other survivors, killers obviously camping hooks but a half-dead Feng charges in instead of finishing the last gen for the pointless unhook points greed and we both die,…

Agreed. The point is escape. Looping is annoying when playing survivor and boring when playing killer. Chases should be these grand thematic things that can mean life a death. Not "Look kids! Big Ben, Parliament..."

Downs don't equal hooks. A somewhat decent group has options to prevent it. Sabo hooks, flashlight saves, body blocking the killer and taking hits, BU+FTP, Boil Over + camping high areas, etc. Against a good group you can get a lot of downs but securing hooks can be problematic. There's also issues like hook spawns…

Do away with map offerings and the majority of that issue will evaporate.

The reporting system is a problem in itself, even when it's working. It's one of the biggest things in the entire game that needs a complete overhaul.

The badges and banners are kinda meh. Also, I don't know why they're not attached to the outfit selection slots/tabs.

This part always bugged me the most. You can chew through a totem or chest with absolute silence....except the part that actually makes noise. It'd be more useful to completely remove the hinges from chests and yeet the totems to both smash them and create a distraction.

It's not uncommon for one app to take another out when it crashes. If this happens frequently while both DBD and Discord are open, try playing for as long as you can without Discord open. If no crashes, try being active in Discord for an extended period without DBD open and see if it crashes. As always make sure you have…

Actually I rather like having a set of buttons on the right like in your image. It's just a close-up of killer butt cheek otherwise, and you can clearly see the killer is standing there watching the survivors. There's so much real estate on both sides, the top and the bottom, that buttons could be very well setup and look…

This. Not only that, a button could have been added to both the killer and survivor lobbies to switch to the other and save multiple clicks. It could show the BP bonus percentage beside it as well for both sides, so there's more info at a glance. Also, they should revert the UI change that moved ranks and pips to another…

That's kinda odd. You'd think it'd start showing up when there's only three or four kicks left. Same.

I really like the Alan Wake games, but this DLC is a pass. The new perks are meh, and I already have a ton of survivors that I don't play.

At first look I figured either a Predator rip-off, or they got the IP for Predator but then lost it before the DLC dropped so they had to do a rushed overhaul of the character. The latter seemed most likely, based on what seemed to be the unfinished nature of....really everything about her. From the mis-matched cheesy look…

You can also do a lunge swing and spin yourself. Regardless of if the game converts it to a short swing or not, it still hits them.

I very much enjoyed the first Alan Wake game and dig the character. The second game, American Nightmare, was just a small DLC wrapped up and sold as a completely different game. Wasn't bad, but there wasn't a lot to it. I want to play Alan Wake 2, but it's only on Epic and Epic sucks. If it ever goes standalone or comes to…

Yes. I attempted to use Steam's in-game browser (Chrome-based), Brave (Chrome-based), and Firefox (Mozilla-based). In all three the chat bot failed at the question of describing the person's actions. After filling in the info, neither hitting Enter or using the Arrow to proceed worked (seemed hung), and after several…

I use it out of habit, though if I recall at one point BHVR said it wasn't connected to anything. Not sure if it was once used for reporting then disconnected, or never active.

No, it's not a party game. I believe the intention was for it to be one at the start, but over time it's turned into what it is today. The closest thing it is now is a ranked pvp game without the ranking support/features. Yes, you can play it with a "party" of friends, but that doesn't make it a party game. You can go on a…

In theory, the game will by default send you to the nearest server to you. Though with how flexible their geofencing is and how loose their definition of "local" is, this can mean sending you to a server pretty far away if they need to fill a lobby. The game's been known to throw me to a server in another country across an…

I'd only consider that a possibility if all of the stuff you've earned/bought/achieved with the DLC characters comes over, then auto unlocks when you purchase the DLC. Or as someone previously said, you have the option of purchasing the DLCs (at a discounted rate, since you've already bought them once) when the transfer is…

Obvious SWF is obvious, apparently. The ability to see the survivors and what items they're bringing is a core aspect of the killer being able to setup their perks/items to help compensate and know what to expect. Being a 4v1 match, this is the balance. I don't know of a way that would prevent a killer lobby dodging while…

I agree, some kind of fun or interesting reward system would be nice to have. At this point the game is stale, and only picks up a bit of fun around events or interest around new killer launches (powers and perks) and the occasional survivor launch (perks). Otherwise it's just grinding BPs to buy stuff in the bloodweb that…

Great movie. Wouldn't mind seeing the ghosts or the family in DBD. Having the house in the game would be nice, so long as it doesn't become GoJ 2.0.

Same. Unless you're up against a noob killer, this is easily the most difficult tome in the chapter. You manage to pull it off on the killer once, they'll never let it happen again the rest of the trial. Or tunnel you out for trying. With how fast gens go and some killers able to burn through survivor teams like a…

I'd like the option to use the older, better character portraits. The ones from before the current batch of awkward high school photos and the previous extra shiny RPD ones.

Same here. Signed up a long while back, and haven't received a single one.

Thanks, I was able to get it done this way. Sucks that you have to throw the game to complete it, though. Hopefully it gets fixed soon.

Chucky isn't hard to play against, mostly just annoying. His perk Friends 'til the End needs an adjustment. A cooldown, a resistance timer, a condition, or have it randomly set someone as the Obsession every hook. So many Chucky trials I've wound up in as the Obsession with some ######### teammates that get hooked…

Same issue. Tried removing/re-adding the tome entry, restarting the game client, doing another tome entry then coming back, nothing works. Every time I get all three done in-trial, but no completion once the trial's over.

Had a Steve do this right at the start of a trial a few days ago. We both spawned into the map beside each other, already in a Huntress' lullaby. It switched to a heartbeat before either of us had a chance to move too far, so I quietly jumped in a locker to wait out the Huntress going by. The Steve took it upon himself to…

BHVR/EasyAntiCheat sometimes has nebulous definitions of cheating. Although it may be technically considered a "hack" of sorts, so long as it works on the hardware/operating system level and doesn't interfere/interact with the game code itself, there's not really any way for it to be detected by the game. Since many gaming…

They basically released the feature with one option available for the new DLC and no defaults. Everyone else can apparently eff off.

Nicely done!

...wut?

This would be great to have. There's already a lot of time wasted in the game on things like bloodweb animations, level up animation, scoreboard animations, and the multiple loading screens when you start the game that you can't turn off or auto skip. I'd like to have a minimalist setting I can turn on that turns all of…

That's unfortunate. I would've snagged it if it were on sale. If the sale on the Alien DLC wasn't so weak I'd have done the same with that. Ah well. Maybe it'll improve by the Steam spring or summer sales.

For the survivor achievements and some tome entries it requires you to escape. The triggers for those are going out through the exit gates or hatch. If those weren't used there's nothing to grant the credit. For killer achievements that require 4k, survivors DCing used to prevent those as if there's no survivor there's…

Legion and SM. Instant go next as soon as I hear their TR music. Complete waste of time trials. Winning those trials somehow feels worse. Coming soon, Trickster's being added to the list. He's already annoying as-is. After the buffs, nope. Would rather have a fun trial, even if I lose.

These days the game is a boring speedrun for both sides. Regardless of what BHVR says/believes, it's not a casual "party" game. They saw to the death of that concept with their bizarre perk reworks and lack of game upkeep. It's annoying to play, and can be almost impossible to get certain tomes done (particularly older…

No. I usually smack them then go after other survivors, and if they're not doing anything after I run into them again I'll down them to give the other survivors something to do. The issue is with the afk survivor, though, not you or the other survivors.

To be honest I'd feel kinda embarrassed to have something DBD that could be seen by others. My spouse has already been sworn to secrecy, never telling anyone that I play this game. DBD has a terrible reputation in most of the gaming circles I frequent, and I completely understand why. Plus, I don't want to give the company…

Most trial lobbies I go into give me the red bar. I can work around it to a certain extent on some killers, but other killers and survivors tend to be a mess.

Happens, frequently. If just you got disco'd, it's probably a hack. There's a newer hack that lets people kick players from a trial without having to DDoS them. If everyone got dropped from the trial, it's a server issue that BHVR finally acknowledged but so far the patches they've released for it have only helped a…
