DBD on Console is a Dumpster Fire

[@TheOnlyChoy]

UPDATE: I tested this on 2 different Series X consoles, Xbox One X, and PS4 Pro. I didn't check PS5 or Switch. It looks like it's primarily an issue with having the DLC's downloaded on Xbox that causes the issue and since I have every DLC it's very slow. Maybe uninstalling the DLC's will help you if you're having issues. Unfortunately I can't because of home share issues. The og Xbox One and PS4 run horrifically in-game, especially against killers like Doctor where the frame drops are egregious. It's been interesting reading the comments and seeing all the weird different issues players have with the different versions of the game. Hopefully BHVR is willing to treat the entire game like the store and optimize that shiz.

I didn't buy any dlc, only bought the characters via the game itself. On my series X it takes like 50 seconds to load into the main menu

UPDATE: Xbox Series X here! I just tested this myself. It took 1:15 to get to the main menu and only another 15 seconds to get to the Killer screen to play. Frankly over a minute is a little much to get to playing. Really not a huge deal IMO. Some big games take WAY longer than this to get in to. But there is something SERIOUSLY wrong with something on your end. This is a very typical load time for me. NOTE: I do have pretty good connection and speed. Gigabit internet. I’m not sure if that’s a factor your case.

[@EchoTheWorld03]

I play DBD on console cuz there is no cross progression yet plus I like to take and play on my PS5 when I go somewhere for vacation.

[@RKosmik]

As a PC player who only turns on his xbox to play Dead and can't wait for cross progression I actually have an answer to reduce load times. Turns out during the wesker update if you have any DLC downloaded and I mean ANY DLC for Dead it causes the game to take forever (like the video shown) to load. However, if you delete all your dlc, and redownload the game without downloading ANY of the DLC the game runs faster about cutting the waiting times in half. Don't worry too you can still use all your DLC characters even if you don't have any DLC downloaded. Hope this helps. I did some FPS testing on console a few years ago so I understand the hate for console. So remember... delete everything and only download the game with NO DLC to fix these load times (still takes awhile about 40-50 seconds to load from start). I've been running Dead on Xbox with decent load times since.

[@Bleeglesplotch]

How is it possible to delete the DLC and still have access to it?

[@RKosmik]

@@Bleeglesplotch Honestly I have no idea. But I've been running DLC-less for over a year now. As long as you bought your items you DON'T have to have them downloaded to access them.

[@Bleeglesplotch]

@@RKosmik I just don't see how that possible so I'm not deleting the DLC files just to have to try and track them down again afterwards if that doesn't work. As a matter of fact, I remember playing one time after moving my game from my hard drive to an external hard drive and one of my DLC's didn't get checked on the move and it was left out (The Knight DLC) and I didn't have the Knight when I loaded up.

[@RKosmik]

@@Bleeglesplotch You press the menu button (start) on Dead to access all your DLC so you don't have to go to the store to find it one at a time (under "Mange game and addons). I'm not sure what to say but the only reason I found a fix for these loading time bug was reddit. There was a post saying the DLC caused an issue with load times. Been playing the game daily with no DLC downloaded. Been playing all my characters and perks and what not. I could provide a video if needed.

[@Bleeglesplotch]

@@RKosmik no that's okay. I understand the process, I just personally have no load time issues so I don't see the need for the extra steps.

[@AlcinaDimitrescu]

The console ports for dead by daylight are so terrible, and it's literally a whole different game compared to PC... The FPS drops, and it stutters so much.

Don't even get me started on the poor controller inputs and support for DbD either, granted I play on PC but I use an XBox controller due to RSI and Carpal tunnel in my right hand/wrist. A lot of killers are just too difficult to play with a controller (the ones that come to my mind are Huntress, Slinger and Trickster, but there are a few more), not impossible, but incredibly difficult. I just want there to be better support for these killers, because it makes it incredibly difficult to play them due to controller jank.

Played DBD since 2017, first on OG Xbox, switched to Xbox One X and since 2 years on XSX. The main difference between them 3 was def the framerate. And even i play on an 120hz/4k LG OLED TV with XSX now, the game isn't even close to at least stable 60fps on both sides. On the MOST POWERFUL CONSOLE (on paper), btw. Remember when they promised stable 60fps for the old console gen and it never happend? Def a optimisation issue up to this day, they seem to just not care. At all. Also something went terrible wrong since the UE Engine Update 2 months ago. On certain maps and certain loacations there's horrible rubberbanding / stutter / lags. Feels like getting sucked into invisible objects. I know this affected all plattforms so BHVR did a patch. But at least on XSX (and i heard PS5 aswell), it even got worse. If you're on XSX, just play surv, bring a farm offering and run arround some objects. It's unplayable and i'm on a break since 2 months because of this. Well, maybe that's a good thing...

Hey fam, I play PC and on xbox series x and just tested my xbox. It took 52 seconds to load in from the start image, and got the killer selection page at 1.01. And this was this the new update, a second test and it loaded in 48 secs, and got to killer at 58 secs. I think something is wrong with your xbox, or your internet connection, check to see if your NAT type regularly switches to moderate. I'm sorry it seems to be this unoptimized for you. I will say though, the audio problem is pretty real, nowadays on the series X it seems the same as my PC, and I use the same headset for both. But if you try the switch version, oh my god its terrible. At the same time, it impresses me that a phone CPU and GPU (yes the switch has the same power as a phone), can run it at all. That being said, its a live service game, and the state that it is in, is unplayable, and steps need to be taken to address the gap between versions.

[@pedrobeli2942]

funny how my simple gamer notebook that i have for 2 years can run dbd better than a fuckn new gen console

[@thepimpedlink9578]

I can tell you, the moment I switched to PC dbd, is the day I started getting to Iri 1 every reset (pre rework)

[@whamster1637]

Is it the series x maybe? Because I have a series s which takes about a minute to load into the game and to select killer it takes nowhere near as long as it did in this video. My friend has a ps5 and he loads only a few seconds slower than the series s usually

[@Chris.Jackaman]

My friends xbox series x loads within 60 seconds but mine takes almost 2 and a half minutes. Not to mention that since the 8.0.0 update, whenever i go inside a structure or into the dungeon on the new map. I drop down to below 60fps where as before the 8.0.0 update, i never received a frame drop below 118fps Update: just loaded up the game, took 7:17. Could have watched this video again while it was loading

[@klaudiuah]

brother how is it that slow for you? ps5 takes less than a min to load in

[@slothy9897]

I played over 5k hours on ps4, I remember the days when blighted cosmetics tanked frames, sloppy, getting hit by Freddy, and even just having the game open for a few hours. Console dbd is a different breed, but older consoles was something else man

[@Crashidan]

I swear on ps4 it does not take that long, it takes slightly longer than PC does.

I play DBD on a gaming laptop, it was like $700 I’d guess, it was a Christmas gift. I load DBD just as quickly as you do in the video. Before that I played console, old gen ps4 specifically. I wouldn’t even touch killer because most killers were unplayable, throw a hatchet as huntress huge FPS drop, blink as nurse huge FPS drop, there were other powers that did the same thing while others didn’t do it at all. For example trapper placing a trap never dropped my FPS playing on either side. But playing as huntress/nurse/blight/trickster using your power would significantly lower FPS almost every time you used it. As I said I switched to PC so that’s how I’ve dealt with the problem, but it sucks to hear the problems haven’t gotten much better by the sounds of it. I expected the new consoles to load it way quicker than that.

[@cryptic_creatorgaming9689]

Do you have a knock off xbox series x or something? My Nintendo switch and series s are matching or very nearly so to the pc times you showed.

[@darkdemonrelic1220]

Hey Choy I’m just curious, how old/how long have you had your series X? I’ve only had mine since December but I feel like my times are slightly faster than yours by about 20 seconds on the start and 3 seconds when you play killer or survivor. However on my old gen everything feels a lot more sluggish (my old gen is 8 years old) I’ve also noticed when other people show me their old gen it looks faster and smoother than mine which I presume to be that maybe their old gen is newer which could be why your new gen experience for dbd feels sluggish. I think with time the console just gets slower compared to a newer model of the same console but either way my mid pc runs the game way smoother than my series x in terms of loading times but not graphically :P

[@kaelanbarrios1214]

And if I can’t get a $2000 pc vs $500 console?

[@Hydrodictyon]

While I was still playing dbd and doing content, I talked about optimisation being dogshit with new game engine coming (despite myself being in a 4070 Ti PC), but learned quickly that my share of community at least mostly thinks that optimisation is for the poor. Now THAT was a discovery to make.

[@jasonblundelldobebussing]

Are there any Old Gen users in the comments, just how bad is it? Last time I played it was back in 2017. And btw, how TCM's online on Old Gen?

[@nsreturn1365]

og xbox is prob like 7 min cause they had hdd, not even ssd.

[@scarceyew6933]

Hearing that evil dead music at the beginning brought up so many memories😔

[@omcomphonetapes1315]

Wait wait its EVERYBODY on PC thats waiting 40~ seconds? I thought it was just my PC showing its age!

[@ladypink7225]

Hi! Console player curious about getting into PC for gaming, especially for DBD. If you don’t mind, and if you’re able to tell me, what EXACT parts do you have for your pc, if not pre built, and would you say it’s hard to transition over to mouse and keyboard from controller? Any suggestions are appreciated! ❤️ Oh, and good video!

[@dewbieaddict]

All the more reason they need to get the cross progression in either next month or August at the latest they said this summer. I just bought a good a** pc just waiting to carry over my stuff

[@misterpinkandyellow74]

What is your pcs specs?

[@dewbieaddict]

​@misterpinkandyellow74 well I'm still new to pc but I know I have a 4070 graphics card wich I'm told is pretty dang good that will last me awhile

[@reksustv]

Dbd is usually twice as hard on console. I have over 1.6k hours on ps4 dbd, but when I tried out how easy pc is, I was just straight up mind blown by the insane difference
