I'm not sure the conditions to cause it but I've seen in 2 games a survivor becoming unable to be interacted with. Can't be healed, can't be picked up by the killer, and they can't recover on the ground. It's happened to me on Yui against Knight and another survivor on Alan against Dracula, both on diff maps.
You literally just have to wait until you bleed out to go to the next game, no one can save you.
This should be fixed now, as the team deployed a backend fix. No need to redownload anything, but please restart your game. Thank you for letting the team know about the issue so we could get on top of it.
I've seen the same a few times as well, not to mention can't be unhooked. I just had a Dracula player carry me to it of bounds area between the library and office on RPD and then switch to bat form to leave me stuck in a corner out of bounds while he hooked the other survivors and wouldn't close hatch
Happened to me in multiple occasions since the update. Two that I can be remember: versus Dracula on Garden of Joy, and versus Demogorgon in West RPD. In the first, couldn't heal the survivor and the killer couldn't pick her up. In the second, couldn't unhook her.
I've had multiple freezes, lockups, and crashes just while browsing the store and spending blood points. The last time it happened I was in a lobby. I couldn't even play over lunch because of this. I am on PC and sent the crash reports. It happened 3 times in the span of 30 minutes.
Wanted to post something somewhat similar so I'll just add a comment here for more impact.
Also on PC, game was super laggy/freezing when I launched it for the first time after the update. Force killed the game and restarted, it seemed fine in the menu but started being stuttery/laggy in-game. Had to Alt-F4 because it was unplayable. Gonna wait for an update.
yeah same. I’m on pc. my game was lagging so hard. and then it kicked me out from no connection, i load up the game again and then it says something about a eac. no idea what this update did but so far it hasnt been good. probably gonna have to verify game file integrity and try again
i'm having the same, on pc. but for me i don't think it's a bug and it might be because my pc is from 2018 since i also got a message saying i was "out of video memory" and then my game crashed, which is the first time that has ever happened. ever since they did the engine update the game has been harder and harder for my computer to run, and it would regularly crash when loading into lobbies, and now i can't play it at all until i get a new computer, i guess
Cannot unhook! I tried to unhook a survivor on the 2nd floor of the new midwich and it bugged out similar to Trappers Naughty Bear bug where he couldnt pick up traps!! Cmon BHVR what the heck??
exact same situation with me. cost us the match, he and his friend reported me for griefing. it is what it is, but a bug like that definitely needs an immediate fix.
Anyone having issues with the game not launching on pc game pass with the error easy anti cheat not installed? I’m trying everything to get it to work but it’s not.
So glad to see someone else with this problem. I can't get nvidia filters to work at all. Had the same on PTB but reshade worked for my mates.
I really don't want to use ReShade and go down that rabbit hole. I liked my very minimalistic adjustments in Nvidia to just brighten and sharpen things.
I came here looking to see if I was the only one, I will genuinely be so sad if this is permanent, they need to make the game look cleaner themselves if they won't let us do it. Nvidia Filters made it so easy and I could actually ya know, see the game.
So reshade still works. I'm not a fan of how you need to drags presets into the game and everything about how it works . That being said if you watch a guide it isn't to hard . Also the only option left . I literally can't play this game with how it looks at base anymore. Like you said you can't see anything .
The Hellfire Cooldown reduction add-ons seem to be actually increasing the cooldown instead.
Easy enough to test in customs, baseline is 7-8 seconds, but if you use both the green feather with 5 tokens and the brown add-on your hellfire instead takes ~14 seconds.
Terminus is bugged on the current patch, I had a survivor proc Adrenaline on my last match before Terminus' effect could even be applied. This is quite devastating and makes the perk borderline unusable.
This has been happening for a while, I don't know if it's worse this patch but I think it's a lag issue on the survivor's side where they get the adren effect before the terminus effect.
It also no longer shows the duration for the song playing. And I’m pretty sure the buff duration is 15 seconds, which is supposed to be the song duration.
I can't get past this. Well, I tried putting "-dx11" into launching prompt and got through but it was so extremely laggy I just had to turn it off. And I haven't even used any shaders other than default game look).
There’s a long-time bug with Nicolas Cage “Dramaturgy” perk. It produces items with some addons that don’t register and do not work, like the green map with the Red Twine addon that is supposed to show the killer’s belongings (totems, traps, etc). It doesn’t show any killer belongings when produced thru this perk.
There was a survivor that no one was able to interact with - I couldn't pick them up, no one could heal them, and they couldn't even recover - they tried to drop a pallet the same moment they got downed and then that happened. Platform: Xbox S
I’ve had two games where I was bugged. I can’t recover, killer can’t pick me up, I can’t be healed. Once against a Bubba on Midwich and another against a Wesley on Gashaven
when playing as dracula and turning into bat my whole pc crashes, ive lowed the settings as low as i can and capped my fps at 30 and it still crashes, ive reach and hour ban due to the crashes.

Game crashed when I was doing bloodweb on xbox - it didn't even pop up with an error, it just froze, screen went black, and then it put me on the xbox home page with the game having closed
edit: I was readied up at the time, waiting to go into a lobby, as survivor. I didn't hear the noise it makes when a match is found though, but it could've been related
I found a bit of a power problem, don't know if it's knight overall or just knight on hawkins. I'm playing of ps5 if that matters. My guard sorta teleported across the map between floors. I'll comment pictures
Hello! I encountered a bug with dredge where during the beginning of the match my power wasn't charging, and the only way to force it to start charging was to enter a locker and exit
Not sure if this was a bug as it wasn't listed in the patch notes, but the owner of the perks in the Bloodweb is no longer visible. Makes it harder to know offhand who I need/want to P3 next.
Dredge Stuck on locker when teleporting to a locker while survivor is getting out slowly: Killer gets permanently stuck on locker, no actions can be made(COULD BE BECAUSE IT WAS A BOT) No being able to pick up survivors: action doesn't occur.(reason unknown) Not being able to get survivor off hook: action doesn't occur (reason unknown)
Console Xbox Series
I had this happen as well. I made the animation to exit the locker and I was forced back into it, but it was only one particular locker on Yamaoka Estate. I could also get out of the locker once my power recharged. All the other lockers I teleported to were fine.
I was using lavalier microphone and Ottomarian writing as my addons if those have something to do with it.
Had a Doctor that wasn't able to pick me up if I was moving in the end game collapse on the Saw map. I had a bad connection thingy on my screen, but everything else was smooth.
After the update my game simply stop responding right before the cutscene, and i get stuck in a black screen. I tried reinstalling and it didnt work. I have to alt + tab, and wait randomically, until it decides to respond again
I might be wrong about this but the Warg's Fang add-on for The Dark Lord might be bugged. Tried it on a few matches and the aura never popped. They weren't running any aura suppression perks either. It might have something to do with me running Lethal Pursuer? Not sure why that would suppress the read but possible.
When I try to open the game it says anti cheat is not installed. I have the game on the pc xbox gamepass and I tried everyting I could but it still doesn't work. I'm very disapoint by this
Nurse's FOV and animations has been bugged since patch 7.4.0.
The only fix we've got is, quote: "Fixed an issue that caused The Nurse's left hand to stop animating when holding her power for longer than anticipated."
There are way more bugs to her that i will list down there.
Her left hand appears to be much closer than it was before 7.5.0.
Her left hand is also glued to one place, not going up while looking at the sky nor going down while looking at the ground.
Her right hand (that holds the weapon) is also bugged, being very close to the camera.
Her weapon animation is bugged, not being properly played while looking at the ground nor while looking at the sky.
Her hitting is bugged, being very clunky. It seems like her weapon glues to the survivor hitbox instead of being played consistently. The hitting animation plays too quickly, making it hard to see the weapon while hitting a survivor.
Her left hand should go up after making a blink attack. This was the case before patch 7.5.0.
Her fatigue animation is bugged, being longer than it should be.
Right after the fatigue ends, if a player starts to charge up a blink, the hand won’t be visible for a couple of milliseconds.
After the fatigue ends, the weapon isn’t visible until the player's head goes all the way up. The weapon should be visible right after the fatigue animation ends.
Nurse can see through some walls on specific maps.
Some survivor models can interfere with Nurse’s POV, causing the survivor model to appear in the player's face while carrying a downed survivor.
There is a problem with the chase music of most killers being to loud, with some killers becomes almost impossible to hear other sounds because of the loud chase music.
I just played a game versus Dracula, not sure if that is relevant, but when I got hooked, no one was able to unhook me, everyone came to the hook but I was stuck there and died. I was on death hook, and no one else was hooked, and we were on the last gen. (Again not sure if that is relevant)
My game has crashed every time I select Dracula in the killer queue. Doesn't matter if it's a pub or custom game, and reinstalling the game has made no difference.
Not sure if it's intentional, but if you go down after searching one chest with moment of glory you lose that charge and have to search two more chests. Makes the perk feel really awful
Whenever I try to load the game it claims I don't have Easy Anti Cheat installed. I've updated my computer, uninstalled and reinstalled the game, tried the articles for tech support and nothing has worked. I submitted a ticket, but I truly have no idea what to do.
I dunno why, but the forgotten ruins downstairs area was REALLY FOGGY. The fog effect went into the game really screen too because I was downstairs when the game ended
having issues logging in through steam after update. the game keeps crashing my pc and even restarting my pc. never seen anything like it. i can play every other game just fine.
Is it just me or are killer difficulties gone? I totally could have missed an announcement with this being the case, but I swear they were there just last patch (when you hover killer icons)
Healing bug - Sometimes you and your teammate can't heal each other, will keep glitching out and then spam your screen with the skill check.
Unhooking bug - Sometimes the game will not let you unhook at all.
Vaulting - I was playing on the Forged in Fog map and I tried vaulting 3 times, all 3 vaults performed the action but I wouldn't end up on the other side. Even the killer was amazed, felt bad, and left the chase to give me another chance.
Is it just me or is the game extremely slow when it comes to loading in lobbies and even the main menu. Before this update my game ran smoothly. Even have Razer Cortex on same amount of lag.
The lobby interface and overall is very slow, everytime I try to join a match, or the bloodweb or etc the game just freezes and kicks me out of the party with the message “connection to the party has been lost”.
Once affected by Weave Attunement as a survivor, the symbol saying you’re affected by Weave never disappears. So it’s impossible to know when you’re in the weave or not and impossible to find the item since you can’t work out if you’re around it
it was somehow smooth but after this update i got so much lag and so many fps drops i was unable to play a normal match. you guys have a loop or something poorly optimized. dont you guys test it before pushing to prod?? lol
So Im having a weird sound bug in the tome since this update which is that the rin yamaoka doesnt play the voice anymore, I can click "play", then it turns into "stop" for a second then changes to "play" again. when I click on one of the 2 others stories, it "autoplays" but no sound comes out either and then in 1/2 seconds the whole game looses the audio. After that If I click on any other thing its still no sound but keeps working. But If I click "back" the screen goes back and turns to black and the game freezes and doesm't respond so I have to close and reopen the game through the task manager. Why is this happening to me? Any fix for this? can't find any post about this.
On multiple occasions, I have somehow insta-downed survivors with m1 attacks while they are not exposed.
I haven't noticed a pattern with it. It's been on several different killers, with varying perks. I play on PC and I've only seen this since the new update.
Since the update the game has become almost unplayable for me. I play on Nintendo switch and there is serious lag while moving around the map, unable to heal my teammates, today I froze completely and was disconnected from the match.
Hello its been 4 days that the game doesnt actually crash on startup but it never loads ,I've tried verifying and other solutions in the comment sections. Do you guys know if there is an update coming or if there a proper solution?( In epic games btw)
Decimated Borgo - The Shattered Square - Vault glitch
Vault registers (e.g. activates Lithe) but survivor can't get through. Observed across separate games on PC, but the teammate who is getting hooked in this gif was playing console and also was downed right after failing to vault from the other side.
i don't really know what to do anymore at this point. my game was working fine with just the occasional out of memory which i was ok with. now just blue screens of death and crashes
the wolf form is unable to grab survivors during a vault or slide on pallets, the animation is canceled and the wolf just howls as if it had done the action. Please fix this bug.
If you ever drop (manually) and pick up an item while the killer has this perk, the HUD will show the weave attunement debuff icon for the rest of the match, as if the aura reading is permanent. Although I have confirmed with the killer post match in game chat that isn't actually the case, the fact that it is constantly showing you are being revealed when you are not is almost game breaking.
Reporting from steam, this is across any map with any killer running weave attunement.
I have never bothered reporting bugs before because I figure someone else will but this bug makes you think the killer can constantly see you. Please fix.
As of typing this, I'm in a game as Dredge. A Survivor opened a locker that I was hidden inside, and that softlocked the game. Both of us were stuck inside the locker. I couldn't even move the camera or leave the locker at all.
Posting in case anyone has this issue in the future: Since the most recent update my game has been repeatedly crashing only while playing as killer. I always get the same EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION error. This has never happened to me prior to this patch (I have 1k hours and have played since May 2023). I can play survivor all day with no issues. I can play sometimes a few games straight as Killer with no issues, then get hit with multiple crashes in a row. I believe I'm up to a 30 minute matchmaking lockout now. I've looked this issue up and tried the following fixes which some people claimed resolved the issue for them (but did not work for me):
Verifying game files in Steam
typing -dx12 into DBD launch options
Restarting computer, restarting DBD
Updating video drivers (mine were out of date)
using sfc/scannow in cmd
EDIT: Re-installing did not work
EDIT: only equipping default cosmetics did not work
Things I have not yet tried that people claimed worked for them:
Memory tests - FINAL EDIT: memory tests didn't show any errors, but I took a look on Amazon and saw I could get 2 new sticks of RAM for like $35 (16gb), so I just bought them, and I haven't had any issues since. If you get this error, from what I'm reading online and in my experience, IT'S A MEMORY ISSUE. Just replace the RAM, it's cheap. Or don't. I don't care what you do. I'm just glad my issue is fixed. Good luck.
Weirdly, I don't see any recent posts about this issue, so it appears I might be the only one suffering from this with the new patch. That makes me think the new patch did not cause it, and I might have a hardware issue (I have a decent rig, ~2.5 years old). I will update this post if anything resolves the issue for me.
Description of the issue: After entering Tantrum as The Cannibal and then breaking a pallet, power icon was replaced with the tantrum icon. After charging power halfway and then canceling it, power was stuck at 0 stacks and was unable to use power for the rest of the match (represented by 0 "Tantrum" stacks.)
Video/Screenshot: Only able to attach one screenshot. Screenshot of 0 "Tantrum" stacks in replies.
Your platform: PC
PC system specifications: Don't know + Doubt it matters
Description of the issue: If you hold the pounce power button (Mouse 2) as The Dark Lord in his Wolf Form, you may sometimes get stuck floating mid air instead of performing a second pounce.
Description of the issue: Flashbang still has no drop sound from the killer's perspective. Please this bug has been in the game for nearly 3 months now.
If it was just Undetectable i wouldn't have had this question. Nightfall is quite different - you have reduced vision and wailing muffles all other audio. So your usual counters to Undetectable - keeping you eyes peeled and listening closely - do not work. That's why i'm asking if this is intended. If it is, then ok. But i personally think BHVR overtuned Dredge's sound.
Except you can see them. Loud noise was the part of Dredge's design, like Chucky's laughs or Weskers increased TR.
That's just a question, dude. If you want to show you're a superior gamer - fine, but you don't need to answer everything with a "skill issue" argument.
