Patch 1.0.2d - 30 June 2016
BUGFIX Fixed an issue that could slow down or break matchmaking for some killers
Patch 1.0.3 - 11 July 2016
BUG FIXES Fixed entity visible at the start of the hook sequence Fixed interruption on hatch causing the survivor to turn invisible FEATURES Survive With Friends (V1) This initial implementation of Survive With Friends will allow for a group of survivors to be created and to matchmake into a ranked lobby together. It should be used in a similar fashion as the Kill Your Friends Mode: Have a survivor (host) created click Survive With Friends from the Main Menu As the host, invite other survivors to the lobby. Once the party is formed, have all players ready. This will triggered the matchmaking process and transition the party to an online lobby. Note: After playing a game, the survivor group will be automatically disbanded and all members will be returned to their single player survivor lobby. We are working on maintaining the party between games, and you can expect this to come in a follow up patch.
Patch 1.0.3a - 14 July 2016
FEATURE Matchmaking changes to prepare for Survivor Groups
Patch 1.0.3b - 14 July 2016
FEATURE Added support for Survivor With Friends (V1)
Patch 1.0.4 - 26 July 2016
FEATURES & CONTENT Additional Survivor customisation Items (one set per Survivor) Survivor Gestures (1 & 2 on Keyboard, D-Pad Up & D-Pad Down on Controller) Russian & Chinese Localisation New Coldwind Farm Map (Fractured Cowshed) Increased support for catching players tampering with game files BALANCE CHANGES Level design & art adjustments to reduce infinite window loops Added dynamic spawning of window blockers Removed the possibility to place bear trap really close (or on top) of each other BUG FIXES Fixed escaping of the level when running towards the exit and caught in a bear trap Fixed hatch noise being audible even if the hatch is invisible Fixed locker interior being visible in the distance Fixed locker blocking placement of bear traps Fixed some issues with objects appearing too clearly through fog and in low-end Fixed issue with chainsaw add-ons making it impossible to fully heal a survivor Fixed some cases where the survivor used killer customisation parts when entering a private lobby Fixed returning to a lobby from a private match causing an infinite load for the Host Fixed countdown not occurring in private lobby if a party member leaves while readied-up Fixed some cases where bear traps could be farmed for points by survivors Fixed some cases where players would not lose pips (disconnect penalty) while exiting an active game Fixed scoring event localization Fixed hatch appearance frequency on certain maps Fixed black nodes appearing on the blood web (and force regenerate invalid blood webs)
Patch 1.0.5 - 4 August 2016
BUG FIXES Fixed an issue which could cause Steam Stats & Achievements to get reset Fixed an issue preventing the trapper from placing traps near sabotaged traps Fixed an issue which could cause killer prestige weapons to flicker in game Fixed an issue that caused the Saboteur perk to decrease sabotage speed when using a toolbox Fixed an issue which could cause survivors to lose pips when the killer leaves the game (known issues with the Tally not properly displaying the pips & blood points status in such cases) Fixed an issue which caused the perk "Whispers" to trigger when near dead or sacrificed survivors Fixed an issue which could render a downed survivor unable to interact or be interacted with if a pickup interaction would fail BALANCE CHANGES Removed the ability for a survivor to disarm or sabotage traps while walking or running Added a penalty to the wiggle build-up when a killer puts a survivor down Bloodhound: Fresh blood marks can be for 2/3/4 seconds longer than normal (up from 1/2/3) Our data indicates that Bloodhound is underpowered. In order to make this perk more viable, we have chosen to increase the duration of how long the blood marks are visible. With a longer blood trail, there are more chances you’ll pick up the scent and be able to start your hunt. We kept its powerful synergy with Sloppy Butcher in mind: Sloppy Butcher: Increased the frequency of bleeding for tiers I and II. Decreased the frequency of bleeding for tier III. We rebalanced the amount of blood spawned when affected by sloppy butcher. We feel the new balance is closer to the intended gameplay: being able to track a survivor. The injured survivor needs to use the environment to break the line of blood splatter using grass and other techniques to obscure their trail until they are healed (or killed). Overall this perk should be more a more viable option for killers’ loadouts at all levels. A good killer at this point should be able to follow the blood trail on most maps. Brutal Strength: Increased barricade destruction speed bonus to 20%/30%/40% (up from 10%/20%/30%) Brutal Strength is a good perk that is being picked, but not as often as the more popular perks. We have decided that a slight boost should allow for more dynamic play and enough of a boost to merit equipping this perk. Insidious: Decreased time taken to become stealthy to 4/3/2 seconds (down from 6/4/3) This is one of our favorite perks. However, in its current form, it can be too slow to use with the current pace of the game. The idle time required is often too high a price to pay, especially at level I. We have lowered time required to become stealthy for all tiers of the perk. Survivors, take your time to look around before you do you anything risky! Iron Grasp: Fixed description and decreased wiggle reduction effect to 20%/40%/60% (down from 25%/50%/75%) We want to add a bit more challenge for the killer when transporting a victim with Iron Grasp. As it currently stands (due mostly to sneaky sabotaging survivors!) we chose not to reduce the time required to struggle out. However, we did reduce the wiggle force reduction to allow survivors to fight back a bit better. We also updated the description of the struggle time effect to match the values that were already in-game. No One Escapes Death: Added a time limit of 120 seconds and reduced movement speed bonus to 3%/4%/4% (down from 3%/5%/5%) No One Escapes Death is probably one of the game’s most controversial perks, and certainly one of the most often picked. By adding a time limit to the perk, we’re encouraging killers to try a “berserker blitz” where they have to hunt and find survivors as fast as possible, rather than camp strategic points. The very slight movement speed decrease will help some survivors get away during these 2 terrifying minutes. With these changes in place, we believe that this perk will no longer be a “must-have” for every killer loadout, but still be a viable option. Shadowborn: Reduced the field of view bonus for all tiers This perk has was so strong that it was a no-brainer to always use it, especially given the rarity of flashlight experts out there. The FOV difference should still be high enough to be noticeable and give an advantage to those who use this perk, without being an automatic pick. Spies from the Shadows: Increased odds to trigger the effect to 50%/50%/75% (up from 25%/50%/75%) and increased range to 16/24/36 meter (from 12/24/36) We believe this perk is fine at tiers II and III but the first tier of this perk could use a boost. Increasing the chance that the crows give a visual cue and increasing the range should make this perk viable even at tier I. Unnerving Presence: Significantly increased chance to trigger skill checks Even though the numbers appear unchanged, they are now added to the base chance rather than acting as a multiplier on them. This will greatly increase the probability of skill checks being triggered when in the terror radius of the killer.
Patch 1.0.5a - 8 August 2016
BUGFIX Integrate additional analytics to investigate failures to join lobby & matchmaking
Patch 1.0.5b - 9 August 2016

Hag: Trap outlines are now revealed to survivors when illuminated with a Flashlight Hillbilly: Chainsaw charges can no longer be interrupted by flashlight blinds Made it impossible to place bear traps on top of the hatch Modified "Object of Obsession" to be affected by the "Sole Survivor" perk.

Patch 1.4.2a - 14 March 2017
BUG FIXES Fixed an issue causing "Borrowed Time" to not activate when a healthy survivor would get hit with a double-damage attack (Chainsaw, Tier 3 Evil Within).

BUGFIX Added Shrine of Secrets content for this week
Patch 1.4.2g - 13 April 2017
FEATURE Added support for a Blood Hunt this weekend
Patch 1.5.0 - 27 April 2017
FEATURES & CONTENT Added a new info Status Effect display in the HUD Added a set of black Left Behind shirts (torso customization) for Dwight, Jake, Meg, Claudette & Nea (available if the player is a member of the Dead by Daylight community on Steam) Added controller support in the menus Added localization support for the Korean & Japanese Languages Menu UI V2 BALANCE Added the Bloodlust Mechanic (increased speed for killers during chases) Adjusted Hag Trap activation. Will no longer trigger when crouching Adjusted rarities for some perks and rarity probabilities for perks selection in the bloodweb Adjusted the audio occlusion levels of multiple objects Adjusted the effect of light affecting offerings Adjusted the radius of the circle at which the crows fly around still survivors Changed "Bitter Murmur" perk. Changed reveal values from 2/4/6 to 5/7/9. This perk currently ranks as one of the lowest usage rates amongst killer perks, we are testing an increase in reveal time to see if this perk's usage rates increase. Changed "Iron Grasp" perk. In light of the Sabotage and hook repair implementations, we have changed Iron Grasp's values to their old values. Struggling is reduced by 25/50/75% changed from 20/40/60%. Time to struggle out of the killers grasp is increased by 4/8/12% instead of 15/27/36%. As noticed the numbers have been much higher for a while, this was due to Killers not having enough access to hooks on the map. The Auto Hook Repair mechanic should allow for smaller Iron Grasp numbers. Changed Dull Totem cleanse scoring value from 400 - 600 Changed Hex Totem cleanse scoring value from 800 - 1000 Changed Sabotage of Hooks to be 15 seconds instead of 20 Changed Totem cleansing time to 14 seconds from 10 seconds Changed skillcheck starting point from .25 to .33 Changed the "Hex: Devour Hope" perk at level 3. Removed the repair generator penalty given at 1 token and replaced it with a speed boost at 2 tokens. The reason we changed the bonus from the token gain was due to the fact that the repair penalty was a dead giveaway that the killer had Devour Hope. Changed the "Hex: Thrill of the Hunt" perk. Removed condition that required a hook save for a token to be applied, instead tokens will be awarded for each remaining totem on the map. Additionally the killer will receive a notification when someone starts working on a hex totem. Changed the "Lightborn" & "Shadowborn" perks. These perks have changed to match the 1.4 engine update lighting. Modified the recovery time to a constant 50% for Lightborn, light effectiveness has been reduced from 100% to 35% for both Lightborn and Shadowborn. Shadowborn gets you blinded at most 30% faster which is down from 50% and the time to recover from this condition was reduced from 75% to 50%. Changed the "No One Escapes Death" perk (now called "Hex: No One Escapes Death"). We've modified NOED to be a Hex based perk instead of having a 2 minute timer starting once the gates are powered. The Hex will be applied once the exit gates are powered as long as there is a dull totem still intact. Survivors will have an option to destroy the totem or try and open the door to escape. Changed the "Save the Best for Last" perk. Removed the flat successful and missed attack cooldowns from the perk and replaced them with a Successful attack cooldown that is triggered after chasing a survivor for 20 consecutive seconds. Changed the audio cue used when the "Small Game" perk gets triggered Changed the color of survivor auras in the effects of the perk "Bond". These auras were previously red, which generally indicates the survivor is in trouble. Changed the auras to yellow Changed the progression bar color to make the visibility of the progression more noticeable (ie repairing, unhooking, healing, etc) Decreased the penalty for failing a Sabotage action skill check from 25% to 10%. We believe the Sabotage fail skill check penalty was too extreme, we've reduced the fail skill check from 25% to 10% in addition to making the sabotage time for bear traps longer. Increased Exit Gate opening time from 15 seconds to 20 seconds. We've increased Generator and Exit Gate unlocking times by a 10 and 5 respectively in order to add more time overall to matches. Increased bear trap sabotage time from 8 to 16 seconds. We believe that sabotaging the Trappers traps/his power, was too easy, we've increased the time to sabotage as compensation. Increased generator total repair time from 70 seconds to 80 seconds. We've increased Generator and Exit Gate unlocking times by a 10 and 5 respectively in order to add more time overall to matches. Reduced the bear trap disarm time from 5 to 2.5 seconds. We've reduced the total time to disarm a trap, we believe that finding a trap should be the challenge, whereas once found disarming should be relatively fast. Removed hook sabotage score event once gates are powered Removed problematic locker in the "Blood Lodge" map Removed the ability for the Trapper to place bear traps under hooks. Traps under hooks have caused many issues for survivors trying to save their teammates and ended up with more frustration than fun. Traps can still be placed near the hook but there should always be enough room for the survivor to unhook their teammates without either survivor being trapped. Removed the possibility for the "Chinese Firecracker" item to spawn in chests or in the bloodweb Sabotaged hooks will now automatically repair after 180 seconds. This feature has been implemented to help combat the sabotage loop that results in slugging due to the killer having no hooks/ being too far from all the hooks. Some Character custom Items rarity value have been modified The "Adrenaline", "Balanced Landing" & "Sprint Burst" perks now use a shared cooldown for the activation of the speed boost (Exhausted Status Effect). Exhausted cooldown is paused while running. "Adrenaline" cause Exhausted Status Effect but is not impaired by the Status Effect. Trapper and The Hag trap place times have been reduced by 2 seconds overall. There is an initial trap placement time which took 2 seconds, then the trap would be set for 2-3 seconds followed by an out animation which would take another 2 seconds. We've reduced the out and the in animation times to 1 second each which should help trappers and hags place their traps more dynamically/ in chases and perhaps allow killers to mind game by fake placing a trap. Unhooking a Survivor with an Item underneath them has been made easier, unhooking has the priority. Picking up the item requires the Survivor to look directly at the item. BUG FIXING Adjusted darkness levels around closed houses in Haddonfield Fixed Prestige Items not properly showing during the Prestige reward screen. Fixed a crash that could happen during the offering sequence Fixed a crash that could happen while The Shape would stalk survivors Fixed an issue causing "Left Behind" to affect all action speed rather than just repair speed Fixed an issue causing "Sprint Burst" to trigger during interactions if the survivor holds the "run" button Fixed an issue causing Killer powers and Memento Mori kills to not be usable when being a non host Killer in a Kill Your Friends lobby Fixed an issue causing Killer to get blinded during Memento Mori kills Fixed an issue causing killers to sometimes float instead of falling after vaulting a window higher than ground level Fixed an issue causing map selection offerings to have no effect in Kill Your Friends even with map option set to "all" Fixed an issue causing non-obsession survivors to not hear the audio cue when the obsession would get killed Fixed an issue causing perks to not display the appropriate color in the HUD for spectators Fixed an issue causing player(s) to be stuck on a pulsating logo screen when accepting/joining a private lobby Fixed an issue causing players under the effects of the perk "Borrowed Time" to not go into crawl state when being hit out of a bear trap Fixed an issue causing survivors not to get a delay after hitting a skill-check in the regression zone of the "Hex: Ruin" skill-check Fixed an issue causing survivors to animate backwards (moonwalk) when performing an action while using the flashlight Fixed an issue causing survivors to be unable to heal themselves with a medkit when standing too close to another player Fixed an issue causing survivors to potentially become stuck when rescuing another survivor from the hook while a bear trap is being placed Fixed an issue causing survivors to sometimes receive the "reunited" score event when escaping the level Fixed an issue causing the "No One Left Behind" achievement to unlock in invalid circumstances Fixed an issue causing the Killer to be unable to destroy a pallet from one side in the "Torment Creek" map Fixed an issue causing the Killer to be unable to destroy a pallet from one side in the "Wrecker's Yard" map Fixed an issue causing the Map item to display fully repaired generators Fixed an issue causing the Map item to display sabotaged bear trap highlights Fixed an issue causing the Map item to scout the bear trap held in the The Trapper's hand Fixed an issue causing the Shape's stalking screen effect to remain on screen for a spectator switching from the killer's point of view to a survivor's point of view Fixed an issue causing the audio from the Ferry Boat crows in "Backwater Swamp" to cut off Fixed an issue causing the description for The Shape's add-on "Vanity Mirror" to display the description for "Scratched Mirror" Fixed an issue causing the flashlight beam to display the old beam when spectating Fixed an issue causing the hook camera animation to continue on the Tally Screen if the killer would leave the match during the sacrifice sequence Fixed an issue causing the recover bar to be influenced by other players health bars and possible reset recover progress Fixed an issue preventing The Nurse from blinking through the crashed bus asset in the Junkyard maps Fixed an issue that made it impossible for the player to move the camera while cloaking or uncloaking with the Wraith Fixed an issue that made it possible for a killer to attempt an interrupt while carrying a survivor Fixed an issue that made the player camera partially stuck when loading in Fixed an issue where generator pistons wouldn't move if the exit gates were powered and the generator was untouched Fixed an issued causing "Unbreakable" to sometimes allow the owning survivor to recover more than once Optimized GPU usage for higher cost lights (killer red light, flashlight, cop car light in Haddonfield, neon light in Gas Heaven) FEATURES & CONTENT Adjusted add-ons and perk slots to automatically change to the next slot when in the character Loadout Changed mouse cursor and adjusted mouse cursor speed in menus Moved "Settings & Controls", "Credits" and "Quit Game" buttons to the Main Menu Removed "Extras" from Main Menu BALANCE Adjusted Exhaustion cooldown recovery speed to be half as fast when running and 133% faster when crouching Bloodlust - Changed decay from 10% a second to 20% a second effectively causing the decay to last a maximum of 5 seconds Bloodlust progression now resets after blinking (The Nurse) or after teleporting to a trap (The Hag) Removed bloodlust accumulation and speed boost while cloaked (The Wraith) or stalking (The Shape) Removed the bloodlust speed boost while attacking BUG FIXING Fixed an issue allowing Killers to be able to equip any power Fixed an issue causing Spectate mode to freeze after switching roles in a KYF and Public lobby.

Patch 1.5.1b - 18 May 2017
FEATURES & CONTENT Added support for a double bloodpoints weekend from May 19th to May 23rd BALANCE "Snap Out Of It" duration increased from 8 seconds to 12 seconds All shock therapy zones have had their hitbox heights adjusted to better hit survivors at different elevations Doctor add-on "Mouldy Electrode" charge speed penalty reduced to 10% Doctor add-on "High Stimulus Electrode" charge speed penalty reduced to 30% Doctor add-on "Order: Carter's Notes" special skill check chance increased to 100% Doctor add-on "Order: Class I" special skill check chance increased to 25% Doctor add-on "Order: Class II" special skill check chance increased to 50% Doctor add-on "Polished Electrode" charge speed penalty reduced to 20% Increased the default shock therapy attack range by 20% Increased The Doctor's movement speed in Treatment Stance from 4.3 m/s to 4.4 m/s Shared Hallucination aura color has been changed Shared Hallucination auras are revealed to The Doctor in Madness III BALANCE EXPLANATION "Order" Add-on Special Skill Check Chance Increase: The chance of triggering this affliction was too small to make these add-ons an appealing choice. We have increased these numbers significantly in order to make its effects more noticeable and hopefully make it a more satisfying experience. Changed Shared Hallucination Aura Color: The shared hallucination's aura colour was flashy, but not very fitting. It has been changed from "Notice Me!" Hot Pink to "I Indicate An Ally" Yellow. Electrode Add-on Charge Time Penalty: We found the penalty to the charge time of Shock Therapy made these add-ons less fun to use so we have significantly decreased them. These add-ons should be more pleasant to use now! Improving The Doctor's Base Kit: We have heard from players that The Doctor is too reliant on add-ons, and they would like to see improvements to his base abilities. We agree! Today's patch includes a change to the Shared Hallucination affliction to make its aura visible in Madness III by default to increase the incentive for driving survivors mad without relying on add-ons. Future updates to The Doctor will likely include new afflictions and changes to his base abilities. Increase "Snap Out Of It" Charge Time: "Snap Out Of It" should feel like more than just a minor inconvenience. We have increased the time required by 4 seconds to give the killer more time to counter this action. Movement Speed Increase in Treatment Stance: We have slightly increased The Doctor's movement speed in Treatment Stance to match that of The Hag. This change increases the consistency of movement speed across different killers, and gives the Doctor more mobility to land Shock Therapy attacks or patrol the level. Shock Therapy Zone Adjustments: It seems very natural to chase a survivor and shock them as they run away. The default shock therapy zone was too small to do this reliably, so we have increased its range. Furthermore, it was very difficult to hit survivors on slopes or stairs; the hit detection zone has had its height adjusted to better handle these situations. BUG FIXING Fixed an issue with a locker in the hospital bathroom that could make it impossible for a killer to open while occupied by a survivor Reworked Doctor texts to be clearer
Patch 1.5.1c - 31 May 2017
FEATURES & CONTENT Added the ability for developers to change the active Matchmaking Systems (Steam to Dead by Daylight Services and the other way around). This is toggled using a switch in the Dead by Daylight Services, and applies to all players at the same time. (The players won't be able to switch from one service to the other on their own.) Integrated Shrine of Secrets content for this week
Patch 1.5.2 - 8 June 2017
FEATURES & CONTENT Added the ability for the KYF Match Manager to toggle whether join permissions are limited to friends only or not. Added the ability to view Items, the Killer Power and Add-ons on the score board at the end of the match Added the Proficiency System. The Proficiency System helps the player know how the different gameplay elements (e.g. their own or other players' perks, offerings, add-ons) affect their performance at the interaction they are currently performing. Proficiency icons will appear for: Chance: Displays if the player has a better or worse chance at succeeding the performed action (only valid for actions that can fail, e.g. escaping a trap or a hook) Efficiency: Displays if the player's Item Usage depletes slower or faster than usual Progression Speed: Displays if the Action Progression Speed is slower or faster than usual Skill Check Difficulty: Only displays after the first Skill check, and indicates if the Skill Check is easier or harder to succeed Skill Check Probability: Only displays after the first Skill check, and indicates if Skill Checks happen more or less frequently than usual Adjusted the color of the interaction bar when using perks, items or add-ons to properly reflect if there is a positive(yellow) or negative(red) speed effect Adjusted the controller cursor speed and stickiness Adjusted the font size of player steam names in the HUD. Font was reduced to compensate for names cutting off Adjustements to various survivor & killer animations (killer attack camera movement, hooking, survivor carry, open exit, window vault) Implemented a character info screen. This screen features each characters unique perks and their character biography Implemented a new Help & Tutorials section Implemented tooltips on the loading screen Integrated additional status effects and modified some existing effects to use the new Proficiency system (see below). The current status effects are: Blindness: Character’s vision is impaired. Bloodlust: Killers gain bloodlust by maintaining a chase for at least 15 seconds. Bloodlust increases the Killer's movement speed Cursed: The Survivor is suffering from a secret penalty due to a Hex Perk. Cleansing its Hex Totem will dispel the curse. Endurance: The Survivor is hardened, and can resist a hit. Exhausted: The Survivor cannot performs physically demanding feats of speed from perks such as Sprint Burst, Balanced Landing or Lithe. Exposed: The Survivor is in peril and can be downed in one hit. (Will not show on chainsaw hit) Haste: The character's movement speed is increased. Hemorrhage: The Survivor gushes blood, making them easier to track. Hindered: The character's movement speed is decreased. Madness: The Survivor suffers various mental afflictions including hallucinations and uncontrollable screaming. Mangled: The Survivor is heavily injured and requires more time to be fully healed. The charge meter for items now changes colour when it is being positively or negatively affected. Red for negative affects (charge is depleted quickly) and yellow for positive affects (charge is depleted slowly) BALANCE Hex: Thrill of the Hunt Perk change: Changed values for blood points granted for hunting by 4%/6%/8% to 6%/8%/10%. Changed cleanse time from 4/7/10 to 4/5/6. The increased cleansing time was too high for what we wanted Thrill of the Hunt to do, we've reduced it to more manageable numbers. Open-Handed perk change: Now affects teammates by increasing aura reading ranges by 4/6/8 meter range. Quick & Quiet perk change: Added a cooldown every 30/25/20 seconds. Removed Offerings which gives players addition Bloodpoints from the Kill Your Friends Inventory BUG FIXING Fixed an issue allowing players to equip 2 of the same add-ons in the Load-out Fixed an issue causing infinite loading with a specific item Fixed an issue causing Killers not to get an auditory/visual warning of certain interactions done by Survivors with Quick & Quiet equipped Fixed an issue causing Killers to get stuck in a corner next to the Foundry in Ironworks of Misery Fixed an issue causing Killers to not drop the non-Obsessed Survivors when succeeding a skill check with the perk Decisive Strike Fixed an issue causing Killers to not get the "Destruction" score event when breaking Pallets Fixed an issue causing placed bear traps to sink underneath the ground in Farm themed maps Fixed an issue causing Survivors to be unable to interact with certain Hooks in Treatment Theatre Fixed an issue causing Survivors not to escape when opening the Exit Gates Fixed an issue causing The Doctor's prestige outfit not to appear properly in game Fixed an issue causing the item inventory to display 3/2 when selecting a perk from the 3rd page Fixed an issue causing the Killer to be unable to use a hook with a chest spawned next to it in Rancid Abattoir Fixed an issue causing the Killers camera to clip through walls and lockers when the area was struck Fixed an issue causing the perk Borrowed Time to trigger when being grabbed out of a Locker Fixed an issue causing the items to be lost when using the offering White Ward and the add-on Weaved Ring Fixed various issues with the terrain. Tiles should no longer be visible or have collisions preventing players from going from one to the other. These fixes have been applied to Industrial, Farm and Junkyard themed maps ADDITIONAL CHANGES: Update for Quick & Quiet, we didn't just add a cooldown to Quick and Quiet but rather we've added the much asked for Quiet aspect to our Quick and Quiet. Quick and Quiet will now reduce audio and noise notification range by 100% instead of just noise notification range by 90%. The cooldown was added as we felt like 100% Quick and Quiet is very strong even with a cooldown of 20 seconds. Whispers change was made because we heard that it was too subtle for players. We tried something with the new audio, we'll see how you guys like it or not and gather that information and revise what we do with the audio!
Patch 1.5.2a - 9 June 2017

Patch 1.5.3 - 4 July 2017
FEATURES & CONTENT Feature - New Killer Win / Lose Condition: Prior to patch 1.5.3 Killer win conditions were determined through point gain: less than 7000 bloodpoints gained in a match resulted in losing 1 rank pip, 7000 to 9999 was considered a tie with no rank pips lost, 10,000 to 19,999 was considered a win granting 1 rank pip and finally 20,000 granted 2 rank pips. Unfortunately this did not satisfy most Killers as it does not directly reflect the amount of killing/hooking done in a match. As of patch 1.5.3 our Killer win/lose conditions change to reflect our Killers' visceral game play. Killers need to score Killer Goals to satisfy the entity. For details: Victory Cube Changes BALANCE Four "post-exit" altruism score events have had their values increased by 25%: "Post Exit: Heal" - Heal a Survivor after the exit gates have been powered: 500 altruism points (up from 400) "Post Exit: Assist" - Get in range of a Survivor who is in need after the exit gates have been powered: 315 altruism points (up from 250) "Post Exit: Trap Rescue" - Save a Survivor from a bear trap after the exit gates have been powered: 1250 altruism points (up from 1000) "Post Exit: Hook Rescue" - Save a Survivor from a hook after the exit gates have been powered: 1875 altruism points (up from 1500) Killers can now see the auras of hooks on which Survivors are being sacrificed Old score events have been re-implemented with new diminishing returns and/or hard caps: "Bold" - Exiting a locker while in the Killer's proximity: 50 boldness points Reworked the toolbox add-on "Brand New Part": Brand New Part replaces the "Toolbox Repair" interaction with "Install Brand New Part". This interaction will trigger constant skill checks with large progress rewards. When the interaction ends for any reason, the toolbox is consumed Sacrifice scoring has been reworked: 500 points for hooking a survivor - Scoring Event: Hooked 200 points for beginning the summoning phase - Scoring Event: Hooked 200 points for beginning the struggle phase - Scoring Event: Entity Summoned 200 points for a successful sacrifice - Scoring Event: Sacrifice Completed The offerings "Ivory Memento Mori" and "Ebony Memento Mori" now require a Survivor to have been hooked at least once before they can be killed. The summoning phase and struggle phase of the sacrifice sequence have each had their duration increased to 60 seconds (up from 45). Two existing score events have had their values adjusted: "Map Scout" - Adding an object to the map: 150 objective points (up from 50) "Hex: Ruin Skill Check" - Succeed a skill check affected by Hex: Ruin: 150 objective points (up from 50) BUG FIXING Added missing Teachable perks in Killer tooltips Fixed an issue that allowed the Character Info screen to open when pressing the right arrow key Fixed redundant text in The Hillbilly's Teachable perk "Lightborn"

Patch 1.6.2 - 10 August 2017
FEATURES & CONTENT Added the Charity Case DLC BALANCE "Snap Out Of It" is now classified as a form of healing. This means it is affected by perks such as "Botany Knowledge" or "A Nurse's Calling," status effects such as "Mangled", and other effects concerned with healing.

Patch 1.7.3 - 16 October 2017
FEATURES & CONTENT Added a new head customization for The Nurse Added new Halloween variations of the Flashlight and Medkit Items (can be found in chests and in the bloodweb) Added new menu music for Halloween Added various Halloween accessories (jack-o'-lanterns, candles, lanterns and tombstones) and changed the fog VFX and lighting in the main menu and lobbies BUG FIXES Fixed an issue that caused hooked survivors to drop their item when the killer hit them with the perk "Franklin's Demise" equipped Fixed an issue that caused players to become stuck for the rest of the match when vaulting over the shutter windows in Treatment Theatre (Léry's Memorial Institute) Fixed an issue that caused survivors to become stuck in the hook after being rescued at the last possible moment Fixed some cases where a player could lose their save progress after the game client would lose Network connection Updated the description for perk "Distressing" : The bonus Deviousness points are awarded during the trial, not afterwards. The description has been corrected Fixed an issue that caused players queued for a public lobby to join a Private lobby after the host unchecked the "Friends Only" option in match management Integrated multiples fixes for Russian localization
Patch 1.8.0 - 26 October 2017
FEATURES & CONTENT Removed the Slightly and Moderately map offerings from Bloodwebs and from the Kill Your Friends offering inventory BALANCE Added the ability to unhook a survivor from all possible angles. This is a step towards making the hook a happier place. Adjusted Global Skill Check Chances, we believe they were currently a little too high when no item/perk was being used and we would like to encourage choice through items/perks and addons. As one of the first steps towards a *healthier balance we will be changing the following Skill Check Chances. Heal Other Skill check Chance remains at 15%. Heal Other with Medkit Skill Check Chance remains at 15%. Heal Self with Medkit Skill Check Chance changed from 15% to 12.5% Heal Self without medkit Skill check Chance changed from 15% to 10.5% Repair with a toolkit Skill Check Chance has been changed from 8% to 10.5% Repair without a toolkit Skill Check Chance has not changed, it remains at 8%. Sabotage Hook with a toolkit Skill check Chance remains at 15%. Sabotage Hook without a toolkit Skill Check Chance changed from 15% to 10.5% Increased the time it takes to increase Bloodlust levels from 12 to 15 seconds. It has been brought to our attention that Bloodlust is currently triggering every 12 seconds. This is an error as Bloodlust is intended to trigger every 15 seconds. It is unclear when this issue occurred, Bloodlust should be triggering every 15 seconds as this should give an opportunity for survivors to lose the killer before they reach their next Bloodlust level. Bloodlust is intended to be an option for killers to use and it is not intended to be the answer to all situations. Increased wiggle penalty for dropping a survivor from 25% to 33%. The initial intent was to cause killers to drop survivors after dropping them 4 times in a row. Due to recovery rates killers had 5 drops before the survivor was freed. This change should cause survivors to be freed after being dropped 3 times in a row when dropped in quick succession Reduced "Good" healing skill check success reward from 1% to 0%. Good skillchecks are meant to continue progress as the skillcheck was not failed, Good skillchecks were not meant to advance progress. Reduced the audio levels of The Wraiths growls while cloaked from the survivors standpoint Removed some parts of the railing on the second floor of the Foundry in MacMillan Estate BUG FIXING Adjusted the audio cue when losing an item when the survivor was hit by a killer with the perk "Franklin's Demise" Fixed an issue causing the items to be lost when using the offering White Ward and the add-ons Weaved Ring & Milky Glass Token Fixed an issue that caused The Wraith's poncho to clip into the camera when attacking Fixed an issue that caused items, perks, add-ons, powers, and offerings to have the incorrect inventory type text on the scoreboard Fixed an issue that caused no bonus Bloodpoint rewards when using The Shape's add-ons "Scratched Mirror" & "Vanity Mirror", numbers are currently too high, they will be reduced in the next patch. Fixed an issue that caused placeholder Lore Tips to be displayed on the loading screen Fixed an issue that caused the Killer to become stuck in the boxes on the porch of the Strode house in Haddonfield when performing a window vault interrupt Fixed an issue that caused the chainsaw's rev audio looping when doing a pallet stun on the Cannibal Fixed an issue that caused the perk "Franklin's Demise" not destroying the toolbox add-on "Brand New Part" when survivor is hit while using it Fixed an issue that caused the smoke VFX from the Nurse's Sally of the Lantern cusotmization to reappear before her blink was complete Fixed an issue that caused the smoke VFX from the Nurse's Sally of the Lantern cusotmization to remain visible when looking downwards Fixed an issue that could cause a hooked survivor to become broken for the rest of the match if a survivor got disconnected while unhooking them Fixed an issue that could cause bear traps to float when placed in certain areas in the Grim Pantry map Fixed an issue that could cause players ranks to reset when closing the application Fixed an issue that could cause the match management settings to reset to default after each match in Kill Your Friends Fixed an issue that could cause the non host killer of a Kill Your Friends match to remain in game when leaving the match Fixed an issue that made it impossible for Killers to pick up survivors if they exited the locker in crawl state Fixed an issue that made it impossible to earn the "No One Left Behind" achievement Fixed an issue that made it impossible to interrupt a survivor installing a Brand New Part Fixed an issue that made it possible for a player to remain the Obsession indefintely if they were the Obsession in a Kill Your Friends match as the host survivor Fixed an issue where players were not awarded bloodpoints when partially sabotaging a hook Fixed an issue where players were not awarded bloodpoints when partially searching a chest Fixed an issue where the Halloween™ music was missing when loading into Haddonfield Various localization fixes
Patch 1.8.0a - 27 October 2017
FEATURES & CONTENT Integrated additional analytics support 1.8.0 ERRATA Features & Content: Legacy clothing has been retouched to bring back it's glory Balance: Generator regression % is increase to 100% from 25% Balance: Generator breaking time reduced to 2 seconds from 3 seconds
Patch 1.8.0b - 2 November 2017
FEATURES & CONTENT Added additional analytics support Integrated Simplified Chinese localization for The Nightmare on Elm Street chapter
Patch 1.8.1 - 9 November 2017
FEATURES & CONTENT Content - Added new VFX when failing a generator skill check to wake up Feature - Added a status effect on the portrait of a Survivor who is asleep Feature - Added dissolve VFX on the Nightmare when a survivor is transitioning to the Dream State Feature - Removed the in and out of Dream World transition when The Nightmare performs his memento mori kill. Now survivors who are being killed by the Nightmare will always be in the Dream State BALANCE A bug fix where we made the 0.3 seconds of the attack always play has made all lunges feel longer. In fact we are playing the full attack phase animation allowing the killer too fully swing before playing the blade wipe animation. We have made a tweak this patch where this is not true for the obstruction hit. An obstruction as soon as it is registered will go into the obstruction hit cooldown. Changed the medkit add-ons Needle & Thread and Surgical Suture to have an additive increased skill check chances instead of a multiplicative one. Changed the Surgical Suture Skillcheck chance, increased it from Slightly(3%) to Moderately(5%). English only Increased The Nightmare's terror radius from 16 to 24 meters. Increasing the Terror radius allows for survivors to have more room to maneuver around Freddy without having their aura seen. We've matched the Terror Radius and Lullaby to keep The Nightmare's presence consistent at a base. Increased The Nightmares slowdown when successfully putting someone to sleep from 1 to 3 seconds. The slowdown will be more present and give survivors a slight window to put distance between themselves and Freddy before they are asleep. Nightmare's Red Paint Brush add-on reduces terror radius by 16 meters instead of 8 meters, this is an adjustment since we increased the terror radius to 24 meters as a base for Freddy. Removed the ability to wake up a survivor in crawl state. Now when healed to the injured state they will automatically be woken up. Also applicable when using the Unbreakable perk Survivors with the Adrenaline perk at all Tiers will automatically be woken up from the Dream State when Adrenaline triggers. Adrenaline tiers 1 and 2 gain the ability to heal from dying as well as Tier 1 gains a 5 second sprint on activation. Updated description in English only The Nightmare will now appear twice briefly during the Dream Transition instead of being visible throughout the Dream Transition. This change should help Freddy players to confuse their targets and encourage a disengage and surprise strategy. Tweaked the Dream State VFX when a survivor is being pulled out of a locker when awake. Now the survivor is put to sleep at the beginning of the interaction rather than at the end BUG FIXING Adjusted the brightness when in the Dream State in the Treatment Theatre map Adjusted the collision on some bush asset barriers in Badhman Preschool Adjusted the fire visual effects in the basement of the Badham Preschool Adjusted the shape of the yard of one of the houses in Badham Preschool that caused grass to appear inside the house Fixed a collision that sometimes blocked player movement between the crashed school bus and a rock in the Autohaven Wrecker's theme Fixed an audio and desync issue when the Nightmare performed his memento mori Fixed an issue that allowed a recovering survivor to be able to stack recovering and healing progression Fixed an issue that caused The Nightmare to see the outline of a survivor when they stood in front of a generator Fixed an issue that caused survivors to have the Wake Up prompt when the action wasn't actually available Fixed an issue that caused the Hag's killer stain to appear extremely bright Fixed an issue that caused the Nightmare's hand to bend unnaturally during his memento mori Fixed an issue that caused the Unbreakable perk to be consumed if survivor was holding the Recover button at the same time they were being healed Fixed an issue that caused the destroy pallet audio string to play when the Nightmare damages a generator Fixed an issue that could cause a survivor to fall out of world and die when getting rescued from a hook Fixed an issue that could cause survivors arms to contort when getting unhooked Fixed an issue that could cause survivors to teleport on to the chandelier in the main house in Mother's Dwelling when waking up another survivor Fixed an issue that could cause survivors to teleport to the first floor of the Treatment Room when healing another survivor on the control panel Fixed an issue that made it impossible for all players in the lobby to use the lobby chat after certain symbols were used Fixed an issue that made it impossible to interact with a totem located between a tree and fishing boat in the Backwater Swamp theme Fixed an issue that made it impossible to pass between a hedge and a rock on the Badham Preschool map Fixed an issue that made it impossible to pass between a rock and fence on the Badham Preschool map Fixed an issue that made it impossible to pass between a tree and a trashcan in the Badham Preschool map Fixed an issue that made it possible to get stuck behind a chest in the Badham Preschool map Fixed an issue that sometimes made it impossible for the Hillbilly and the Cannibal to use the chainsaw sprint in the main entrance of the Smokehouse Fixed an issue where achievements tied to leveling up appeared in Steam after closing and restarting the game Fixed an issue where the attack detection phase would be skipped as soon as a target is found. This affects the lunge, and makes it so that the full attack animation 0.3 seconds is played each time you swing, after the attack phase the character will go into the blade wipe, obstruction hit, or miss swing animation. This was done in the Nightmare DLC release. We have now adjusted the obstruction hit to not completely play, please see balance change for more details. Updated the descriptions for all the Medkit items to reflect the healing speed is increased while healing others. English only
Patch 1.8.1a - 14 November 2017
BUG FIXING Fixed an issue causing players to disconnect from the server while transitioning to a lobby through a Survive With Friends group
Patch 1.8.1b - 17 November 2017
FEATURES & CONTENT Content - Integrated an exclusive customization for David King (torso) for the GStar Event
Patch 1.8.2 - 20 November 2017
FEATURES & CONTENT Content - Removed the Halloween themed lobby and menu music Feature - Improved the speed of Bloodweb animations to make the Bloodweb more responsive and easier to use Feature - Removed pop-up when purchasing an element of the Bloodweb, except when showing the content of a Mystery Box BALANCE Adjusted the rate at which the Mystery Boxes can spawn in the Bloodweb. Previously the Mystery Boxes spawned at every level, now it will spawn at levels 3, 5, then every 5 levels. Adjusted the speed curve while channeling The Nightmare's ability: He now moves at 95% speed for the duration of channeling. The movement penalty applied when continually casting the Nightmare's ability was quite intense, we have added a slight reduction to the Nightmare's movement speed when using his ability continually. Changed the overall balancing of the Bloodweb to have a better repartition of items and rarities. We wanted to make the progression in the Bloodweb more rewarding and satisfying when reaching the higher levels Changed the prices of all Bloodweb elements to be based on Rarity instead of position. Price based on position created variance and inconsistency in the value of the rewards. We want players to be able to make choices on what to invest in based on consistent rules. Fixed the interaction & attack block during The Nightmare's power success animation. 0.5 seconds after successfully casting his ability the Nightmare can now attack or interact. Raised the Rarity of Bloody Party Streamers to Rare (previously Common). Bloody Party Streamers used to be Common for the event they were part of, but leaving them as part of the normal game required to raise their Rarity to appropriately reflect their impact. Removed Tiers 2 and 3 of all Daily Rituals and reworked the values to reach for Tiers 1. We want the Daily Ritual to be short, easy to achieve objectives that you can complete every day. Removed the possibility for all Moonlight Offerings to spawn in the Bloodweb. The usage of these Offerings could have a lot of impact on the lighting of each map. We needed more control over the exact lighting we decide to set in each map in order to ensure a good experience, and these offerings were making this harder. Removed the possibility for the "Will O' Wisp" flashlight and "All Hallows' Eve Lunchbox" medkit items to spawn in chests and in the Bloodweb Several changes to to the Rarity of Add-Ons and Offerings : Add-Ons: Odd Bulb and Anti-Hemmoragic Syringe are now Ultra Rare (previously Very Rare) Styptic Agent and Sapphire Lens are now Very Rare (previously Rare). Offerings: Murky Reagent is now Very Rare (previously Rare). Based on the new pricing rules of the Bloodweb, we felt that these items values were superior to what their Rarity suggested. The add-ons Garden Rake, Prototype Claws and Paint Thinner now reduce the speed penalty during the 3 second slowdown after The Nightmare triggers the dream transition on a survivor. Prior to this update, these aforementioned add-ons were reducing the speed penalty while you continually casted. Now these add-ons will strictly be reducing the slowdown after successfully putting a survivor to sleep. BUG FIXING Adjusted the description for the "Risk It All" Achievement Adjusted the text for the Camping Aid Kit to have a considerable healing speed instead of moderately Fixed a couple of typos in the Cannibals torso customization descriptions in English Fixed an issue that caused an impassable gap between 2 rock assets when spawned too close together in Coldwind Farm Fixed an issue that caused an impassable gap between 2 rock assets when spawned too close together in Mother's Dwelling Fixed an issue that caused the Huntress' camera to behave improperly when slashing a suvrivor Fixed an issue that caused the generator explosion and lights to appear when failing / completing an indoor generator in Lampkin Lane or Badham Preschool Fixed an issue that caused the polygons on Nea's tank tops to stretch when viewing a character at a distance Fixed an issue that could cause Ultra Rare items in the Bloodweb to spawn too frequently Fixed an issue that could cause only 1 exit gate to spawn in Azarov's Resting Place map Fixed an issue that could cause survivors to get stuck inside the hill asset when healing Fixed an issue that made it impossible for the Nurse to blink near the ambulance and cross road in Badham Preschool Fixed an issue that made it impossible to unlock the "Risk It All" achievement if the ultra rare item/add-on was lost or consumed Fixed an issue where killers were not fully blinded by a Flashlight inside the houses in Lampkin Lane Fixed an issue where the Nightmare claws played out of sync with the audio from a clients perspective Fixed an issue with the Nurse's Sally of the Lantern head customization VFX that caused her eyes to reappear before her body when blinking Fixed an issue with the textures on the Shape and the Nurse in the front end and in game Tentatively fixed an issue that could occasionally cause no outdoor hooks to spawn in the MacMillan Estate maps. Due to the nature of this issue, it was difficult to reproduce and we will be tracking the status of the issue after this patch to confirm. Tweaked the Flashlight blinding effects on the Nightmare. Was causing slight VFX corruption
Patch 1.8.2a - 22 November 2017
BUG FIXING Fixed an issue that caused Bloodlust display an incorrect status notification Fixed an issue that caused Kindred not to appear in the HUD Fixed an issue where Killers would experience a half second freeze after hooking a survivor Fixed an issue where only 1 perk would appear in the Bloodweb after level 25 (at random) Fixed an issue where the blinding effect from the Killer's point of view would build up more quickly than it should (which made it impossible to avoid being fully blinded) Fixed the placeholder text when viewing the Nightmares add-ons
Patch 1.8.2b - 27 November 2017
BUG FIXING Fixed an issue that could cause 3 exit gates to spawn in the Azarov's Resting Place map
Patch 1.8.2c - 30 November 2017
FEATURES & CONTENT Integrated modified texts from 1.8.2 (The Nightmare Addons Garden Rake, Paint Thinner & Prototype Claws descriptions) (Russian only) Migrated save game data from Steam Cloud / local drive to the Dead by Daylight services for all players
Patch 1.8.2d - 5 December 2017
BUG FIXING Fixed an issue causing players to lose their save game if they did not yet have a profile created on the Dead by Daylight backend servers (If they hadn’t played since May 2017). Fixed an issue that could cause a loss of save game when Steam services goes down.
Patch 1.8.3 - 14 December 2017
FEATURES & CONTENT Added 3 new achievements for the Winter season Holiday Get-Together, Milk 'n' Cookies and Happy Holidays Added a new Winter skin for the Mystery Boxes in the Bloodweb. We are feeling generous this Winter season! The Winter Mystery Boxes will appear at every level of the Bloodweb, and will contain new rewards! The regular mystery box reward with higher rarity tier weighting Multiple versions of the mystery boxes will have cheaper bloodpoints costs Added a new Winter themed head customization for all original Killers Added a new Winter themed skin for the hooks, barrels and lockers in all levels Added a new Winter variation of the Chinese Firecracker item (can be found in chests and in the bloodweb) Added new menu and lobby music for the Winter season Added various Winter accessories (snow piles, lanterns, snowman and blinking lights) and added falling snow in the main menu and lobbies BALANCE Wraith Changes Changed the Wraith's Wailing Bell ringing audio to play up to 24 meters instead of map wide. Survivors, if you hear the bell it means that the Wraith is already decloaking near you! Changed the Wraith's cloaking "woosh" sound to 40 meters, instead of infinite. Add-ons that reduced the Wraith's Wailing Bell audio range have been re-purposed for reducing the Cloaking woosh sound. Survivors, if you hear the woosh, the Wraith is near, but you are not in as much danger as when you hear the bell ringing! Changed the blood pools and VFX from an injured Survivor to be brighter when The Wraith is cloaked. The blood color returns to normal when uncloaked. Cloaking is now faster. Changed speed curve to be 100% of movement speed for 95% of the curve at which it increases to 110% of the Wraith's 4.6 movement speed. (5.06m/s). This should encourage cloaking during chases, we felt that it was rather penalizing to have a cloak reduced movement speed + a uncloak reduced movement speed. Delay uncloaking sound by 1.5 seconds. (50% of the animation). Wraith's, use this delay of audio to try and surprise survivors. Survivors, actively look for the Wraith's shimmer while he is cloaked to make the most out of his decloak time/speed. Increased the time it takes to Burn the Wraith out of invisibility with a flashlight from 1 second to 1.5 Increased uncloaking movement speed and adjusted the uncloak movement speed curve to feel smoother and give less ground to survivors. The decloak gave a lot of room for survivors to put distance between themselves and the Wraith, with these changes Survivors should be actively looking for the wraith shimmer to get a head start. Interacting with a locker while cloaked should force the Wraith out of cloak if he finds a survivor. If he doesn't find anyone he should stay cloaked. Odd Bulb has an adjusted consumption rate, from moderately (24%) to slightly (12%) increased consumption rate. Reduced invisibility Burnout time when a survivor flashlights a cloaked Wraith from 4 seconds to 3 Removed the quicker blind and burn modifiers from the increased flashlight beam effects against the killer, and from increased the power of the flashlight beam add-ons and items as well as simplified the text to reflect these changes(Utility Flashlight, Focus Lens, High-end Sapphire Lens, Power Bulb, Intense Halogen, Odd Bulb and TIR Optic) The Wraith can now damage generators and destroy pallets when cloaked. Doing this will force the Wraith out of invisibility during the animation, and the terror radius will play at full and then fade the Wraith back into invisibility. Perk Changes Bloodhound: Increased Tiers I and II so that all Tiers use the same blood intensity. Shadowborn: Negative effects have been removed, FOV increased to 9/12/15 from 3/5/10. Add-on Changes All Wraith's Common add-ons are now "Soot" add-ons All Wraith's Rare add-ons are now "White" add-ons All Wraith's Ultra Rare add-ons are now "Spirit" add-ons All Wraith's Uncommon add-ons are now "Mud" add-ons All Wraith's Very Rare add-ons are now "Blood" add-ons Add-on Rarity Changes Adjusted the "Blink" add-ons that reduce The Wraiths disappearance charge time to 12.5/50% Adjusted the White and Blood "Windstorm" add-ons for The Wraith's reappearance time to 10/15%.Adjusting the uncloak movement curve, we've made it so The Wraith exits the uncloak at max speed instead of having to accelerate to max speed after the uncloak. This effectively maximizes the Windstorm add-ons efficiency, in compensation we have increased the time it takes to uncloak. Adjusted the range at which the Wraith's Wailing Bell can be heard with the "Coxcombed Clapper" add-on to 40% Adjusted the time it takes for The Wraith to uncloak with the "Swift Hunt" add-ons to 10/15/20% Changed the name of the "Ghost" Soot add-on to "Ghost" White to better fit it's rarity Increased the aura reading range by 2 meters on the "All Seeing" add-ons. These are affected by other aura reading perks. Map Changes Moved the generator in the foundry in the Ironworks of Misery map Re-integrated the adjusted pallet location next to the foundry window in the Ironworks of Misery map Re-integrated the assets outside of the window on the bottom floor of the foundry in the Ironworks of Misery map Bloodweb Changes Mystery Box (Winter Gift) can never contain an Item below the box's Rarity Mystery Box (Winter Gift) prices are half of the box rarity's Reworked the spawn pattern of Mystery Box (Winter Gift) to be 1 at all Levels, and 2 every 5 Levels (except 50) BUG FIXING Fixed a level of detail issue on a specific type of tree in Badham Preschool Fixed an issue that caused Feng Min's Day Off Wrap customization to become transparent while in the Dream State Fixed an issue that caused additional extra bonus Bloodpoint rewards when using The Shape's add-ons "Scratched Mirror" & "Vanity Mirror" Fixed an issue that caused an impassable gap between a rock and fire barrel in the MacMillan Estate maps Fixed an issue that caused the Killers model to obstruct auras (outlines) Fixed an issue that caused the Wraith to be unaffected by the Enduring perk when getting hit by a pallet while cloaked Fixed an issue that caused the Wraiths eyes to remains visible when equipping the All Hallow's Eyes customization Fixed an issue that caused the arrows in Spectate mode to be invisible Fixed an issue that caused the generator repaired bubble not to appear for players when indoor generators in Lampkin Lane and Badham Preschool were repaired Fixed an issue that could sometimes cause motion blur when changing graphics settings Fixed an issue that made it impossible for the Nurse to blink behind one of the houses in Badham Preschool Fixed an issue that made it impossible to properly interrupt a survivor repairing an indoor generator in the Lampkin Lane and Badham Preschool maps Fixed an issue where out of world textures were visible while in the Dream State in the garage of the Wretched Shop map Fixed an issue where out of world textures were visible while in the Dream State in the slaughterhouse of the Rancid Abbatoir map Fixed an issue where the offering Black Salt Statuette had the incorrect rarity Fixed an issue with the perk Beast of Prey, Tiers I and III were marked as 10/30, instead of 15/25 as listed in game. Fixed an issue with the perk Object of Obsession, Tiers II and III were set to 50 meters and 56 meters instead of 56 and 64. Fixed an issue with the perk Quick and Quiet, Tiers I and II were set to 60 and 40 second cooldowns instead of 30/25 respectively. Fixed an issue with the perk Slippery Meat, Tier 1 decreased the escape rate by 25% instead of increasing it by 15%. Fixed the ground textures in Badham Preschool

BALANCE BloodWeb Changes Changed the half price cost of the Mystery Box back to the original values Readjusted drop rates of items from level 25 to 50 The mystery boxes appearance rate is back at what it was prior to the Winter Event. Design Changes Blindness status effect now blocks auras of hooked and downed survivors. (This includes Hex: The Third Seal and Huntress Add-ons) NURSE: After blinking, the Nurse used to have a special attack with different speed values and detection zones. This has been removed. The Nurse will now have a regular lunge after blinking. NURSE: Duration of the blink now depends on the how long the player charged the blink for, rather than the distance traveled during the blink. The time required to fully charge a blink (2 seconds), the maximum distance traveled (20 meters) and the time required to cover that distance (1.5 seconds) remain unchanged. NURSE: Lunge speed has been adjusted: She will now accelerate to a maximum speed of 6.9 m/s during the lunge, like other killers. Previously, her regular (non-blink) attack was slower than other killers due to her reduced movement speed. NURSE: Reappearance time is now much shorter and should be occurring as she blinks, this should remove the feeling that her collision is in place before she is visible, and allow for visual feedback in order to play against The Nurse. NURSE: We've updated how much time it takes to blink and linked this timing to how long The Nurse Blinks. Due to the Blink mechanic improvement, Nurse's are now able to short blink instead of being forced to blink in relation to how long they have charged. Coupling the charge time for how long the nurse will take to displace herself will allows for survivors to always have a similar visual queue and timing to give them time to try and dodge The Nurse. NURSE: We've updated how we calculate where the Nurse Blinks, this change allows the Nurse to blink upwards and downwards with more accuracy. This change has also enabled the Nurse to vary how far she Blinks, allowing her to blink closer when previously she would have committed to the distance she had charged. This will significantly improve the Nurse's ability to Blink. The following points will address the additional balance changes that should counter balance the improved Blink. SCRATCH MARKS: We've adjusted how Scratch Marks are displayed, they should no longer be; showing up on a floor above a survivor and showing up on walls that are opposite of a survivor running. They will still show up under floors when a survivor is running above it. Save The Best for Last's text and functionality has been updated. The successful attack cooldown will not be lost when changing targets during a chase, and will continue to be active as long as a chase is held for more than 20 seconds. Map Changes Added logic that limits the number of generic pallets that can spawn inside the Badham Preschool map to 3. Made the outside pallets procedural. Changed the minimum and maximum number of procedural pallets that can spawn. Global change. Fixed an exploit on the harvester object in the farm theme. Implemented a new pallet management system that allows us to tweak the minimum and maximum number of procedural pallets that can spawn per map. Increased the minimum spawning distance between procedural pallets from 8m to 10m. Global change. Reduced the number of pallets that can spawn on the edges of the Backwater Swamp maps.

It will now properly display with light shading when unobstructed, and dark shading when behind an object. This should make it clearer where the blink will land. Fixed multiple issues that blocked player movement when a survivor was on specific hooks in Treatment Theatre Fixed multiple typos in various Daily Rituals Fixed various impassable gaps in the Badham Preschool map Fixed various impassable gaps in the Coldwind Farm maps Fixed various impassable gaps in the Disturbed Ward map Fixed various impassable gaps in the MacMillan Estate maps Tentatively fixed an issue that could occasionally cause no outdoor hooks to spawn in the MacMillan Estate maps #2.

Updated various Offerings and add-on descriptions to properly reflect their behaviour in all languages
Patch 1.9.1 - 1 February 2018
BALANCE Changed Dead Hard Speed curve. Speed increases to 250% then drops off back to 100% over 0.5 seconds. This is step one of making the speed match the animation (step 2) and the Dead Hard movement easier to decipher from the killer side.

Increased the odds of spawning "openings" instead of walls (or closed doors) for the rooms in Lery`s Memorial Treatment Theater map.

Now all items cannot be used (auras reading, firecrackers, flashlights, healing, repairing/sabotaging) when needing to Snap Out Of It.

Removed the slowdown penalty of holding the bomb (-9% to 0%) Hatch changes The close hatch interaction now automatically completes the remaining generators and powers the exit gates upon completion. Note that this does not actually open the exit gates, and that they will still need to be interacted with by the survivor for 16 seconds with the normal open gate interaction. BUG FIXES Fixed an issue that caused Splinter offerings to appear in the Bloodwebs of owned Killers Fixed an issue that caused the Frosty Eyes head customization to be too bright on the Nurse Fixed an issue that caused the Hag's killer stain to be too big Fixed an issue that caused the Howling Grounds customization items to be missing from players inventory Fixed an issue that caused the Trapper's beard from the Strongman outfit to stay on screen when changing characters/customization items Fixed an issue that caused the VFX from the Clown's bombs to be active in the tally screen/scoreboard Fixed an issue that caused the camera to snap when a Survivor gets interrupted Fixed an issue that caused the hatch to clip into the ground in the Survivor Tutorial Fixed an issue that caused the muddy VFX to appear on screen when a Survivor triggered the Hag's Phantasm traps Fixed an issue that caused the players rank to disappear inside the lobby Fixed an issue that caused the tally screen/scoreboard to become empty when spectating another player Fixed an issue that could cause the Survivor Tutorial becoming blocked when there was no Survivor on the hook Fixed an issue that made it impossible for the Killer to pick up a Survivor who was downed around a specific tire asset in Autohaven Wrecker's Maps Fixed an issue that made it impossible to drop a pallet when holding the Rush action button Fixed an issue that made it impossible to hit Survivor with Huntress hatchets if too close Fixed an issue that made it impossible to hit Survivors with the Hag Fixed an issue that made it impossible to hit a Survivors head with the Clown's Afterpiece Tonic Fixed an issue that prevented the Nurse from blinking in potential basement locations Fixed an issue where hair was not highlighted when stalking a Survivor as the Shape Misc UI and icon improvements Misc customization items improvements (skinning, clipping, etc) Misc stability improvements DEV MESSAGE Our first tests on the PTB with the hatch close mechanic have proved quite promising. We received a lot of varying feedback on the mechanic, and we believe the overall feeling is that the hatch close mechanic in itself solves the hatch standoff, but also comes with it's own set of frustration and issues. One of those issues in particular is a survivor who would be left in the match to complete at minimum 3 generators, in a one survivor versus one killer scenario, we feel like completing generators may be detracting from the main component of the game, the chase. For the next iteration, when the killer chooses to close the hatch, we will complete all remaining generators, powering the exit gates. All end game perks will activate (ie: No One Escapes Death, Remember Me, Adrenaline, etc). The exit gates will NOT open automatically, and will still need to be interacted with by the survivor for 16 seconds in order to open the gate. This is not the final version of the hatch close/ end game mechanic. This mechanic needs to work well with emblems, granting the proper gatekeeper score to killers, adding a scoring event for closing the hatch, in addition to new hatch close text to indicate that the killer is triggering the end game + a series of other changes. This is a test to see if players enjoy this game play and to see what we can do to continue to improve the experience for everyone. The Hatch Close interaction is meant for testing and gathering feedback for the duration of the PTB and will be removed for the 2.0.0 update.
Patch 2.0.0 - 12 June 2018
FEATURES & CONTENT Content - Added a new head customization item for Dwight for players who own the Dead By Daylight: Leatherface™ DLC Content - Added new idle animations for Killers in the offline lobby & store sections Content - Added new main menu music to tie in with the DLC Chapter Content - Added new sounds when Emblems appear in the Tally Screen based on their quality Content - Integrated Simplified Chinese, Japanese and Korean community localization Content - Removed the RedShell third party tool from the game Feature - Added Tutorial levels to explain Survivor & Killer gameplay Feature - Added an in-game Store to purchase characters and cosmetics. The store now also hosts the Shrine of Secrets. Feature - Added the Player Level functionality. This is an account based progression that rewards the player with Iridescent Shards upon leveling up. Feature - Re-designed all confirmation prompts Feature - Updated the main menu and player loadout button layouts to accommodate for the newly added Store and Tutorials. For more details on the Upcoming content and changes, please consult the 2.0.0 Dev Message BALANCE Adjusted the level requirements for unlocking perk slots. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th perk slots now unlock at levels 5/10/15 respectively (down from 15/20/25) Adjusted the red aura intensity for killers on totems, bear traps, hooks and generators. All characters now start with their 3 personal perks unlocked by default (at level 1) Changed hook auras to always be visible from the Killer's standpoint while carrying a survivor. Prior to this change, hook auras would only be displayed if the hook was hidden behind another object. Decreased the Wraith flashlight uncloak stun time from 4 seconds to 3 seconds Decreased the range of activation for the Killer pick up interaction Fixed an issue that caused The Wraith's red stain and terror radius to remain for several seconds after successfully cloaking. This change gives the Wraith the bit of a boost that he needs, and also applies when damaging generators and destroying pallets. Removed the acceleration curve when the Survivor was hit by the Killer. Removing the acceleration curve should allow the Survivors to use their default acceleration and have more control over their character during the speed boost. Removed the possibility of spawning the Doctor or the Hag splinters in the Bloodweb because these characters can now be purchased for Iridescent Shards. MAP ADJUSTMENTS Added a few totem spawn points in the buildings of Macmillan Estate Adjusted Torment Creek and Rancid Abattoir map layouts to create more distance between the maze tiles Changed the number of hooks for each map to be based on its number of tiles (Total Tile Count / 3) Improved totem placement in various maps Pallet loops in the maps of Macmillan Estate, Autohaven Wreckers and Coldwind Farm themes have been tweaked in order to increase their fun factor Relaxed the default Survivor-on-Survivor spawning rules in order to minimize the occurrence of killers spawning close to survivors. Updated pallets within Badham, Hospital and "map" The Game to use procedural distribution system. This should result in a more fair pallet generation. IRIDESCENT SHARDS The shards economy has been reworked completely: Shards are now obtained by leveling up your Player Level The maximum cap for the Shards has been removed Shrine of Secrets teachable perk costs have been increased to 2700/2000 (previously at 750/550). Note that the Shrine of Secrets will remain empty until this update is released on all platforms. Shrine can now be used to purchase certain characters and cosmetics from the Store, in addition to purchasing teachable perks from the Shrine of Secrets. The amount of Bloodpoints received when purchasing an already owned Teachable Perk from the Shrine has been reduced to 200000 / 150000 (from 250000 / 200000) for new and old perks respectively SCORING The following scoring events have had their initial Bloodpoints reward increased but adjusted with diminishing returns when triggered additional times during the game. This will increase Bloodpoints gain in general, particularly for those who were consistently receiving a low amount of Bloodpoints at the end of a trial. Objectives, Coop (increased from 10 to 25) Boldness, Chased (increased from 20/sec to 40/sec) Boldness, Escaped (increased from 250 to 400) Brutality, Hit (increased from 300 to 500) Hunter, Chase (increased from 5/sec to 10/sec) Hunter, Survivor Found (increased from 200 to 400) EMBLEMS Benevolent Increased the starting amount of Benevolent points (from 20 points to 35 points) Lightbringer Reduced the requirement to attain Bronze quality (from 50 points to 30 points) Reduced the requirement to attain Gold quality (from 230 points to 190 points) Reduced the requirement to attain Iridescent quality (from 310 points to 270 points) Reduced the requirement to attain Silver quality (from 130 points to 100 points) Evader Increased the requirement to attain Bronze quality (from 200 points to 230 points) Reduced the requirement to attain Gold quality (from 700 points to 560 points) Reduced the requirement to attain Iridescent quality (from 1100 points to 880 points) Reduced the requirement to attain Silver quality (from 400 points to 380 points) Chaser Increased the requirement to attain Bronze quality (from 550 points to 650 points) Increased the requirement to attain Silver quality (from 1100 points to 1230 points) Reduced the requirement to attain Gold quality (from 2200 points to 1800 points) Reduced the requirement to attain Iridescent quality (from 3300 points to 2550 points) PALLETS Pallet Interaction & Stun Zone changes Adjusted the dimensions of the pallet stun hitbox. The hitbox was larger on one side than the other and encompassed both the standing pallet and the fallen pallet. It has been reduced to only encompass the fallen pallet. Removed the ability to drop a pallet and rapidly cross the zone, what is often referred to as the pallet vacuum. With this change, a survivor will always stay on the same side of the pallet when triggering the interaction. The way survivors drop pallets has changed, the interaction is now input based rather than velocity/ direction based. If you want to drop a pallet from a standstill, you simply need to be on the side of the pallet that you would like to stay after dropping the pallet, and press the drop pallet interaction key. If you would like to drop the pallet on the opposite side of you, as there is no longer a vacuum to take you from one side to the other, you must run through the pallet and press the drop pallet interaction key when you are on the other side of the pallet. *We are looking into fixing an issue where you cannot drop the pallet if you are holding the rush key (SHIFT key on PC) while dropping the pallet. PERKS Dead Hard: Added an new animation to indicate that the perk is active Removed the speed boost from Dead Hard while in the air. This change aims to fix a variety of game hostage issues in multiple maps Balanced Landing: Added sprint of 150% for 3 seconds for all Tiers Sprint causes Exhaustion for 60/50/40 seconds Stagger effects from long falls are reduced by 75% for all Tiers, without cooldown Stake Out: Stake Out's progression is not lost anymore when a token is consumed BUG FIXES KILLER RELATED Fixed an issue that caused Bloodlust to be reset at the end of a Chainsaw Sprint with the Hillbilly. Bloodlust will now reset at the start of the Chainsaw Sprint instead.

BALANCE Adjusted the Killer pick up (Pick up Survivor from ground) speeds to 3 seconds total, down from 4.3 seconds total Changed the Obsession mechanic to show all players in the match who the Obsession is. All players will receive notification when the Obsession is in a chase (animated Entity spikes icon). Changed Exhaustion so it can no longer be recovered while running. Wraith uncloaking: Adjusted the timing of the smoke effect (and its audio) for the Wraith's uncloaking to avoid giving away his position earlier than intended SEASON RESET & RANK PIP CHANGES Players at Rank 15 will not be able to de-rank to Rank 16 From Rank 16 - 20, players will not lose pips or de-rank.

KILLER PERK CHANGES: Bitter Murmur: When a generator is completed, survivors within 16m of that generator will have their aura shown for 5 seconds, when the last generator is powered all survivor auras are shown for 5/7/10 seconds.

Hangman's Trick: Hangman's Trick will now reduce the bear trap re-spawn timer by 60 seconds. Predator: Changed the way scratch marks are distributed - a smaller cone rather than a longer duration. Save the Best for Last: Made the perk token based. Tokens are gained by attacking Survivors who are not the Obsession. Each token is worth a stackable 5% decreased cooldown on successful attacks. Attacking the Obsession makes you lose 4/3/2 tokens. Sloppy Butcher: Added the Mangled Status Effect. 25% increased healing time after being hit in addition to the bleed. Mangled status effects do not stack. Tinkerer: When a generator is repaired to 90%, Killer receives a loud noise indicator and Terror Radius is reduced to 0 meters for 4/6/8 seconds. NOTE: Add-ons are no longer affected by this perk. SURVIVOR PERK CHANGES: Ace in the Hole: 100% chance to find an add-on of very rare rarity or lower, added a 10/25/50% chance to find a second add-on with an uncommon rarity or lower. Calm Spirit: Additional modifier that causes survivors to not scream in pain when: being hit, under the effects of madness or being affected by the clown's bottle.

THE TRAPPER CHANGES: Added a new add-on "Padded Jaws" for the Trapper (Common rarity). Bear traps do not inflict damage to trapped Survivors, and points awarded for trapping Survivors are increased by 100%. Added a new add-on "Trapper Sack" for the Trapper (Common rarity). Start with and allows the transportation of 1 extra bear trap. Changed trap setting time to have a 0.5 open phase, and 0.5 exit phase, previously it had been 1 second each. These times cannot be modified with add-ons. Disarm time is set to 2.5 seconds instead of 1.5 seconds. Loud noise indicators for trap disarm now have global range Sabotaged bear traps will respawn after 180 seconds, similar to the hook regeneration. The regeneration time can be modified with the Oily Coil add-on and with the perk Hangman's Trick. The mid phase animation has been reduced to 1.5 seconds, this can be modified using add-ons. TRAPPER ADD-ON CHANGES Bloody Coil: Changed rarity from Very Rare to Ultra Rare. Bloody Coil: Complete rework: When a Survivor disarms or sabotages a bear trap the Survivor is injured. Survivors are not put into the dying state when sabotaging or disarming a Bloody Coil, they can only be injured from healthy. Diamond Stone: Gave it a new name, Iridescent Stone. New mechanic where every 30 seconds one of the unset bear traps (chosen at random) will become set. Honing Stone: Inflicts dying upon the trapped victim if they free themselves.

The values represent the percentage of points you gained towards reaching the Iridescent Emblem threshold (100%), however, it is possible to receive an Emblem result with an overall percentage greater than 100%. This Emblem results breakdown is intended to give more clarity and transparency to the resulting outcome, and reduce the confusion and frustration that some players feel when they receive unexpected results. THE WRAITH CHANGES After successfully uncloaking, the wraith gains a burst of speed for 1 second, similar to the effect from the Windstorm add-ons. These add-ons have been redesigned. Movement speed while uncloaking has been adjusted. The uncloak exit animation, which lasts 0.3 seconds after finishing uncloaking, can now be cancelled by attacking or interacting with objects.

Feature - Added a direct link to the Customer Support Help Desk in the Help & Tutorial page, as well as on the tally screen. Help Desk can be used to open a ticket with the Customer Support team. This is the place to go if you want to report an issue you have encountered in-game. Feature - Added a new score event: Safe Hook Rescue. The scoring event triggers after a Survivor has been unhooked and not downed for 10 seconds. The Survivor that performed the hook rescue gains the points. This score event helps clarify if / when a safe hook rescue has occurred (for the purposes of Emblem: Benevolent, and new perk, Deliverance). Feature - Added a new status effect for Survivors: Broken. Survivors afflicted with the Broken status effect may not be healed past the injured health state for the duration (similar to the No Mither effect). This status is shown to other players on the character portraits in the HUD. The Broken status effect is applied to Survivors when they successfully use Deliverance to unhook themselves.

Scoring criteria and Emblem results breakdown have been added to the post-match Emblem screen. The values represent the percentage of points you gained towards reaching the Iridescent Emblem threshold (100%), however, it is possible to receive an Emblem result with an overall percentage greater than 100%. This Emblem results breakdown is intended to give more clarity and transparency to the resulting outcome, and reduce the confusion and frustration that some players feel when they receive unexpected results. THE TRAPPER CHANGES: "Trap Buffering" has been reintroduced: A bear trap that is being disarmed will not trap survivors who run over it Disarm Bear Trap time increased from 2.5s to 3.5s THE WRAITH CHANGES: After successfully uncloaking, the wraith gains a burst of speed for 1 second, similar to the effect from the Windstorm add-ons.

Feature - Added additional progress information about the login process on the title screen. BALANCE Disabled all Moon Bouquet (lightest / darkest moonlight) offerings Added the ability to unlock perks in Bloodweb levels 2, 3 and 4 Adjusted the speed thresholds to hit a running vault (fast vault). They should now be more consistent. To hit a running vault, make sure to run straight at the window with at least 2.5 meters of clearance. Added new interaction prompt text for the running vault to make it more clear when to hit the input. It's pretty quick, so keep your eyes peeled. (Herman Carter laughs in the distance) The Spirit's phasing audio has been adjusted: Survivors within the Spirit Husk's terror radius will not hear the phasing sound. Survivors outside the Spirit Husk's terror radius can hear the Spirit's phasing sound, but will not be able to determine its direction. Survivors will no longer be able to hear the Spirit's breathing while she is phasing. Adjusted the spawning rules to reduce the possibility for Survivors to spawn next to a Killer Time to hook a survivor reduced from 2 seconds to 1.5 seconds. The hooking animation has been updated. MAP CHANGES: GLOBAL CHANGES The minimum and maximum hook rules no longer define a random range. They now specify a minimum number of hooks to spawn and a maximum that is allowed to spawn Hooks will now spawn at least 24 meters away from each other (unless the minimum is not reached, no two hooks will be closer than 24 meters). The effects of the Petrified Oak, Moldy Oak, Rotten Oak and Putrid Oak Offerings may have changed due to the above hook changes. Pallets will now spawn at least 16 meters away from each other (unless they are forced by tile logic or unless the minimum is not reached, no two pallets will be closer than 16 meters). Hill Totems are now better hidden. Added a few extra hook spawn points to various building tiles to improve the hook spawn pool which was too restricted. SPECIFIC CHANGES In The Game map, slightly moved or re-positioned pallets to increase their visibility. In The Game map, a new corner tile may appear with a maze on the bottom floor. In The Game map, set the minimum number of pallets to 15. In Haddonfield, all short fences (white picket fences and hedge fences) have holes in them. Only tall fences can completely enclose a yard.

In Pale Rose, made the layout smaller. In Grim Pantry, made the layout smaller. FLASHLIGHT CHANGES: Improved the consistency of flashlight target zones for each Killer (aim at the head!). Improved flashlight feedback to make it clearer when the blind effect is being applied, and when a successful flashlight blind occurs. Reworked the flashlight blind effect that the Killer experiences in first person view (no longer a blindingly pure white-screen effect). New VFX are also applicable for Survivors being blinded with a firecracker item. HEALING CHANGES: Increased the base heal time from 12 seconds to 16 seconds Mangled Status Effect: Reduced the modifier strength from -25% to -20%.

Recover action speed has been increased from 40% to 50%. Recover is a form of healing, and is affected by the base healing time change. It now takes 30.4 seconds to recover to a maximum of 95%. (It previously took 25.5 seconds to recover to a maximum of 85%) SABOTAGE CHANGES: Toolbox Sabotage: Removed efficiency penalty. Previously, sabotaging with a toolbox would use 3 charges per second from that toolbox. Seeing as sabotage is no longer permanent, this efficiency penalty has been removed. Saboteur: Seeing as toolbox sabotage no longer suffers from an item efficiency penalty, Saboteur's toolbox sabotage efficiency bonus has been removed. Saboteur now causes hooks and traps sabotaged by that player to stay sabotaged for an extra 40/50/60 seconds. EMBLEM CHANGES: Devout: Hooking all Survivors at least once in a Trial each awards a minimum of Bronze quality in this Emblem. Chaser: Remaining within a close (16 meters) proximity of a hooked Survivor will reduce the quality of this Emblem over time.

Sole Survivor: Increased aura reading disruption ranges for all levels. Also, the perk icon will now show as activate when the perk is disrupting killer aura reading that would have revealed the player. Leader, Vigil & Streetwise: The effects of Leader, Vigil and Streetwise now persist for 15 seconds after the perk owner is out of range KILLER PERK CHANGES: Hex: No One Escapes Death: Survivors now suffer from the Exposed Status Effect at all levels.

Patch 2.4.0 (PTB) - 27 November 2018
NEW MAP: THE ORMOND SLOPES RESORT Welcome to Ormond, Alberta. Surrounded by an impressive mountain range, The Ormond Slopes Resort now lies derelict. The resort fell into disuse. Ormond’s resort was abandoned to decay, and then became a hideout for gangs of teenagers looking for trouble. Some people say it hid a darkness, a bottomless hole from where no one could return. NEW KILLER: THE LEGION When teenagers get involved with an impulsive mastermind, they discover an addictive kind of freedom. Together, they spiral out of control and become the wrong kind of crowd. Players will choose to embody one of the agile teenagers able to catch Survivors off-guard with their power, Feral Frenzy. THE LEGION’S POWER IS: Feral Frenzy. When active, The Legion can move at a faster rate, vault pallets, and missed attacks have a shorter cooldown. Successful attacks made during the Frenzy apply a new status effect – DEEP WOUND – and reset the power’s duration, allowing The Legion to chain their attacks to multiple Survivors. THE LEGION COMES WITH 3 PERKS: Discordance: Any time 2 or more survivors are working on the same Generator; the Generator's aura is highlighted for a short duration. Mad Grit: While carrying a Survivor, you suffer no cooldown for missed attacks, and hitting another Survivor will pause the carried Survivor’s wiggle timer for a moment. Iron Maiden: You open lockers faster. Additionally, when a Survivor exits a locker, their location is revealed, and they suffer from the Exposed status effect for a while. NEW SURVIVOR: JEFF JOHANSEN Jeff is an artist with a heart of gold. One morning, he got a phone call from Ormond, Alberta. Home. Jeff revisited the home he left behind, but he should never have looked back. JEFF JOHANSEN COMES WITH 3 PERKS: Breakdown: Any time you are removed from a hook (escaped or saved), the hook breaks and the Killer's aura is shown to you. Aftercare: A 2-way link is created between yourself and other Survivors when you cooperate. When you heal or rescue someone, or when someone heals or rescues you, a link is created, allowing you to see each other’s auras across the entire map. Distortion: You start the Trial with 3 tokens. When your aura would be shown to the killer, the perk activates, and a token is consumed. For a short period, your aura will not be shown to the Killer and you leave no scratch marks. DEV NOTES PTB INFORMATION Your personal profile (save data, inventory, currencies) has been copied from the Live servers to the PTB servers at 8:15UTC on November 26th. Any progress or purchases made on the Live servers after this date will not be reflected on the PTB. All progress made during the PTB will not be transferred over to the Live servers. You can leave feedback of your experience here: https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/categories/ptb-feedback 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 (PC Only), as well as Killer specific lighting conditions (The Nightmare's dream world, etc). NEW MATCHMAKING SYSTEM We will be testing a new matchmaking system during the Chapter X PTB. For more info about the nature of this new matchmaking system and when it will roll out on the live environment, please consult this post. DEEP WOUND STATUS With our latest chapter, Darkness Among Us, we are introducing a new status effect to the world of Dead by Daylight: Deep Wound. You may already be familiar with the effect if you have ever been on the receiving end of a Borrowed Time save. The perk, Borrowed Time, has now been updated to reflect this new status effect. Deep Wound indicates that a Survivor has been afflicted with a devastating internal injury and has a limited amount of time in which to be mended before being put into the dying state. Survivors now have the ability to mend themselves, or others, without requiring a med-kit. Just find a safe place to stop running and spend a bit of time repairing those internal injuries. The Deep Wound timer now pauses while the Survivor is in a chase and The Killer is shown a location indicator if the Survivor goes down because of Deep Wound. For these reasons, Borrowed Time’s bleed-out timer has been reduced to 10/15/20 seconds (previously 15/20/25 seconds) before putting the afflicted Survivor into dying state. The portrait icon in the bottom-left of the screen indicates the amount of time the Survivor has before they go down. The screen effects while in Deep Wound have also been modified from the desaturated look of the original Borrowed Time to now incorporate more blood to make it very clear that you are still in peril. FEATURES & CONTENT Feature - Added a new status effect for Survivors: Deep Wound. Survivors afflicted with the Deep Wound status effect need to mend before being able to heal themselves, or be healed by others. Survivors can mend each other. Feature - Added the theme, map and tile information in the Pause menu. This feature is to better help our players and the Dev team when reporting map specific issues. Please be sure to include that information when reporting any map issues. Feature - Integrated an updated version of the Unreal Engine (4.20, from 4.13). Feature - Map Scheduler: Added a server configuration to allow control of map frequency during Online Ranked matches. This will allow us to add or remove emphasis on certain maps or themes during specific periods. Map selection offerings will still normally take precedence over these. Feature - Opening the Store from the offline lobbies will redirect the user to the currently selected character's catalog page. BALANCE UI UPDATES Updated layout for the character information screen. Killer information screens now show basic stats (Max Base Speed, Base Terror Radius, and Height). SURVIVOR PERKS Borrowed Time: Unhooked Survivors are now affected by the Deep Wound Status effect. Changed the Bleedout timer from 15/20/25 seconds to 10/15/20 seconds. VFX have been updated. Please see the dev message: "Deep Wound" for more details. Diversion: Scratch marks will now appear at the location of the loud noise from the pebble. BUG FIXES AUDIO & LOCALIZATION Major localization and translation improvements.

Fixed an issue that caused the wrong LOD to sometimes load on The Spirit's customization. Fixed an issue that made it impossible for the Trapper to pick up Survivors from a bear trap when it was placed too close to a totem.

Fixed an issue that caused the hooks destroyed by a sacrifice not to respawn with the Hangman's Trick perk. MISCELLANEOUS Adjusted lighting across all themes and maps, quality settings (PC Only), as well as Killer specific lighting conditions (The Nightmare's dream world, The Spirit's phase walk, etc). Fixed an issue that caused Survivors to overlap on one another in the match result screen. Fixed an issue that caused Survivors to snap back underneath the hook when unhooking themselves.

Feature - Clicking on an unpurchased character from offline lobby will automatically redirect to this character's store page. BALANCE AUDIO ADJUSTMENTS Changed the lobby music back to the default music. Remixed volume levels for footsteps, music & VOs. Removed the attenuation on VOs and footsteps that were integrated in the 2.4.0 release. KILLER PERK CHANGES: Bamboozle: Updated text to reflect the perk does not work with pallets. Blood Warden: Added a timer on the perk in the HUD to better indicate when and for how long Blood Warden is active. Iron Maiden: Reduced Survivor location notification from 4 seconds to 3 seconds. Spies from the Shadows: Increased the chances of a visual notification to 100% for all tiers. Added crow outline in Loud Noise notification. Increased the notification range from 16/24/36 meters to 32/40/48 meters. Surveillance: Increased audible repair sounds by a distance by 8 meters. Any regressing generators will be highlighted by a white aura. If regression on a generator is interrupted, it will be highlighted by a yellow aura for 8/12/16 seconds. THE LEGION Manually ending Frenzy no longer depletes the remainder of your Power gauge. Reduced the intensity of the blurred VFX during Frenzy. THE PIG Adjusted the Combat Straps add-on in accordance to the crouch duration change, decreased value from 1 second to 0.3 seconds. Changed the Terror Radius fade time for when crouching / uncrouching to fade out/in ~4 seconds, down from 6.6 seconds. Decreased the base crouch and uncrouch duration from 2 seconds to 1.3 seconds.

MAP CHANGES Added extra hooks spawning spots around certain buildings to improve hook distribution. Backwater Swamp: Adjusted height of bulrushes. Backwater Swamp: Increased the spawning probability of the hooks in the center portion of the map to prioritize this portion of the map in favor of the edges.

Grim Pantry: Added a new crow bomb to the map. Procedural System - Added a minimum distance between chests so that jigsaw boxes don't spawn too close together. Procedural System - Hook distribution adjustments: changed the amount and distribution of hooks for each map. Every map now has a baseline minimum distance between hooks, a minimum number of hooks and a maximum number of hooks. *Procedural System - Hook offerings now modify the newly introduced minimum distance between hooks. This distance will ultimately be ignored in the case where the minimum number of hooks requirements are not fulfilled. The effect of each offering is as such: Moldy Oak (Uncommon) = -1.5m, Rotten Oak (Rare)= -2.5m, Putrid Oak (Very Rare) = -3.5m, Petrified Oak (Survivor Very Rare) = +1m. Reduced basement to hook minimum distance to 16 meters. The Game: Added a few extra signs to help players navigate to the stairs. Totem placement improvements: Recent upgrades to the totem interaction method allows the level design team to place the totems closer to other objects and as such, totem placement and hiding spots will be continuously improved starting with this update. STATUS EFFECT UPDATES All status effects that are timer based no longer stack or automatically reset the timer, but rather, take the highest remaining status timer and ignore the other. If the new timer is the higher one, the previous timer is discarded and the status effect icon will visually reset to 100%. If the new timer is the lower one, the new timer is discarded and the status effect icon remains at its current progression. SURVIVOR PERK CHANGES Distortion: Updated text to reflect that this perks effect does not trigger when survivors are in the dying state or affected by traps. Leader: All action speeds, with the exception of repair speed, are increased to 15%/20%/25% instead of 3%/6%/9%. The effect now persists for 15 seconds after the perk owner is out of range. Only one Leader effect at a time. Prove Thyself: For every other Survivor working on a generator within a 4m range, gain 10% repair speed bonus. This same bonus is also applied to all other Survivors within range. Gain 50%/75%/100% more Bloodpoints for coop actions. Only one Prove Thyself effect at a time. Technician: All tiers reduce audible repair sounds by a distance of 8 meters, up from 0/-4/-8. UI UPDATES Hidden Killer Loadout: Removed the ability for Survivors to view the Killers perks, add-ons and offerings in the tally screen during an on-going match. Killer information will be revealed once all Survivors have exited the match. Item Interaction: Items found in chests without already holding an item now require being picked up. This makes the interaction consistent with when you have an item already in hand and allows you to see what you have found before you commit to picking it up. Mori Icon: If The Killer has played a mori offering, the offering's icon will be displayed in the in-game HUD when the conditions are valid and they are standing over a downed Survivor. MISCELLANEOUS Adjusted the Vault mechanic so that survivors come out of the vault with momentum, instead of being set to 0 movement speed after a vault. After seeing the positive reaction to higher rarity items being looted from chests during the Winter Solstice, we've updated chest drop rates to support this after the event ends. Changed the Medium Vault speed to last 0.9 seconds down from 1 second. Created a new Medium Vault animation to distinguish the medium from the slow and fast vaults.
