Horrendous Performance
When I took a hiatus from this game in 2021 or 2022, I used to get about 40-50% GPU utilization on the lobby screen on 1080p low settings with an i5-6500, GTX 1060 6GB, and 16 GB DDR3. I have since upgraded to an i7-7700 and an RX 6600 and after coming back to the game I now have a whopping 65-70% GPU utilization on the…

Remove Pointless Perk Penalties
As someone who likes to run niche, underused perks, it frustrates me that some of these perks still have major drawbacks that make them feel terrible to use. Technician is one example. The main point of the perk is to prevent the generator explosion when missing a skill check, but not only do you still get the full…

PSA: Stutters May Be Related to VSync + FPSLimit
I took a several month hiatus from DBD from this winter until about a month ago. Ever since I came back, my performance has been terrible. Matches felt consistently stuttery. Sometimes a restart would seem to help a bit, but that was clearly placebo. At some point during my hiatus my GameUserSettings.ini must have been…

Remove the Additional Regression Penalty From Technician
Technician is a very beginner-focused perk, perhaps moreso than any other survivor perk in the game. Experienced players will seldom be missing skill checks, so it makes little sense to bring a perk for this reason. There is no risk of abuse at high rank by removing the additional 3% regression penalty, even in niche…

Data Tracking in Dead by Daylight Marketing
https://deadbydaylight.com/en/news/data-tracking I'm not happy about these upcoming changes and hope that you would reconsider. The following is not nearly good enough: "We understand that player privacy is a topic near and dear to the hearts of gamers – and rightfully so. For that reason, we wanted to take the time to…

Keep it Up, Oni!
Just got out of a match on Rotten Fields against an Oni that was having a really hard time. They were getting lost in the corn a lot and were struggling to get downs. At 1 gen left I started feeling a little bad for them and decided I was going to let them kill me at the end and say some nice things in the chat. They ended…

The Devs Are Not Biased Against Killers
With each new patch comes a new batch of angry posts alleging (usually anti-killer) bias and claiming the Behaviour is ruining the game. I waste too much time replying to these comments individually and I'd like to see some community discussion around this, so I wanted to collect my thoughts into a single post. It's going…

Crossplay - Duplicate Rank Reset & Login Rewards
Step 1 : Load up the game on PC and collect your 1k shards (was showing 6k total for me). Get notified that your rank is being reset to rank 5, and notice the purple "5" in the top right. Step 2 : Create a BHVR account and set up crossplay with Stadia. Step 3 : Load up the game on Stadia. Collect your 1k shards again (was…

Victor is the RC-XD of Dead By Daylight
He's like a foot tall, you leave your main body to control him, he zooms around at increased speed for a bit, he does damage, and then you have to stop controlling him for a bit and just play the game as normal. Red Army + RC-XD legendary skin for The Twins when? Charlotte even has the sickle already :P

Tapp's Badge is Bugged
Notice the aura from the slugged Tapp: Normally it has rubbery physics and jiggles around, but on the hook it looks like this: PC This at the very least happens with his prestige torso cosmetic. Not sure if it happens every match, but I've seen it several times. Not sure if it happens with the base torso cosmetic. I can…

Deja Vu Only Shows Two of Last Three Generators
I play on PC. At least twice tonight on different maps I ran Deja Vu and could only see two of the final three generators. The perk worked normally up until we had completed four generators, but at that point only two of the remaining three generators were highlighted. I haven't ever been able to make this not happen, but…

OoOo - fuxxin' love
I found this song yesterday and it instantly made me think about DBD because of OoO 😀 It's dark/chill R&B. Enjoy the vibes, y'all! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O59Dk8tjDKY

Hag + Insidious
Let's say you're playing as Hag and you stand still to proc Insidious. 1) If a survivor triggers a trap, does the trap still emit a terror radius? 2) Regardless of the answer to #1, if a Hag with Insidious teleports to a trap, does Insidious stay active, or does that count as moving for Insidious's purposes? If the answer…

How Do You Wish Console Killers Good Game?
Let's say I'm finishing a trial against a console killer that had a really tough game. Is there a way that I can convey "good game" to them without it coming across as toxic and making them feel worse? I feel like most things I could do as a survivor would make them feel bad (beckoning, pointing, crouching, nodding, etc.).…

Bepis
My buddies and I often refer to "Bloodpoints" as "bepis". I have no idea when it started, but I'm sure it came from the fact that they're often abbreviated BPs. "Acquiring bepis" is now synonymous with "playing DBD" to us, to the point where we'll just text each other "bepis?" to ask if we want to play. Does anyone else…

PC - Horrendous Desync
STEPS TO RECREATE Step 1 : Boot the game. Step 2 : Play survivor in a two-man SWF (did not test killer or solo queue). Step 3 : Notice horrendous amounts of desync. Frequent rubber banding (including while standing still), the killer bodyblocking windows they're not standing in front of on my screen, the killer landing…

Finer Button-Mapping Granularity
As survivor, I can't tell you how many times I've accidentally jumped into nearby locker while trying to vault a window or accidentally wasted my Saboteur while trying to heal someone right under a hook. As killer, I'm sure all of us have accidentally vaulted a window or opened a locker when trying to pick up a downed…

Beast of Prey Buff
I'd like to see Beast of Prey get the simple buff of a bit of persistence to the Undetectable effect after you lose Bloodlust. Both of its effects are currently pretty terrible. 50% more in-game bloodpoints in the hunter category doesn't work out to much by the end of the game, because you're already going to be at or near…

Optimization Status?
Hi Friends, As most of us are well aware, Dead By Daylight has had its fair share of performance issues. I have a GPU substantially above the recommended spec (min: GTX 460; rec'd: GTX 760; mine: GTX 1060 6 GB), but at times it can still be maxed out with <60 FPS on high. I'm sure that even those of us with stronger GPUs…
