Dedicated Servers Test: Feedback

I hopped on the pc version to try em out and they seem a lot better. Issues here and there but they've come a long way.

Good job.

For example of issues hit delay on huntress hatchets and myers sometimes stalks through walls.

Been waiting for a lobby as survivor for 18 minutes...

Legend has it I'm still waiting.

i think u guys have done a pretty good job so far (for real kk'')

i only play as survivor,and the matches seems to be more fair now for both killer and survivors,definitly no hits through pallets and windows

Location: Europe

Ping: 75 ~

Played yesterday 3 hours with Plague:

Lobbys was fill very fast after finding a match, thats great !

On my first Plague match i got a weird bug (?) where i puked for about 30 seconds and in this time a walked normal speed with Plague :D

But this only happened in first match.

Hit detection with M1 attacks is great but i think sometimes the puke didnt hit when it should.

And when you destroy pallets, it fells the destroy animation stucks a little bit, so it takes longer.

Hope this helps a bit.

Sorry for my bad english btw

Bye

If its going to be dedicated servers the game needs some kind of lag compensation. The hits look even funkier than they do on p2p with you getting hit from what looks like even farther away than before.

I played a game as Spirit a little while ago, and it seemed fine. I honestly don't see a difference; performance was as-expected. Grabbed two people off gens, even!

Connection is very inconsistent, one game you have 40-50 ping the next you have 140-200 ping, when the connection is on the good side for the most part it performs pretty well, however despite your ping all killer powers seem to have a large delay, and can cost you the game. On the survivor side, it is usually either unnoticeable or hell on earth, no in between. Overall better than it was in the PTB, but still needs a lot of work.

as killer i get 50-100 ping it feels smooth and all but before my survivors get randomly dc of the match but now im the person who get dc instead of the suvivors as survivor you get more easy hit in windows and pallet and randomly getting dc i hope my issue get fixed

1. - Clown threw lotion like 10 meters away from me, I did not scream but exhausted status appearet - i got killed.
2. - Huntress was throwing hatchets through the wall
3. womiting princess was womiting behind the walls with same mechanic like huntress witch hatchets.

Good luck with that. I am done

I keep being hit by Huntresses without their hatchets ever making contact on my screen, most of the same huntresses have complained about their hits not connecting when they should (obviously I can't confirm that side)

I've also been hit over vaults, pallet or otherwise while my feet are firmly planted on the otherside and I'm moving away by killers that were, on my screen, not even close to the vault. (This is especially frustrating at pallets where that should be impossible no matter what.)

So first off I like dedicated server I think it will help, but after play of killer match I will have to say this, A) with dedicated server it ######### over people like me who have ######### internet and can’t do anything about. Out of 7 games of killer 5 of them ended with my internet dcing me and me not getting anything for the match because of it. This has never happened to me as killer until dedicated server happened and what I think should happen is have it reward people who are dc’ed to internet issues while not giving anything to people who leave the game to there own will. Because people who want to play the game but have bad internet can’t control it and suffer thanks to dedicated servers. B) while playing there are still hit box thing that ######### me such as huntress hatchet clearly hitting but not doing damage or plague vomit not doing anything. C) with dedicated server another thing you could do is if killer is having internet issues the game pauses for a couple seconds and if it isn’t fixed then the killer dc because it unfair to people with bad internet to play killer then instantly dc with no warning. I know it’s going to happen to me because my game screen freezes then it says I dc and I get nothing from it. What I want is a way for people with something they can’t control to not get punished after waiting for 15-20 minutes to find a lobby and getting nothing out of it.

My killer matches have been great but I am only one state away from the East Coast server.

Not to be a jerk, but if you know your internet is crap, you shouldn't be playing killer, as you are the host, and it ruins the entire experience for anyone trying to play in your match.

Hi, im from mexico, so sorry for my bad english.

Here, as killer, ive noticed, in general, survivors connection its going better, before that i used to see people playing in pings beetween 45 & 450 latest days after the last update, but now i see people ~~130 &150, that's honestly not bad, i mean that is my usual ping as survivor, then like killer the downgrade is obvious, but i preeffer play against players whose have the same ping that me, that play against players with ping of 200 or 300 who dissconnects or suicide at the first chance they have, making the game more boring to all of us.

An issue that ive noticed as killer, cuz i play mostly killer, its that i hit more "fakehits" than before.

I hope u can fix it as soon posible, but i really trust we can reach the max performance of the dedicated servers

I <3 BeHvr

Here's what I noticed:

Ping always in 70s; not much of an issue. I live in the Bay Area, CA.

Huntress hatchets have way too much desync. It's incredble sometimes and it makes it irratating to go against them.

Other than that, I legit didn't even notice. I think if dedicated servers had a wider area of reach then most people wouldnt have the issues they are having now.

Are the dedicated servers hosted at your HQ or set up around the world? If so, where are the server locations?

EXACTLY THIS. it makes NO sense why they put dedicated servers alpha testing on live servers. No consent. Not on a PTB. But on LIVE servers. It's evident that they don't play their own game.

I haven't noticed anything game-breaking. My ping is about 50ms. Projectiles with Plague felt fine. I've noticed some occasional input lag, and there are times where my weapon swings just felt off and I was shocked they didn't connect. Almost like I somehow swung short. I have ~900 hrs playtime, so it'll take a bit for my muscle memory to adjust for latency on killer. Issues for me have been few and far between though. Definitely not a "sky is falling" scenario like many are claiming. 95% of the game felt normal. My verdict: Good job. Looking forward to the finished product.

DH feels a lot worse with dedicated servers.

I get exhausted, but still got hit. Same thing happened with p2p but with dedicated servers that shouldn't be possible. If i get exhausted and server registers that I used DH, (immune to hit) then how server can register hit as hit?

Hits trough pallets and windows feels worse too.

On Nurse there is moments when I get weird speed boost instead fatigue after blinks.

Pretty much what @SkeletalElite said. Everything what servers were intented to fix is actually worse.
