Dead by Daylight is keeping the ball rolling as usual with some new bug fixes. Especially with all that the asymmetrical horror survival has going on this spooky season, it continues to aim high and improve along the way. Yesterday, we covered the results of a massive update that happened in June 2022 but led to positive results in September. The update worked to improve the kill rates of all Killers in-game from around 50% to 60%, and it appears to have worked. Behavior Interactive released some charts with the results that you can find here.
Meanwhile, their Halloween event, Haunted by Daylight, is already underway. The game will have several new cosmetic goodies, an in-game event, new Killers including The Swamp Monster, and a brand-new thirteenth-tome called Malevolence, which has already been released. For gamers looking for a fun spooky game to play online with friends or solo, Dead by Daylight will be free to play from October 27 through November 1.
In preparation for the festivities, there has already been a mid-chapter update, which added some new cosmetics and costumes to the store. Today, another update has been released, but it is for bug fixes only. No major gameplay changes have been made. Maybe it’s because they’ve already met their goals, right? Most of the fixes are for things like the wrong rewards being displayed or for text issues in the Archives. Some of these fixes are kind of funny though.
In this update, the developers fixed a bug “where a voiceline in the Memory 708 in Tome 13 in French would repeat itself,” which sounds kind of unintentionally eerie. Another bug that “allowed the Killer to be able to body block Survivors in the Racoon City Police Station basement stairway” was fixed. No more body blocking for you, Mr. Wesker. It’s a fire hazard. Finally, they fixed an “issue that caused female Survivors arms to snap unnaturally when interacting with the Nightmare’s alarm clocks.” Well, that just sounds horrifying! Maybe they should have left that one in. Below, you can find the complete list of fixes:
