New SURVIVOR: Ashley J. Williams

During a weekend at a cabin with friends, Ashley J. Williams uncovered the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis (the Book of the Dead) and awoke something dark in the woods. Evil possessed his friends, whom he was forced to kill, and his right hand, which he sawed off.

For the next thirty years, Ash ran from his past, working at a Value Stop department store and seducing women in dive bars. But he screwed up one night while being high, when he read from the Necronomicon to impress a woman. Evil found him once more, wrecking the life of those around him. After a terrible fight with a fully formed demon, Ash was taken by the Knights of Sumeria to a portal.

He awakened, fully healed, but trapped in the future. As months rolled by, he started to feel homesick, which peaked when he mistook a demon for a woman from his past. What followed was a gruesome fight in the locker room, during ...

"Mash It Up!" #5, now on YouTube!

Today, we are launching the first edition of the Dead by Daylight Developer Update. These articles have the objective of giving our Community a better visibility on our short and mid-term priorities and how each of them is progressing. We are looking at releasing an update like this on a regular basis.

This first edition will give you insights on some hot topics including the infinite loading screen issue and the new matchmaking algorithm. We also want to provide an update on our progress for: Dedicated Servers, Legion Update, the new End Game Collapse and the Freddy rework. 

Game Health Issues 

Infinite Loading Screen 

This bug prevents players from loading into a game. This occurs when one of the players in the match experiences a game hang. The player’s only choice is to force close the game.  

The Infinite Loading Screen is a complex case that requires a lot of investigation from our engineers. We already identified part of the issue and pu...

Last December, we announced that we are migrating Dead by Daylight to Dedicated Servers by Summer 2019. Since then, we have been hard at work getting the game ready to make the switch. We have recently been testing dedicated servers internally, and we are now ready to share more with you! 

Testing Dedicated Servers 

On April 25th, two days after the Player Test Build launches, dedicated servers will be enabled on the test environment. The PTB will use a copy of your save file from April 19, 2019 8:15AM UTC. Any progress earned on the PTB will not transfer over to the live build.

PTB Patch Notes 

https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discus...

Read more

Dedicated servers are now enabled on the PTB. This marks the first public test of dedicated servers. In order to assess how the system scales with the number of players online, this initial test will be limited to approximately 500 players per data center at any given time.

If your region is currently full, you will receive the following error message when attempting to join a match: 

If this happens, you may want to wait a short amount of time before trying again. Spaces will open as existing matches come to an end, allowing new matches to be created.  

ATTENTION

If you were already on the Player Test Build, you will need to update to the latest version (2.7.0a) to access the dedicated servers matchmaking. After the players have installed the 2.7.0a version, dedicated servers will be turned on in the backend and will not need any further update.

Dev Notes

Unreal Engine update

The updated engine has added support for many new features (especially in Audio & Rendering), but also caused some incompatibility with existing features the game relied on. As such, we have re-balanced a few very important components of the game (lighting, fog, sound & occlusion)

• Added support for more realistic volumetric fog in all exterior maps.
• Adjusted audio balance and occlusion levels across all maps.
• Adjusted lighting across all themes and maps, quality settings, as well as Killer specific lighting conditions (The Nightmare's dream world, etc).
• Reduced the dis...
