Because of this video's content, a lot of the footage used in it is from other content creators, so if you are interested in seeing the full videos, check out the description where I credited each person I took the footage from! I also would like to apologise for this video's rough editing, as I had to upload it today and so, I had to rush it a bit. I still hope you enjoyed!
@@MintSkull you can sup up this video by just discussing the twins & leg chapters Edit ah, you did talk about them Chain saw wielding Michael was fun tho
I actually played RE 2 remake before I came back to DbD, all 4 campaigns till I had S rank so even coming back to the game 4 months ago I didn't like RPD despite knowing the entire layout from scratch
@@pabloolmosmonroy3434 fun fact, Myers is the only killer who can be completely bodied by a swf team running blood pact, when survivors with this perk are close to the obsession, both them and the obsession run 7% faster. Myers in tier l is 105%.
I would like to add that during the 5th anniversary. For console, the entire game would lag for a solid 3 seconds whenever you used an exhaustion perk, someone got unhooked, a gen popped, someone cleansed a hex, someone healed, ETC. And deadhard would literally make you go backwards and not give any form of invincibility. And this all took, 6 months to fix.
It was a very bad update, and I would call it the dark ages of DBD, since every single update after Twins was bad and it took until Dredge for the game to start growing back good
It's honestly incredible to me that a game with such terrible spaghetti code, with such a flourishing community of hackers (that the devs don't have enough brainpower to fix let alone every other gamebreaking bug in their game) is still exploding in popularity. I feel like the licensed DLCs are what keep it going.
@@Marverick1998 Because there's no real alternative. Competition usually pops up but dies for one reason or another. Currently the only game trying to compete in this genre is Video Horror Society. The latter is fun enough and is actively being developed by seemingly good devs but people don't give other Asym games many chances anymore... these days...
The killer terror radius thing was actually kind of a funny one for me. As a survivor I'd be constantly jumpscared like "WTF IS GOING ON???" and just running around like a maniac. It was hella annoying after a while though.
@@thedutywarlord264 It was funny at first, then killers who knew about this bug abused the sh*t out of it, using agitation + iron grisp to make people's life miserable until it was fixed.
@@Lefurtif126 " make people's life miserable " ..... yeah ok dude . It's only a game and it was not an annoying bug . Survivors were abusing glitch near exit gate like the time when we could hit them or every others toxic bug . I have no mercy for survivors.....
@@thedutywarlord264 It's absolutely normal DBD shit. People complain about the other side having people abuse a game mechanic while ignoring their side abusing different ones. I matched against survivors abusing the non-hittable gate corner way more often than killers abusing any game mechanics.
Does anyone remember during the 5th anniversary event you would get a farm map ALL the time? I just remember getting nemesis on rottenfields SO much to the point where I didn't even want to log on some days
I think for every map rework they increase the amount of times players go there to showcase the new map (I got Badham preschool a lot when that map's rework came out) but that's what map offerings allow so idk why they did that.
Right before (and right after) they rework a map/realm, they greatly increase the chances of being sent to that map/realm. It's so strong that it even overrides map offerings. I got old Haddonfield so many times in a row I just quit until it got disabled.
1.3.1d was some of the most fun i've ever had in any game, i remember trying to do the glitch and failing because i wanted to blink around on claudette. I eventually settled and just equipped 4 copies of hope and fucked around and had so much fun. Even though 99% of games were busted, it was busted fun.
Exactly. In terms of bad update, 1.9.2 takes the cake as it's in my opinion the worst state the game has ever been, it was unfun and completely broken. But 1.3.1d was EXTREMELY fun!! Perk stacking, Chainsaw Myers or Hag, Wraith setting up traps, it was absolutely crazy and wild. I sometimes wish the game broke like that again, just to see the chaos that could happen with the new perks!
@@MintSkull imagine The Doctor abusing ULTIMATE OF ULTIMATE impossible skill check. Or Sadako with Deathslinger gun. That’ll be so wild, that this will be transformed in entirely new gamemod.
@@MintSkull Yeah, i get what you mean, It was really really fun. But the bad update scale made it seem like it was unfun. Part of me wish that happened again too, or at least, something fun with dbd happened, but that's asking for too much at that point.
@@Horse_Puncher I apologise for that misunderstanding! Should have made it more clear that I loved every single moment of thst update hahaha. I did say that 1.9.2 was the worst update ever, and the 1.3.1d was like an “integrer overflow” where the bug is so grave, it went from a negative to a positive!
@@difference3maker36 when portrait of a murder released dead hard validation was at its prime and sadako rising didn’t bring any new players in, it only lost players. Those sound broken to me
I remember a few other things, all from 2019 The falling through the floor at the killershack at the swamp maps and in front of the exit gates on Haddonfield the bugs were in the game before the first rift. The basement bug that came into the game with the Oni. If a survivor got hung up in the basement it was very likely that the affected survivor would have a bugged look permanently afterwards - like falling through the map. However, you still walked normally across the map for the other players and they could interact with you. The hill that sucked you in. But I think it was from 2020
@@kalebtacularz8259 ngl I did had some wholesome moments from that bug, like killers showing their empathy or when I play killer, a couple of survivors got stuck and I decided to help them get unstuck (I messaged them that the hill was bugged, instead of farming, the survivors and I decided to restart the match. So the survivors go at their side of the map and I go to mine.)
I think there was also this one bug with Legion where you could stack the mend timer with an addon so that it would take 5 min or more to mend. Meaning when you stopped mending you would go down instantly
Yes. It was the Filthy Blade and Nasty Blade addons. Each time a survivor mended it would add on to the time. And I’m pretty sure the old Sloppy Butcher affected it as well.
i think it was 2020 when there was that bugged spot at the bottom of the hills that made you stuck forever. i remember being a killer main and getting stuck there, and survivors eventually finding me and letting me down them so i could free myself, or freeing survivors when they got stuck. i believe the pick up animation was the key to escaping it. kind of wholesome times.
Oh god I remember that, I was having flashbacks of that just watching this video. I used to run balanced back then as well so I was compelled to go to those hills.
That was the time that both survivors and killers showed their empathy for their enemy. But I remember that killers were more unlikely to get stuck because of their hit boxes.
I remember there being a bug around early 2019 on survivor side where when you escaped through the exit gate, the game wouldnt count it as an escape and you'd just be left to walk outside the map. Normally the fix was walking off the edge to fall back into the map but on rare instances it wouldnt fix the bug so you were forced to either escape through the hatch if you were last or die to EGC/the killer if you and/or another survivor were unfortunate enough to experience this bug. Happened to me a few times when it was a thing and just accepted the death if I couldnt make it out on time.
I remember that happening to me as well. I think it was around the time the Stranger Things chapter dropped. One match I was Nancy and tried to leave through the exit gate and the game teleported me back into the map, so I figured that I would have to find hatch and fortunately I did before the killer
not sure if this was just a console thing but there was also that time where pinhead had just released, and every match u got into that was with a pinhead wouldn’t even finish because the pinhead would dc sometime during the match. not even an actual dc but a dc that happened bc the game couldn’t handle it. i remember feeling so bad for the people excited to play pinhead.
What really pissed me off was when they released the halloween skin for The Legion and The Ghostface, you needed to pay real money in order to buy them. So I bought them with auric cells, after 3 days of complaining, they made it so that you could buy them with shards and even gave everyone who was participating on the event, the proper amount of shards. And I didnt get a refund ^^'
Damn, u got scammed 😂 Also I can’t be positive that it was around this time but there was a bug in the reworked springwood maps where there was one wall in the killer shack where you can walk through. I discovered this bug by accident when I was looping a legion and I was hugging the wall on the shack and by luck, I literally phased through it. I showed this bug to my teammate (only me and my teammate was alive at the time) and then showed the bug to the killer. Surprised by the bug, the killer decided to let us live. I remember repairing the generator with my teammate at the shack and the killer is just walking in and out of the fake wall. Good times :)
And next game I played as killer (back when I was a spirit and Freddy main) and put on a springwood offering to see if this was a bug to all springwood maps. And it was. I remember the survivors and me just messing around with the fake wall for the majority of the match.
another fun quirky issue i've had is that since the haddonfield, legion and ghostie reworks i crash randomly every now and then, some days it gets as bad as that i'll crash every single match, and i also crash when i add a friend or accept a friend request or if someone requests me or accept my friend request:) i have contacted support multiple times but they've never ever looked into it and just told me to buy the game again to see if it helps:))))))
Blight's POV during the PTB wasn't "broken" at all, but rather a design choice. Many people prefer that lower POV while using his power because it makes his power easier to use, and fits the playstyle better.
I use to main Blight a long time ago, he was my favorite killer in the game and I did very well just about every match with no add-ons. Ever since the update where they changed his POV and his collisions, he's been atrocious for me to get into again since he slides on the most random shit like giant rocks and the killer shack!! It's been so long and he still can't collide with the outside of killer shack after that update!
@@joyfulleader5075 Yup, I had the same issue for a while after. But killer shack having no collision is more of an upside once you learn how to use it to your advantage. You can easily play shack and still bump on the doorways / window sides.
@@joyfulleader5075 I’m the exact opposite, when blight came out, he felt so broken to play as because of his collision. I stopped playing blight after that. A bit of time later I decided to play as blight again just to have fun. He was fun to play as which surprised me so I decided to main blight. Sure the collision on certain objects are so bad that you can just slide off of it, but the bullshit collision on shack actually has help me a couple of times to get hits on survivors.
Just to correct something. patch 1.9.2 didn't have the reworked version of Tinkerer that we have today, it just increased the charge time of powers which allowed for true insta saw Billy and machine gun Huntress. It was changed I believe with The Clowns mid-chapter patch.
Remember when you exit the trial, but the killer just grab you and you were already escaped and the killer hooked you. So, you could be dead and escape at the same time while watching yourself on spectator mode.
as someone who played since clown mid chapter till the official release of mmr then retired. This was the perfect video to watch. showed what felt like all the different chapters of my (and im sure many others) time of playing this game. and with each moment you talked about I could remember a lot of that time and gameplay. really good video my man. We all escape the fog someday.
I started playing around the time that ghostface was still a new killer. Aka around the 3rd anniversary. I still play the game till this day but sometimes when there’s a bug that is too game breaking, I would take a break
Funnily enough, the 4th anniversary update wasn't without a bug either. For the first two weeks of the 4th anniversary, the Ghastly Gateau was bugged to give 140% bloodpoints to yourself rather than 104% to everyone. Luckily it was a rather minor bug, and after they fixed it they extended the anniversary update by a further two weeks to make up for it.
Oh god I remember the howling grounds event. I was extremely addicted to dbd at this point and I somehow managed to grind out the jacket for David within less than 24 hours even though the game would constantly crash
Thank you for recording something that is part of DBD History! It's so hard to find videos showcasing these bugs, yet yours was perfect and included a two in one (Dwight with a chainsaw and Floating Myers)
@@MintSkull I am glad that my videos are considered part of the games history! The Chainsaw Myers in your thumbnail also comes from one of my screenshots 😄
You forgot an unfortunate side effect when blight was added. When you try to hook a survivor, it just doesn't let you. Dropping the survivor then picking them back up lets you hook them. In many cases, it made the game unplayable for killer. At the best, some time wasted dropping then picking up the survivor. At the worst, you just simply lose a hook and they wiggle off.
Imagine the bug where a killer and survivor can use all perks and combine it with the kill with friends bug that lets you have up to 3 killers in a game. That would be hell
Thank you for reminding me that I've not only experienced all of these DLCs and the horrible time I've had with them... but that I've been playing this game since the 2nd DLCs release. So thank you for not only letting me relive pain but also making me feel old.
They need to bring back the instant chase music when the killer is nearby, sometimes the tension from heartbeat isn't enough and I think it would get me ready for any chase
Well, I have good hopes for it. Even if stuff is bad, we still have the killswitch. Also the PTB was not bad at all, so let’s pray the new update is solid! Bhvr for sure learned from their mistakes last time
Don't worry, since the last RE chapter, the updates have been for the most part very well made and not buggy or broken. I'm positive this update will be good as well.
Also the howling one lasted for 3 months. The devs were were so stubborn that they devided to stick to their regular 1 update every 3 months schedule and not hotfix the terror radius. I was there, for the whole show and will never forget or forgive it.
I remember In Halloween of 2019 you could unlock blight serum skins for all the killers at the time. And the year after BHVR hyped up that they were bringing it back. But all they did was discount the prices by 10% (but not really of course) and they released more blight skins. Shit was mad greedy.
I don’t remember which update it was but I think it was a the resident evil update that made console dead hard the most unjaring thing, making it every time your survivor dead harded the game would turn into a slide show (it froze your game for like 2-3 seconds) and you’d had to pray the dead hard made the killer miss because it also didn’t give you distance. I experimented with the perk and If I remember the killer just sees the survivor standing still and gets full I-frames. Also the game kept crashing for console survivors and killers
thanks for reminding me how pissed i was for the legion release, cuz they made it seem like they were a stealth killer that you act like a survivor in the teaser (the one with david and frank) and i thought that was so cool, then i saw the gameplay and was like "that's...not the same at all" and even though i am a legion main now cuz i did end up enjoying what we got, im still pissed that we didnt get what was in the first teaser
As painful as all of this was, you can't FULLY blame the Devs for the bugs. I mean, the game was on essentially every platform, so it was practically guaranteed to have some bugs with each update; we just got to hope there aren't much each time.
@@HappyIsaac0420 Getting a little grumpy, I see! That's your opinion on things, but if they didn't expand, who knows how many people wouldn't be able to play it?
@@braytonewell honestly all a lot of people give the devs a lot of shit now but they actually played back the early days of dbd the game was way less balanced then what it is now and bugs and exploits were way worse I experienced all this and it was terrible.
@@Notwedsquid I've played since 2017, so I know how the game has gone for a while. Besides, that was the early days without so many updates. The Devs have worked their butts off recently too, so they deserve a little more credit than they get. I admit, though, that they surely have made many mistakes, such as maps.
@@braytonewell same I played since 2016 the day that the game released stopped playing during 2017 cause Fortnite released came back to in 2019 but the devs have been bringing out great patches just a couple days ago they gave wesker a small buff and quality of life changes theirs removing pallets on rpd reworking some perk decreased the bp cost was great once the devs get the map balanced down we might have a better game on our hands
I actually really enjoyed rcpd on both sides. When i was killer, i love doing creative cutoffs on people and i was aware of what benefits each killer i played had on it, except for billy, i love billy snipes but theyre impossible on rcpd. As for survivor, i had all the loops memorized, and knew how to traverse the map safely. But now, i do hate rcpd, the variants make it so much worse, and all the different changes, do not like the change one bit.
Back in the fifth anniversary (I think) stacking anniversary offerings was bugged, and burning 5 offerings would result you receiving like 80k bloodpoints (150/250 normally in a good match)
Twins are still insanely buggy and unplayable on console, almost every game i play with them i run into one of these issues, cannot return to charlotte from victor and if u actually manage to you now cannot use victor and can only basic attack aswell as not being able to break pallets, boons etc and cant pick up survivors so no hooking at all. There is also another bug that when you use victor or he gets killed by a pallet your character just breaks and now you are unable to move becoming frozen in place, this forces you to let survivors finish gens and leave or just DC. This is incredibly frustrating as someone who plays alot of twins and wants to keep paying them but because of this im forced to just give up on them. In every 8 of 10 games i play these unplayable issues occur. Will BHVR ever fix these problems.
There was also the multiple killers in a game exploit in 2016 or 2017, can't remember when exactly. There was no way it could happen by accident, you had to break a KYF lobby to do it and you needed friends to pull it off so it wasn't widespread but boy was it interesting.
Thank you for making these videos. As someone who started playing DBD when Dredge got released, it's really nice to see all the things that happened in the past of the game, and how BHVR grew as a developer. I'm kinda glad I waited to join the hype train, seeing how broken the game used to be, and how good we have it now despite the little problems that are still there. Keep making them!
I’ve played since Dredge too and it’s so surreal knowing the past updates and patches and how crazy it all was. Makes me wish I played earlier so I didn’t miss out lmao
This one seems to slip under the radar a lot but with the release of Ghostface and his accompanying anniversary event, some killers, I think I remember Legion and Ghostface himself being 2 of them, had their chase music broken. I’m not sure if it was a console only bug and that’s what made it fly under or not but their terror radius would be SUPER quiet even when up in your face. It was to the point where I think listening for Legion’s breathing was a louder audio cue than the terror radius. Ghostface didn’t matter so much considering his terror radius vanished with his power and I believe it was on a shorter cool-down then? Weird patch and made my anniversary pretty miserable.
2 other things of importance Remember when Blight dropped with the Badham Preschool Rework, and they didnt lower the increased rate for badham for atleast 6 months >:( Also, Infinimend Legion should def have been mentioned, because that shit was hell, istg, the two knife addons used to increase the time it took to mend every time you hit a survivor. It was ridiculous because eventually the mending took longer than your average game now does
I wish I was around during the 5th anniversary. Unfortunately there was a bug that would *delete your entire save progress* so I was kinda terrified of launching the game.
I feel kind of bad for the devs. They just wanted to make good for players but they get constantly shit on by the same people they are trying to be good for
I was present when the 5th anniversary was live and OMG i hated it. Lag on PS4 was like someone snorted brown and yellow snow and shitted on my router that cause of it needed to reboot every second, it was that bad. Now the freezes are back but much less but still are and that's why i want to buy Xbox Series S ( and cause it's cheap for a next gen console)
the worst update out of all that made everyone wanna stop play is the update where the drege ate mourice since then the fog is a much darker and colder realm that it was before...
Despite the low POV on blight, he was still playable, atleast to me. The twins, I honestly can't even comment. It was probably the worst thing on this game. I'd rather play 2017 dbd than play whatever that is.
The Twins still feel somewhat unplayable to this day due to the sheer amount of jankiness they have. Victor's physics and collision are an enigma and Charlotte feels like a slug since she suffers a long cooldown whenever anything happens. PLEASE give the Twins a tweak BHVR...
I remember when I bought blight, the collision on stuff was so bullshit, that I stopped playing blight afterwards. A bit of time later I decided to play blight again for the fun of it. Let’s just say that I’m now a blight main XD
I don't know if you lumped this in with the 5th Anniversary event, but hit validation was released very much untested. On the killer end, you would so clearly get the hit that you would see the blood spray and begin wiping your weapon, but you would get stunned and lose it. Right when they introduced MMR and boons. I spent three days reporting them as hackers, who were also running rampant and taking advantage of MMR to harass high rank killers and derank them, before I found out that it wasn't a hack. It was a feature.
Ill never forget around trickster patch getting hit by a Freddy in shack when he was standing in the other door when I was in the OPPOSITE door. I actually thought he was hacking but it turns out it was just the game
Another honorable mention for unplayable, there was a patch that put next gen consoles a patch ahead, I believe it was 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 but don’t quote me on that. I couldn’t play with any of my friends for a week or two
RPD is a testament to BHVR's lack of forethought that is often the underlining culprit to the game's issues. People complained about the layout + the size + the loops - so BHVR decided to make 2 _(very similar)_ variants, while expanding the map layout, and adding more pallets (loops). _Rather than go in a different direction and create a map in Racoon City - they just went with the cheaper, easier alternative, and failed to consider the impacts RPD 2.0 would have._
I also want to mention one particular patch, that I cannot remember exactly which number it was. essentially, specifically the PS4 version of Dead By Daylight, right around the time the Blight released, made the game incredibly laggy. and I mean *incredibly* laggy. as in, 10-15fps, consistently. this supposedly happened due to BHVR testing the game on the PS4's developer kits, which has slightly different components.
The 2017 Halloween bug was the reason why I stopped playing, interesting I thought it was the game Mechanics but not the mid animation pallet and flashlight save which is shown at 9:23 I did not know that it was a bug
worst thing i experienced was the time sloppy butcher used to make survivors have insane frame drops on console. wasted most of the on-hit speed boost and it took so long to fix
Also the release of the Trickster completely broke hybrid steering (gamepad + mouse/keyboard). I have been playing with one that has a touchpad, I used joystick to move around and a touchpad emulating mouse movements. It hasn't been fixed yet, though I didn't check it on today's update.
