new 2v8 “seen” status effect noise way too loud
that’s pretty much it. i’m not sure about other platforms, but on the switch, the noise that plays when you’re “seen” as survivor is incredibly loud and drowns out all other sounds, which is kind of a nerf in a game that relies on being able to hear what’s happening around you.

Wicked Aura Reading Disabling During Endgame
SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE: When using Sable Ward’s perk, Wicked, the survivor can no longer see the killer’s aura for 20 seconds after being unhooked during the endgame collapse. PLATFORM: Switch STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW THE ISSUE OCCURED: Be unhooked during endgame collapse while using the perk Wicked.

Did Wraith get a shadow buff to his ambient noise along with Dredge?
Just want to see if anyone noticed this, and can confirm if it is a little buff or a bug lmao. I swear his gargled breathing used to be a lot louder before dredge got its noise buffed.

SWITCH - Game disconnecting from server when idling in survivor menu for more than a few minutes.
When idling in the survivor lobby for more than a few minutes, the game will boot me to the title screen and show a network error. I’ve tested my connection each time and nothing is unusual, and I don’t have this issue with other online games on the switch (the switch is also not in sleep mode when this happens). This is…

Gen Speeds Make Playing Killer In Lights Out Mind-Numbingly Boring
If you have the audacity to chase a survivor for more than 20 seconds you basically forfeit the game. This is just the existing problem of gens being the only objective but on steroids. It’s like the overbrine gen-kicking meta all over again but without the benefit of overbrine. Finishing the killer archive challenges for…

Could We Get A Knock Out Rework?
I don’t know if there’s something in the water or if someone made a video or what, but I’ve been getting a ton of killers lately who use knock out solely to slug everyone and refuse to hook. Tbh we need less perks that encourage this playstyle because it is by far the most infuriating thing to play against, especially in…

The Dark Lord should have an audio cue for his ranged fire attack
It’s pretty much my one and only gripe about playing against him. Huntress & Pyramid Head both have audio cues for when they’re winding up their ranged attacks. Even Deathslinger has an audio cue for when you’re in his sights. Dracula being basically silent when he’s charging his ranged attack makes it much more difficult…

SWITCH - Nemesis Whip Hitting Through Waist-High Cover & Windows Even When Crouching
What it says on the tin. You basically can’t avoid his whip this way right now, which makes him very annoying to go against.

Were-Elk’s Lullaby Is Way Too Loud
since every other huntress in 2v8 wears this skin, this has been very annoying to play against. it will literally sound like he’s on top of you when he’s still a good 10 meters away, which makes it difficult to gauge his location, especially when you don’t have line-of-sight. just an overall irritating skin to play…

2v8 is great… except for the lag.
this game mode has featured some of the laggiest hits i’ve seen in a while. and i play on switch, so i’m used to laggy hits, but this is next level. if i get hit with another huntress hatchet THROUGH a wall i’m gonna tear a phone book in half. please expand the servers for this game mode i’m begging.

SWITCH - You can see The Wraith’s shadow when he’s cloaked (Survivor POV)
As survivor, you can see the circular shadow at wraith’s feet while he’s cloaked. It makes it super obvious where he is visually, especially on maps with more dynamic lighting.
-
SWITCH - Wraith Cannot Interact With Event Items While Cloaked
What it says on the tin. He also can’t use invitation powers while cloaked. I’m assuming this is a bug because I don’t believe this was a thing last year (or for any event). I haven’t tested with Onryo so if anyone can chime in if she has a similar issue that’d be great!

Maps/Visuals on Switch Are Too Dark
DbD has always been too dark on the Nintendo Switch, and darker still compared to the other console versions. Recently, since the All Things Wicked chapter released, it seems to have somehow gotten darker. Not sure if this is a bug or due to a minor graphical update. Maybe I just need to get my eyes checked.
-
SWITCH - Killer and Hex Auras Not Appearing
A few of the situations in which auras should appear are not showing for survivor. So far, I’ve noticed the perk Dark Sense does not show the killer’s aura when it activates, and the totems for Hex: Plaything and NOED are not having their auras revealed. This is without being effected by Blindness.

SWITCH - Clown Intoxication on Different Floors
For example: If you’re in the basement and Clown breaks a pink bottle on the floor above you, you won’t see the pink gas but will still scream and become intoxicated. Not sure if this works on multiple floors outside of basement.

SWITCH - Stuttering & Freezing During Killer/Survivor Interaction
Since the anniversary chapter, there have been consistent moments of stuttering & freezing during chases. It happens so often that it can actively ruin a match as the screen will momentarily freeze when I’m about to swing at a survivor or during crucial moments in chase with a killer. The Switch needs some kind of…

Any tips for using the flashlight on Switch?
I’m honestly surprised this hasn’t been discussed more. In a nutshell, the flashlight controls on Switch are extremely janky. The sensitivity seems to be cranked up to such an obscene degree that even barely touching the joystick will cause your flashlight beam to fly off into space. You basically can’t aim while using the…

Mid-Chapter Update is Great for Killers and SWFs, Miserable for Solo Queue
I don't think I've ever been as miserable playing solo queue as I have after this mid-chapter patch. The lack of communication creates more chaos than usual now that healing has been made much more difficult. Solo queue desperately needs some sort of communication buff, either basekit kindred/bond/empathy/some sort of…

Gas Heaven Feels Worse Somehow
Gas Heaven feels like a slog as killer, but for a new reason that has nothing to do with impossibly long car walls. It feels like there’s way too many pallets, and on that note, pallet loops feel way too close together. I don’t know if it’s because I haven’t played enough on this map yet, but it feels as tedious as Borgo…

SWITCH - Performance plummets on reworked maps.
The reworked maps are very poorly optimized for switch. Frame drops are especially bad in the new Skull Merchant camp in Shelter Woods. I can barely get a hit on anyone as killer in chase inside the camp due to frame drops.

Dead Hard Basically Unusable Above 50 Ping
It’s just very much a bummer that console players or anyone with less-than-perfect internet speed can’t use this (frankly still very good!) perk. The killer won’t even be in the swinging animation, yet pressing dead hard will still send you straight to the ground regardless. It reminds me of the “exhausted on the ground”…

SWITCH - Performance & Optimization Issues Since 6.5.0
Every once in a while there will be a major update or patch that causes performance on the Switch to take a hit. The game has actually been running pretty smoothly on Switch for the past six months or so, but since the 6.5.0 update, the performance issues have come back (general stuttering—especially in chase, frame…

SWITCH - Sound cutting out & game freezing randomly.
The game freezing up on the Switch isn’t a new issue, but I’ve noticed it happening more frequently since the Haunted by Daylight update. A new issue is the sound randomly cutting out (this also started after the Haunted by Daylight update). At first I thought it was my headset or the Switch itself, but it’s in fact the…

SWITCH - Randomly Getting Kicked From Lobby Since Halloween Update
Basically just that. I’ve been repeatedly getting kicked from lobby back to the menu with the message “An Unknown Error Occurred” ever since the Haunted by Daylight update went live. Restarting the game doesn’t seem to help. I’ve barely been able to play because of this. :/

SWITCH - Bloodweb Error Eating BP
This is the second time something like this has happened within the past month, and it doesn’t happen very frequently, but it’s somewhat frustrating. I recently leveled up Jane from lvl 15 to lvl 20, but as soon as she got to lvl 20, an error popped up on screen saying there was a problem updating the bloodweb. The game…

Can't Access the Hooked on You Jake Skin Code
I was wondering if anyone else ran into this problem. I followed the directions to log in & link my steam account so I could access the code for the Surfer Jake skin, but the "redeem code" button simply isn't there. See below: It's just straight-up gone lol. I should mention I already installed the game once on a VM when I…

Learning Blight on Switch for Archive, Oh God Please Help
Playing DbD on Switch is a bit more jank than other consoles due to the framerate cap & a few other things (don’t even get me started on flashlights). This makes learning already hard-to-play killers harder, and Blight is no exception. Have any other Switch players managed to git gud on Blight? If so, how? What witchcraft…

I’m Constantly Getting Paired Against SWF As Killer! Help!
hey guys, i just wanted to vent about some game mechanics & see if y’all had any advice on how to better deal with them. so, typically i play as both survivor & killer, with a slight bias towards survivor, but recently i’ve lost pretty much all interest in playing killer due to the frequency in which i get paired with SWF.…

SWITCH - Killer Freezes While Breaking Pallet
I was playing as Doctor on Gas Heaven & had just finished a chase where I hit someone as they were vaulting a pallet. When I tried to break the pallet, it jittered slightly, then I couldn’t move. My game didn’t freeze or crash, as the survivors could still complete the gens & escape, I was just frozen in place for the rest…

What instrument is used in Joey’s Mixtape?
I’m loving the legion changes so far, especially with their new chase theme, but I can’t really tell what Joey’s main instrument is in his mixtape. Obviously Julie & Susie have electric guitars, and Frank has extra percussion, but Joey’s almost sounds like a synthesizer? But also might be another guitar? Music nerds please…

SWITCH - Hatch Spawn With Two Survivors Left
I was playing against a Pinhead on Fractured Cowshed, when I noticed that the hatch (or what might be a placeholder for the hatch spawn) spawned at shack when me & another survivor were still alive. Photo below: The (unopen) hatch spawned outside the window, in the patch of grass above Adam’s shoulder.

SWITCH - Performance Issues Since Latest Patch
Since the most recent bugfix patch (5.6.1) there have been some performance issues as both survivor and killer with the characters' position stuttering and jumping around (ping has been fairly low & stable during these instances). For example: As survivor, even when standing still, my character will occasionally teleport…

Console [Cross-Play On] - First Teammate DCing Kicks Everyone From Match
I’ve come across this issue a few times playing as survivor, where a teammate will disconnect after a full minute has passed within the match, but everyone else in the match will also be forcefully disconnected because, for whatever reason, the game interprets the initial disconnect happening while the match is still…

Console - Switch: Survivor Jumping/Jittering Around During Chase
While playing survivor, my character’s position will randomly teleport & jump around when the killer is nearby, causing my character to get hung up on doorways, walls, and other obstacles during chase. This has been happening pretty much every single match since the latest patch, and makes the survivor experience nearly…

Console - Switch: Characters Freezing/Teleporting During Pallet Drops/Stuns
This seems to have begun after the Portrait of a Murder release. Occasionally, while playing survivor during chase, I will press the “drop pallet” button, only for my character to freeze in place for about 1-2 seconds, after which I will either get hit through the pallet, or, if the stun is registered, will cause the…

Console - Lag Spikes & Teleporting During Chase
Doesn’t seem to be triggered by any one character or map, only that this happens during most killer/survivor interactions. I’ve done connection tests whenever this happens & my internet seems to be stable. I know this has been an issue on other consoles for more than a few weeks, but I play on Switch & as far as I can…

16 Charge Medkits Still Only Heal to 99%
Brown medkits & green medkits, even with add-ons, still only heal to 99% more than half of the time. This bug has been present for about two months now, and nothing has been done to fix it. It’s become extremely irritating as there have been so many instances where I could’ve held a longer chase, or might not have been…

Switch - Game Crashing Bug (Specific Instance)
Myself & other Switch players (& I believe other console players as well) have been experiencing consistent game crashes, particularly during rounds against Nemesis, & I think I’ve nailed down a specific trigger for some of the crashes. It happens once all the gens are completed, but before the exit gates are opened, and…

New Killer With Matchmaking Woes
hi all! i recently started playing dbd on the switch and i am absolutely obsessed lmao. i’ve been trying to become better at killer because the bloodpoint output is so much better, and thus leveling up is faster, but recently i’ve been having a really hard time with matchmaking. i’m currently a rank 16 killer (15 on a good…
