Settings refuse to save despite files not being set to read-only
I'm on Windows 10. Back when you had to edit GameUserSettings.ini to cap your FPS at 120, I did this and set the file to read-only. I eventually uninstalled DBD for a while, and while it was uninstalled, BHVR added the in-game FPS cap option. I reinstalled the game sometime after that, and made sure to uncheck "read only"…

Why do people think an FOV slider for killers would be unfair?
Let's say for a moment that instead of a slider, we had Shadowborn basekit with the option to switch back to 87 FOV. That would functionally make Shadowborn basekit while still allowing people who don't like higher FOV to switch back. The amount of people who think this would be an unfair change is extremely weird to me.…

Quick and Easy FOV Slider Implementation
Just wanted to post this real quick for an easy answer to any problems that might come from adding an FOV slider. Have the FOV slider allow between 87 (current default) and 102 (current T3 Shadowborn) degrees of FOV. This will mean that no FOV that isn't already in the game will be active, which will prevent issues related…

Any updates on the IP leak issue?
I really wanna get back into playing this game, but I don't want to have to spend several dollars a month on a VPN just to make sure I don't get DDOSed.

Lery's may need a killswitch
Blight just straight up can't rush through hallways without bumping off of thin air. Not sure what causes it or how long it's been; I'd post clips but this site doesn't allow mp4s.

Quick rework for Alch Ring
Instead of having it recharge all tokens on a Lethal Rush, have it allow you to rush as soon as you have at least 2 tokens. That way it still keeps its identity as an addon that minimizes downtime between rushes, but you have to be sure you can catch them in under 5 rushes to make use of that.

Potential fix for hug tech that avoids messing with the rest of his collision
I'm not a coder so I don't know how this would work in practice, but if you're looking to fix hug tech, it might be a good idea to focus on when he's allowed to rush instead of focusing on his actual rush collision. If you make it so his vertical FOV isn't taken into account when deciding if you're allowed to rush, you…

Bring old Hillbilly back
They literally said in the nerf patch notes that they were happy with how Billy was, but decided to nerf him anyway. NOBODY asked for a nerf to his basekit; only his stupid addons (mainly charge time/carburetor). EVERYONE was unhappy with the nerf. EVERYONE wanted old Billy back. And now, after the nerf, there are maybe 4…

FOV Slider for Killers - it's about accessibility, not balance
I don't want this to come across as whiny so I'll try to keep it short, but I really think DBD just needs an FOV slider and Shadowborn needs a rework. We don't need some weird 360-degree fisheye effect like those DOOM mods, we just need to be able to play certain killers without getting motion sickness. Shadowborn does…

Patrick appreciation post
I'm sure everyone remembers the Q&A. Pretty hard to forget something like that, especially with the added Twitch cosmetic thing to Dowsey. But it feels like this year, with Patrick as lead game dev, we're getting actually good and meaningful balance changes to DBD. Legion and Ghostface not only got buffed, BHVR listened to…

How will the new Haemorrhage interact with Solidarity?
Haemorrhage: Whenever you are not healing yourself, your healing progress regresses by 7% per second. Solidarity: When injured, healing another Survivor without using a Med-Kit also heals you with a Conversion rate of 40/45/50%. Does healing another survivor with Solidarity equipped count as self-healing? Edit: Also, how…

The Problem With Dead Hard
...is that it's strong no matter whose hands it's in. I'd like to think at this point "just bait it out" is slowly fading out of the discussion around DH, because we all know at this point you can't bait out a Dead Hard for distance. If you're in a position to bait out DH, they're not using DH well. The problem is that DH…

I think Pig is bugged somehow
I've gotten 2 speedhackusations in the past 3 days playing her, and the survivors were telling me I was moving super fast while crouched despite not having John's Medical File. Apparently I was also grabbing and M1ing while crouched (which never happened on my screen). I thought the first batch was just salty and didn't…

Oceania servers crashed?
I'm playing in the Oceania region, and after a more-than-5-minute (can't put greater than sign or it makes the line a block quote) killer queue, it connects me to a game with 280 ping. Did the Oceania server crash or something? Is the hamster on the wheel okay? Have you been feeding him enough?

Our team will be happy to read these!
No. No, you won't. You won't read these. This patch and its associated hotfixes have been an utter dumpster fire. BHVR, it feels like you live by "if it ain't broke, then break it". Not only is it getting worse and worse in terms of performance with every new update, even your intentional balance decisions or "bug fixes"…

Please give us old Freddy back
Or at least make a killer with a similar power to what he had. I miss old Freddy so much, and the new one got stale pretty quickly.

Quad iridescent doesn't actually give any rank progress
I've been playing Blight recently, and since he's really good at pipping I've been getting a lot of quad iris. I've gotten three in a row, and for some reason, I can't progress past rank 4 1 pip. It just won't add any progress.

An FOV slider would make this game much better
Before everyone tells me "just use Shadowborn", I get motion sick while playing Killer and this is not just a me problem. So telling me to just run Shadowborn is like tying colourblind settings to a perk, then telling colourblind people to "just run that". We have colourblind settings now (thank you!), so I think having an…

Giving Pig Ghostface's Crouch
The main issue with Pig's ambush is that you can simply run away. Sure, you can theoretically predict it and uncrouch, but this relies on there not being another tile even remotely close by. It's also just not as fun as landing a dash. So why not just let Pig crouch instantly, like Ghostface? It wouldn't make her broken in…

Server-sided movement = some people physically cannot play the game
Heya, I quit DBD for a few months, then came back and realized that literally every movement I make has a 2-second delay. It takes me from five to ten seconds to stop working on a gen. I live in NZ; the closest server is Australia and even there I have 100-150 ping. I'm on PC. To reproduce this bug, buy a plane ticket, fly…

Insidious Rework Idea
Make it mute all noises emanated by the Killer by 50/75/100%. So no footsteps or breathing. Demo can stealth now, and Demo buffs are the only things that truly matter in this game. (Might sound OP, but we still have sight to rely on. Or Spine Chill.)

Make Pig's Ambush More Spontaneous (solutions at the bottom of the post)
Before I say this, no, I don't think Pig is bad. As someone who used to main Pig, one of the things that frustrated me the most was seeing a survivor running to a different tile when I tried to dash. Ambushing at loops is arguably one of the most satisfying things to pull off as a Pig, because it feels like something that…

Should Killers be given an FOV slider?
Hello, I am here to discuss the concept of an FOV slider for Killers, and possible rework ideas for Shadowborn. I believe that an FOV slider would enhance Killer experience and make the game more fun without becoming unfair, and I am far from the first one to ask for this change. I recall a dev stream in which one of the…

Wraith is bugged again
His cloaked speed, at least at base, is the exact same speed as his uncloaked speed. He's 115% ms in both. It also feels much slower to uncloak.

Suggestion: Remove the hurtbox of survivors on hooks
Quick TL;DR: Don't remove the hitbox, just the ability for killers to go through with a full swing + blade wipe animation on hooked survivors. This will solve the issue of swinging through a rescuer to somehow hit the hooked survivor, reducing frustration on the killer's side. It will also mean that killers can't BM hooked…

Introducing the DBD Political Compass! | Where do YOU stand?
A quick and easy way to tell the devs the overall state of the game! Do you think DBD is fair? Is it unfair? If it's unfair, who does it favour more?

Quick and Easy Fix for Wraith
I posted about this a couple months ago and didn't really get a response, so instead of reviving the post, I'll just make another one.

A Killer Main's POV on the Ruin Changes
Hi, so the forums are on ######### fire at the moment because of this Ruin change. I honestly don't think it's that bad, especially if it applies Surveillance (which I honestly think would be a good idea, if it's staying as a hex perk). There's just one thing I think should be changed: I do not believe this new Ruin should…

An addon to allow Freddy players to play as old Freddy

Please increase Wraith's uncloaking speed boost to 1.5 seconds, like old Windstorm - Blood
I think it'd be a nice way to give Wraith a much-needed buff, and give him a mindgame similar to Pig's dash around loops: cloak, uncloak and lunge which way you think they're gonna go.

"I got hit by DS after hooking 2 other survivors" (not as stupid as my spirit changes, I promise)
We've all been there. DS is certainly a much more balanced perk than it was before. It does its job of anti-tunnelling to some degree, and theoretically, if it the killer plays fair then it's among the most healthy perks for the game. However, as the title has already implied, it often does more. Not only is it entirely…

Making Spirit more fun, while keeping her a top tier killer
Okay. Here's the deal. Spirit just isn't very healthy for the game. As for whether or not she's balanced, I personally don't think she's overpowered. However, there are two main issues that come with Spirit. 1) She isn't hard to play. A top tier killer like Spirit should naturally be hard to learn, like Nurse, or Hag, or…
