[PC] Disconnected from host
Platform : Steam I keep getting disconnected from host. It's happened 3 times this morning, in about 15 games. Each time, I get the "disconnected from host" error and the killer has 0 bloodpoints on the end tally screen. One time, after being disconnected, the HUD glitched with my disconnection, showing the icon of a…

PC - DbD causes my computer to lose connection
Context : My connection is going strong, my computer is on ethernet cable, my ping is around 50ms, I'm averaging an internet speed of 800Mbps when DbD is not launched. I just dusted my entire computer to make sure it wasn't a hardware issue. I have played 450+ hours of this game with the same setup over the last year,…

Any ETA on the servers getting better ?
I've never gotten disconnected from actual connection problems in 450h of play, and my ping is always under 50. I've been disconnected twice these past few days from the game lagging, and I know it's been happening to others as well. Any updates on that end ?

What perk did you discover from the random perk challenge ?
I am now enamored with Autodidact. It's just so satisfying seeing the heal progression jump from like, 50%.

Are 99'd Gates A Myth ?
Every survivor trying to learn the game hears one thing, to always leave the gate 99'd to buy more time for the teammates. However, I'm starting to wonder how good an idea that really is. Of all the games I escape, usually 99'ing did not do much, and the game would have been just as well won if the gates had been opened as…

How far along are you on Outbreak Breakout ?
I check periodically my achievements to see how far along I am, and it turns out I got my 10th gate and escape today ! How far are you guys in this achievement ? Are you actively trying for it, or doing it through playing casually ?

I was loading into a game (specifically, the animation revolving around the killer) when I alt tabbed to check a message, and the game immediately crashed. Context just in case : Killer : Legion Map : one of the Crotus Prenn ones, didn't notice which Offerings in play : 4 terrormisu and 1 escape cake

Flashlight Nerf Backfired (In A Fun Way)
A few months ago, a hard limit was put on how often a flashlight can be turned on and off, to prevent rapid clicking and epilepsy risks. This resulted in a slight flashlight nerf : 1 click = 1 charge spent. And now, in order to use the flashlight's charges efficiently... Survivor bots click by default ! Since bots are…

Make Singularity Face The Last Biopod Visited
I find it very confusing actually finding the survivors I tagged when I don't know from which biopod they were tagged. It's very difficult to keep track of where you are when you move from biopod to biopod, without extensive map knowledge or a very good sense of direction. Solutions could be either making the Singularity…

PC - Error Message After Custom Games (@#LOADOUT_CORRUPTEDDATAWARNING_TITLE)
Platform : PC Description of the issue : When a custom game is over and I'm sent back to lobby, I get this error message. I'm using bots in custom. I have never changed anything in my files / I don't use the custom icons or anything. Once I close the message, I can go on to next games. How often does this error occur :…

What Builds Do You Give Your Bots In Customs ?
I've been practicing with bots to get back into playing killer, and I love them ! For now I've been giving them : Sprint Burst / Overcome Flashbang Lightweight Prove Thyself / Overzealous Brown medkit My total absence of object permanence doesn't like Lightweight much, but it's a fairly good perk that I've seen used…

Advices On Playing Hillbilly ?
My friends are sick of me playing Legion in our custom matches so they officially banned me from being killer unless I picked another. I figured I'd wanted to try Hillbilly for a while, so I did a game with him, and even though it was Léry and I kept bumping into stuff, it was really fun getting those chainsaw downs !! So…

Merciless Storm Still Bugged
Platform : PC Description of the issue : Merciless Storm is still glitched. The last skillcheck will fail no matter what. Steps to reproduce : Play a game against a killer with Merciless Storm equipped. The one I noticed the issue with was a Plague. How often does this occur : To be tested I've gotten 2 gens to 90% in a…

Lovely joke there
Apparently there's still too many Hags out there ! Wish I could see them more often then ! "Flashlights have long since been the sole counter to the Hag's Phantasm Traps" No ? Crouching over them Setting them off with the camera tech Setting them off while Hag is carrying someone Setting them off while Hag is far away…

Patch Notes Confusing Mistake (FR)
Hello ! Didn't know where else to put this, but there's a misprint on the French patch notes. The first line is about Leverage affecting self-heals. However it does not specify Levarage by it's name (Effet de Levier). In fact, the sentence reads "A previous patch note indicated that the perk Perk didn't work on…

I am straight up cursed =(
It's no secret I love Hag. She's the first killer I saw before I even owned the game that made me go like "I want to play that one =D" And I LOVE her mori ! So.... How come every time I go against a Hag that has either a mori or Devour... THEY ALWAYS FORGET TO MORI ME ?? =( They'll mori my duo. They'll mori the solos.…

A Silly Meme Add-On Story
I had a game on Dead Dawg last week against a Trapper. Now, Trapper makes me really nervous because I don't usually watch where I'm walking, and they're rare enough that I never expect them. At one point during the game, I get caught in a really obvious trap on my way back to tap a gen. I struggle a little, but Trapper is…

French DBD Support Bot Translates Everything Literally (And It's Very Goofy)
Hello ! Didn't really know where to put this subject, since it's not really a game bug so it didn't fit into the Bug Report section. The Conversation Bot on https://support.deadbydaylight.com/hc/fr completely translates DBD's name to French, making it literally "Dead At The Light Of Day", which is very goofy. Here's what…

A Question For Fellow Killers Who Give Hatch !
Do you decide who gets it throughout the game or is it just the last one alive ? I tend to be very friendly as killer, some would say the 5th survivor, and I come across plenty of survivors who are either really cute (and I want to give them hatch), goofy (too fun to kill), or very cool/good (and I want to reward them).…

DbD Getting Age-Restricted & Demonetized On Youtube - Thoughts ?
IMO, Youtube's been screwing up since COPA and Youtube Kids came out. I'm equally curious and spooked to see what will happen if they continue to streamline their platform by pushing out any and all "violent games" content. Thoughts ?

Killer Appreciation Post
A lot of posts lately have been very accusatory and belligerent towards both roles. Killers particularly get a lot of bad rap at the moment. They're all tunneling, unfun boosted players who don't have a respectful bone in them... Yet I consistently run into really chill, really fun killers who don't deserve half the mean…

Who wrote this question ?
This is the second DbD satisfaction survey I'm answering, and I'm honestly baffled at the wordings in this question, and that it even made it to another survey after the last one. Like... This is so goofy. A cheater 25% of the time is "Rarely"? That's almost one every hour ! And how is 50% Sometimes? The last survey, this…

Aftercare (The Perk), Yay or Nay ? + Clarification Needed
Hello, I prestiged Jeff for Distortion a little while ago, and I've been kind of eyeing Aftercare since then. Potentially knowing where all your team is and what they're doing sounds really good, so I'm considering trying it out, but it always felt a little bit too constraining for me to take. However, I noticed recently…

Survivor Downed From Deep Wounds After Escaping - Knight
Hello, A friend was streaming his first games as the Knight yesterday, and came across a very fun SWF playing impossible hooking builds on Crotus Prenn Church. After a while and 1K, the survivors decided to open the gate and escape. My friend sent the Assassin after them inside the gates, and Steve got injured with deep…

Settle a friendly debate !
Hi ! I was playing survivor this evening with a friend on comms. We're very much casuals and not particularly good at surviving, but we try and get at least marginally better. I'm sorry for the whole block of text that follows, I just want to give as much context as possible since I'll be going to bed and reading eventual…

Question about Distortion
When I have Distorsion and heal my teammate vs Nurse's Calling, does the killer only see the teammate hunched over passively, or do they see no one at all ?

Is there a reason Bite The Bullet doesn't stifle your sounds when being healed ?
I've been messing around with Bite The Bullet for a few days, and it's been a bit frustrating to notice that : When healing someone, both your sounds are stifled. When healing yourself, your sounds are stifled. When being healed, you're still loud as all hell ! It does not feel very coherent to me. Is there a reason it…

Prestige Doesn't Equal Skill...
... But damn, matchmaking, you really know how to scare a baby killer ! :D For context, this was my second game ever with Clown. We got The Game and despite managing to get a couple of them on death hook, they were managing everyone's hook states and taking protection hits well (plus I was real bad at my bottles haha), so…

Wesker Grab Cancelled When Sky Billy'ing On Lery
I did not know how to describe this otherwise. I was watching my friend play a game of Wesker on Lery's Memorial Institute. As he was chasing a Kate to the upstairs part near the gen room, he used his bond to dash into the survivor, who was just in front of the hole in the ground. Wesker grabbed the Kate as they were…

Was Garden of Joy's House Gen Room Lit Up ?
Hello ! I've been playing a bit of killer yesterday and I noticed something odd. As I played a killer game on Garden of Joy, when going to check on the house gen, I found the room to be more easy to see in than I remembered as killer. The corridor is still awfully dark, but in the room itself the red light is enough to…
