OLED Friendly HUD Options
Can we get OLED Friendly HUD Options? There's a great option in some other games, which they usually call dynamic HUD. In one of the games, only elements that are important or active at that moment appear, and the way that would work in DbD is that, for example, if you're not injured, the Iron Will perk icon would not be…

Will DbD get PS5 Pro Enhancements?
For those unfamiliar, Sony has announced PS5 Pro, a new mid-gen upgrade that launches in November. I'm curious if Dead by Daylight will be getting a PS5 Pro upgrade, and if so, what those enhancements will be. I know the unfortunate history regarding PS4 Pro and Xbox One X; the developers announced support for those…

Is cross-progression merging everything into one Bvhr Acct?
Is DbD permanently merging progress across synced platforms into your Bvhr Account or temporarily merging progress based on existing links? Am I free to remove platform accounts from my Bvhr Account and retain the progress?
-
What happened to current-gen upgrades for the game?
In 2020, the devs promised Ray Tracing, haptics, improved lighting, realistic blood, and other visual upgrades. Have they talked about it since? I hope this isn't like the promised PS4 Pro/Xbox One X upgrades that never materialized.
-
Will DbD ever punish laggy Killers?
So far the answer has been a resounding no! Why are the devs so afraid of implementing server authority for hits? Or some other approach other than "hits being handled on the killer's end?" This is the only game I play that rewards lag in 2024!

Stop giving me killers thousands of miles away from my region!
I'll wait for a killer within my region, I don't want killers in Thailand that have a tremendous latency advantage over me. This is the second match today where my killer was an ocean away from me. We had a Wesker in Thailand and it was brutal, not fun and completely unacceptable. The advantage that Wesker had over…
-
Would adding a compass be problematic?
I was wondering what everyone thinks about adding a compass to the game. Is it something the devs have ever considered? I feel like it would help with communicating, but maybe it would be problematic for balance? I can't think of any problems but I'm sure someone can enlighten me. Sometimes it's just a pain trying to tell…
-
When are we having a conversation about exit gate placement?
This is a big pain point in the game. The EGC often feels hopeless. There should never be a circumstance where The Killer can watch both gates with little to no effort and movement. The gates need some placement changes, or obstacles around the exit gate or limit the viewing distance of the indication lights on them. Make…
-
Is there some kind of exploit where The Killer can see your aura in perpetuity?
Just in a match against The Blight, who is playing with anonymous mode activated. I'm running Smash Hit and Parental Guidance, got a hit and was able to lose LOS and reach a random room in Leary's. He knew exactly where to go! Perhaps it was a good guess, so I don't think too much of it. Two of my friends are running…
-
Can we get Vault Validation and why is Favor The Killer still a thing?
The conversation is often about fairness, but the principal network philosophy is inherently unfair to Survivors. It is referred to as Favor The Killer. In other words, hits are handled on The Killer's end (even with Dedicated Servers). Hit Validation only kicks in at a very generous threshold - last I checked, it was 300…

Some clarity on exclusives such as "Time-limited" and "Deep Rift" items?
I have been out of the loop, so confused with these terms and what they mean?! Time-limited means never returning? Deep Rift has items beyond level 70 that will never return? As in forever never returning exclusives? It is definitively never returning or more word games that imply that but could return? Thanks.
-
There's no cross-progression?
That's so disappointing. I just got my first Xbox and was looking forward to playing DBD (with my PSN progress/cosmetics) on Xbox! I understand not getting paid DLCs, but I wish I could access my progress and free Survivors from my account. This is the only online game I play that lacks cross-progression!
-
Wrathful Well Charm?
I completely forgot about this, but has the acquisition method been revealed yet? I still don't have it and wondered. I searched but only found old topics where people speculated and didn't see anything official. Thanks.
-
Any pictures of the new icons for ping and packet loss?
Any pictures of what this looks like exactly? Also I'm confused so we'll be able to see when the killer is having issues or just other survivors? I've read it but for some reason it's just not clicking lol 😆
-
Reassurance Feedback that addresses "abuse" concerns from the devs!
@ElleGreen suggested I post this, and so here goes. The devs have recently identified that they are concerned with abuse potential concerning keeping a Survivor on the hook in perpetuity against their will. I'm not convinced this was the primary motivator for the nerf. So I propose a solution that addresses this scenario.…
-
Must survivors really forever cry using the same 3 second clip?
It's one of the most annoying things to hear, your survivor on loop, crying and whining over and over and over non-stop. I wish you could just suppress it for yourself or lower the volume. It's super annoying.

So how does Guardian work now with base kit? BT?
I used to run that perk a lot but don't understand what it does now. How does it work with and without BT? Thank you.

Devs, please update the PS5 wallpaper and add music!
The PS5 version of the game is still using the old wallpaper and there's no music. It's strange because the PS4 version has the theme music when you hover over the game tile and uses the new wallpaper design. For those wondering, the game tile is the square artwork you click on the PlayStation menu to load up the game. The…

Do you retain DS/OTR if you're rescued before the fifth but get downed/hit after it is completed?

PSA: Go finish old Killer Challenges with ease!
Now that playing Killer is much easier; this is a great time to finish old Tome challenges you may have skipped, especially on Killer's you dislike playing as. It's much easier to play Killer now, especially with the periodic DCs and suicides, so it's a great time to revisit old Tome challenges and finish them.
-
So there's no way to get a permanent T3 version of Steve and Nancy Perks?
I understand they're now part of the generic pool, however, those of us with the DLC have the old icons and designation that they are, in fact perks attached to a specific survivor. With that said, can't they come up with a way to recognize the DLC and grant us the tier 3 version instead of a permanent tier 1 version? Or…

How many BPs to go from 40-50?
Does anyone know a rough estimate? Thanks.

What happens with Teachables going forward?
What happens going forward if we have unlocked all Teachables but didn't Prestige someone? Does the game consider it as though you did P3 and auto-credit those T3 perks to new characters going forward, or do we have to P3 everyone to achieve that? Thanks. Example: Laurie is not Prestige however I have her three Teachables…
-
So PlayStation is not getting the new game tile?
On PlayStation the game tile is the square artwork on the menu that you click to load up the game. I noticed on PS4 the game tile features the new artwork, and today on PlayStation 5 we finally got the new artwork and load screen at the start but the game tile itself is still the old trapper one. Seems weird, are we not…

Doctor skill check circle changes?
Just had a game with doctor and the skill check circle would teleport from their initial position to a new location. I've never seen this happen before. Example, the skill check circle will initially appear at 3 o'clock and then teleport to 10 o'clock. Sometimes this transition occurs as the hand is over the success zone…

Has the Wrathful Well Charm issue been corrected?
I can't locate the big topic about it, so I wanted to ask. If it has, are the conditions to get it known yet? Thanks.

PS5 Game Tile & Wallpaper Suggestions
For those who don't know, the game tile is the square icon that represents the game on the main menu on PS5. The wallpaper is the background image when you're hovered over the specific game tile. My suggest is to update both, the background should use the new artwork recently designed by your team. The game tile itself…

Can we pls get a new load screen?
I love the event ones; the Tiger is fantastic. Please create a more extraordinary default load screen for the game. The existing black one is boring.
-
Does anyone know the ping threshold for Hit Validation to kick in?
I am not referring to grabs or pallet hits. I played killer tonight using a mobile hotspot with a ping of 270-335 ms, and none of my hits were invalidated. I noticed that if I swung near a vault, even when the Survivor had successfully cleared it on MY screen that the hit still prevailed. I'm guessing the threshold is…

List of the event cosmetics?
Is there an official list of everything to acquire? I was looking around the forums. I can't find an official post about it. Thanks.
-
Devs can you please HIDE the Grades OR do a better job explaining via official channels?
There's no point in seeing Grades since it's just a monthly level-up. It creates so much confusion among players; I happen to be friends with two such people. They always complain about fairness regarding "red rank killers," and I repeatedly tell them it's grades, etc., but they still think red = high skill. You see it…

Realm Beyond: When can we expect the Next-Gen Enhancements to launch?
I mean 120 FPS, Ray Tracing, haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and 3D audio. The devs indicated sometime after the PS5/XSX launch in 2020; they intended to expand on advanced visuals for the next-gen (now current-gen) consoles and PC next year. Is it still happening? And what happened to the other features of Realm…
-
Can you split Challenges into Killer OR Survivor?
A challenge says drop 20 or damage 20 pallets; this provided great flexibility in deciding whether to complete this as Killer or Survivor or both. I would love to see this approach expanded to more or all challenges. Except, of course, the particular role ones but the majority should be chosen. I know some will argue that…

Any special offers/charms for logging or playing today?
I haven't played in a few days and wanted to ensure there was nothing special for today. Thanks for the help.

Why is Nea's new Halloween outfit not classified as an Event Outfit?
Unless I'm missing something, I thought all of the Halloween outfits were classified as event with the golden background?

How do the free Halloween skins work?
I remember some situation last year where people purchased skins in the shop and then they have the option to get them free afterwards. I want to buy the new Nea but also don't want to deal with it becoming free in the event. Does anyone know how the event works? Is it going to be like last time we earn coins and we can…

Can anyone access their DLC on PS5?
I have everything on PS4 and followed the upgrade steps to acquire the digital PS5 copy of the game. however none of my DLCs have carried over. They don't have a lock on them, they are just grayed out and I can't select any of them. I've already tried restoring licenses but there's nothing else to do. Is this a known issue…
-
Is the server still the authority on pallet stuns?
The change felt great that first week but slowly It started to creep back to where it was before the change. Now it feels like the servers are no longer the judge and it's back to killer client side authority. Despite having a ping of 22, I'm seeing tons of fake hits beyond the 50% threshold for the pallet drop.
-
Can the devs crank up Hit-Validation a bit?
It's great not to get hit by The Killer at 1000 ms ping, but the 400 ping killers are equally unfun. Behaviour is very conservative on validation measures, and the servers still favor The Killer too greatly IMO. I don't expect a zero-latency experience, but I expect a better implementation of Server Side Hit Validation.…

The Clown needs a buff!
The Clown needs a passive ability: farting. Periodically The Clown will fart (with sound effects) and leave behind a green mist in the air; Survivors are afflicted with a status effect if they remain in the gas for too long.

Endgame Collapse | What do the devs think of it?
During summer 2019, the devs promised to revisit the EGC in the future; they wanted to give it some months to see whether they should tweak it. Afaik they last mentioned the balance of EGC in Summer 2020, where the discussion was about gate spawns and hatch? It's been 2.5 years, any discussions on it? I'm curious if it's…

Mysterious hits vs The Nurse.
Crude MS Paint job of Coldwind Farms vs. The Nurse. So I just rescued someone off the Hook and took the green path along the wall; the Nurse blinks to the Generator and hits it, but then 1.5s later, I get struck even though I was NEVER near the Generator at any point. I reach the downed pallet and wait for a second, she…

Inheritance: Survivor Perk Suggestion!
Upon your Sacrifice or death, the remaining Survivors in the trial inherit an evenly distributed increase to their Action speeds for Healing, Sabotaging, Repairing, Unhooking, Cleansing, Opening, and Unlocking actions for a limited duration after your death. The percentage and time aren't determined. The basic idea is not…

So why aren't the Prestige Bloodied Pieces consider an Outfit?
After acquiring all three pieces, it should also appear as one outfit option under Customization>Outfits. Is there a reason this isn't the case?

Cosmetic Sale on ST the lowest price until 11/18?
Is the cosmetic sale starting tomorrow the lowest price between now and the end of ST? I found it strange that the sale ends on 9/8, leaving room for an even lower sale closer to the end.

Why is the actual border to escape deeper in the exit gate area?
I think it's been like this for a month or so, but the border to cross over to successfully escape is deeper in the exit. Is this intentional, why was this change implemented? It seems something that provides great benefit for The Killer.
