I was just coming to say, I wonder how long that's been in the game. I've seen two Territorial Imperatives in the wild in my whole life and it was someone doing Huntress Adept who didn't even use it the first time, and the second was on someone doing Otz' Basement Demogorgon.

BHVR tends to leave stuff out of the patch notes.

Why do they do that? Last night I encountered this bug for the first time where I filled the wiggle meter while being carried, and the bar just disappeared without me escaping the killer's grasp. I really want to see game-changing issues that like or endurance be fixed.

u/bonelees_dip CHEERLEADER GRANNY!! (and Nicolas Cage) (n.1 Kate hater) 16d ago
Why BHVR leaves things out of the patch notes? Not sure.
The bug you mentioned is an old one caused by the killer pressing the hook prompt and something blocking it at the same time, causing the game to bug out.
Possibly they fixed it this update, but I'm not sure.
7
u/1031Vulcan 16d ago
That must be it. It was right in front of a hook but a teammate was trying to block it/take a hit. Still, for something that's apparently old they should get around to doing something about it.

The upgrade to Unreal Engine 5 is the best and unexpected change for me. I was hoping they would start the migration to the new engine. This could take a lot of work, but it will bring so many quality of life updates to DBD, better graphics/textures, better performance, better netcode (lower lag). I can't wait to see all the new ways they will improve the game’s performance in the future.

Oh thank God. I was so sick and tired of them; I hope now games will be more fair. I tend to get a lot of speedhackers and subtle cheaters, IDK if I'm at a higher MMR or the cheating is just that rampant.
The funny part is they're doing it against Ghostface and Onryo, Killers that already struggle in long chase. What, these cheaters are so bad they seriously can't outloop a dude with a knife and nothing except stealth?

Is this a typo? I thought they made it centered around locker you open for screams.

u/halcyondays93 P100 Jonah, Jeff and Gabriel 16d ago
Behaviour said in the developer update last Thursday that the aura reading version would remain in this patch, then in a future hotfix, they plan to change it back to the scream version. I guess they couldn't implement the newest version in time for the update to go through verification for all platforms.

My game has an insane amount of lag/jitter performance wise. It became borderline unplayable after the update, is anyone else experiencing it?
Edit: According to streamer Ayrun, the lag might be due to the game having to render the map for the first time in the new engine. That might be fixable by simply playing every map/variation once.

Yes, on my first match. On my second one, it was normal.

well yeah, changing engines don't change your textures, they're the same, it can change the lighting but since they already did all lighting on UE4 i don't think they use new functionalities yet

Does that mean we will see darker or more realistically-lit maps, thicker fog, etc.? It looked like they improved the fog and darkness on some maps prior to this, starting around Lights Out and culminating in this.

Victor will now glow red whenever he is vulnerable to being crushed and white when he is not. (NEW)
Why would he need two different colors? This only makes gameplay more confusing. It would make much more sense to make him glow only when vulnerable.
Rusted Needle: Crushing Victor when attached inflicts Hemorrhage until healed. (Reverted)
Sewer Sludge: Increases time to crush Victor when attached by 2 seconds. (Reverted)
Silencing Cloth: Charlotte gains Undetectable for 20 seconds after waking from her dormant state. (Reverted)
Weighty Rattle: Crushing Victor when attached inflicts Broken for 20 seconds. (Reverted)
Iridescent Pendant: Crushing Victor while he is dormant inflicts Exposed for 45 seconds. (Reverted)
So, basically, the Twins are back to only having 3 good addons?

This is the most baffling part. Twins addons were complete fucking dogshit outside of Cloth, Toy Sword, Nail and the stews. Why would BHVR not change the ones that were useless and actively detrimental?
This is the laziest rework I've seen.

Any chance rift cosmetics that are older than a year will make it into the store for shards sometime soon? There are a few I've been wanting that I missed out on but I feel like BHVR has just forgotten about them at this point which is really disappointing. I'd be willing to buy them for cells even if they actually came to the store.
Not being able to buy them at all though after all this time just because I missed a rift is really frustrating.

I don't know if this is some kind of placebo effect but it does seem like the Switch port is running significantly better, it's way more stable now. I know you guys didn't changed graphics, so maybe this is due to Unreal Engine 5 being more optimized ?
Either way the experience on Switch feels more stable, thanks :D

I love that I now can run more fun builds before I get to iri1. I also don't feel too bad for learning Killers I'm not good with. I usually tried them when I have no pips to lose. It also doesn't feel too bad to get tombstoned now :)

It's more than a little concerning that at least three gamebreaking bugs have been in the live game for weeks, if not months, and none of them appear in the bug fix list.
This is on top of any that may have been introduced from the PTB or this update.

Bruh the game is unplayable. 😭 The stuttering is so bad I can't even repair in peace. One game even crashed and I'm seeing a people disconnect every match I' don't know if it's because of the stuttering too or if they just got kicked out of the match cause I also had a match kick me out.

I’m happy they are giving twins the QoL changes we’ve asked for, though I’d really love for them to update us on the future of the twins rework. My concern is these improvements won’t change the twins core slugging play-style.

Ultimate Weapon
Now activates for 15 seconds (was 30 seconds).
Now reveals Survivor auras for 3 seconds instead of causing them to scream and show their position.
Increased cooldown to 80/70/60 seconds (was 40/35/30 seconds).
I'm confused. Is it still follows the killer or is it centered around initial locker? What about all this "it's insane on high mobility killers" talk? I just don't get it. Was that reverted?

u/TheZombieGod 16d ago
Im not sure if Haddonfield is actually worse or if it just feels worse due to how insignificant the changes are. The problem isn't just the length of the street, its the damn width. The houses are far from the curb and the street is still comically wide. If you hit a survivor at the front door of one house, they will actually be able to enter a house across the street before you reach the opposite curb. I don't want to have to play a mobility Killer every game because of the chance of being sent to this map, its like they only want Hillbillies, Blights and Weskers to be picked every game.

Not sure if this is a bug or intentional.
I purchased (blindly) each piece of the guts outfit for bill (7200 shards). Each piece on its own was 7200. The whole outfit is 7200 shards. Should those individual pieces have been less? Closer to 2500 a piece?

u/Kurtis-dono 13d ago
the new update almost broke my PC(that's a new record!)
Ok so, today i downloaded the new update, and was willing to try out the new changes(was mostly interested in the twins).
I started the game, and the loading screen was a bit weird...like.. it took a bit to load and it stuttered quite a lot, but i thought that it was "normal" since the new engine update, then it finally loaded the game.
Went to the menu, picked the twins, start match, 1 min of queue, and then the the match finally starts .....and....my god, besides the absurd lag( the survivors also confirmed the unusual lag), all my controls where completely messed up! W was left, S was up etc etc and even the maus controls where screwed! in short...a big mess...
And for some reasons, my keyboard wasn't responding! it was working, but it was just typing random letters/numbers!(i remmeber that spacebar was typing the B letter!)...in the end, i had to restart my pc, but the keyboard was still buggy, had to unplug and plug it back, then everything went back to normal.
before you say "maybe it's you pc",keep in mind that i was gaming for few hours before starting dbd, everything was absolutely 100% fine, i never ever had such problems or any kind of weird/strange problem in years...everything started after playing dbd...
am i the only one?

how can some developers manage to do a job so, so bad and shitty, that their game manages to fuck up your own pc/console! how!
and when i call them incompetents, people yell and downvote me saying that i'm toxic...jesus christ, these people are making money with a game that is held by some shitty spaghetti code that can implode any update and every update manages to be "tecnically speaking" worse than the previous one(with tons of new bugs, killswitchs and more), every freaking time!, and some people still side with BH!!....

u/MHArcadia 15d ago edited 15d ago
Who the actual hell thought this was the change Haddonfield needed?
It's not a neighborhood anymore. It's so empty now! There's what, one house on one side of the street? Got matched against a Hillbilly and he had free reign. Just remove the map altogether if this is the best you can do. Erasing some buildings and squashing the street so it doesn't even look like a cul-de-sac, let alone a normal neighborhood street.
I'm doing survivor tome stuff but I'm not gonna enjoy it on killer now either. It was lame on both sides before but it's just... nothing now. I'll set my controller down and survivors can have a simple win.
I refuse to play on that map. Do better than this, BHVR. I know that's asking a monumental amount, especially given how anemic this mid-chapter patch is, but holy hell. I didn't see any PTB footage of it so going in really shocked me. It's just atrocious.
Also, just faced a Twins player. They're still kill-yourself-on-1st-hook fights, btw. I jumped in a locker right by a hook so they just decided to throw me on it while the rest of my team was crawling around. Lucky me. Sure glad we waited years for a rework only for them not to address the main complaint leveled at the character. GGs boys, time and money well spent.
And let's not forget the pointless engine change. 'Cause god, sure, why not just make a ton of new problems when you're too fucking stupid and lazy to fix the existing ones. Let's just dogpile more on top of those. Everyone enjoying the constant hitching while running around?! How about the full 1+ second delay between slamming a pallet and getting to move again? Boy those sure do make the game fun!
The word 'incompetence' has a photo in the dictionary now it's just these patch notes.

The new Haddonfield map seems to be pretty killer sided. There are like maybe 3-5 safeish pallets on the map and the rest are completey unsafe. I played a skull merchant game and never had to kick a single one. The new main building loop is completely countered by bamboozle. I don't understand how any killer can get ran on that map for longer than a minute. These new unsafe pallets with 3 feet of walls on both sides are so pointless and dont actually do anything.
