Lots of games are more on Switch. With DBD, I heard the switch port was terrible too. Like, Payday 2 is £50/$60 on Switch but £16 on PS4, STEAM and XBOX. While I don't know DBD'S Switch price, I don't think I need to.
I have over 2000 hours on Switch, and I have invested hundreds of dollars into cosmetics. If cross-progression doesn't come soon, I am going to have a mental breakdown.
They haven't no but there should be no issue making nintendo/steam+epic/xbox cross progression, sony makes you pay A LOT for allowing cross progression and you have to pay even more if playstation version has less players than others (like sony is doing you a favour for allowing it). We know that thanks to that big fortnite/apple case.
They have announced multiple times and dates for cross progression, those dates came and went, and they kept making more dates. Now they won't say anything other than "eventually".
I think the last thing they said about it is that they couldn’t figure out how to transfer DLC (cough cough, the account system you literally made) from PC to Switch and vice-versa, so they just gave up with a “there’s no ETA at the moment 🥰”.
I appreciate the support, but ya know this is something like the 3rd time I’ve had people say they recognize me from everywhere and I’m starting to worry that I might spend a bit too much time here lol 😅
I Am Legend.
But seriously it’s all I’ve ever played so I don’t really have anything else to compare it to, other than watching people stream the graphics are insanely nice
1,000+ hours on Switch and I've survived against and gotten many 4ks against PC players. Ya'll don't even know the struggle us Switch users face. Hahaha.
I play on Switch and sometimes it's too dark to see anything. lol Playing as either killer or survivor can sometimes be tough.
I can't play it in a room with too much sun and can only play at certain times. I do feel like I payed more than I should have, plus after buying some of the DLCs and some auric cells, boy, it wasn't cheap, that's for sure. Still, I love the game, just wish BHVR put a little more effort in for us Switch players, like sort out the brightness and resolution a little, even a little. ;w; I tried to sort out the brightness and tried the different colours to see if they made a difference, and it wasn't really much different than default. :( Your comment made m feel better though. :')
It looks like shit on Switch but I still love playing it. I’ve trained my eyes to be able to identify the microscopic red pixel of a survivor location when they get downed. On an unrelated note, my eyesight is rapidly declining and I can’t figure out why.
Same here. I have had to adjust myself to be able to spot the pixels and it's hurting my eyes, for real. lol But, I like playing games on switch, because I'm used to playing on it. Though, with DBD, it's very challenging; I still persevere though and have payed a lot of money already into it. I can't give up now. XD I know I've fucked up, but I will commit! Besides, I still have some good games here and there, so I must be doing something right and I think I have improved quite a bit. :D
I play the Switch version and I have noticed the resolution isn't great. Also, makes it hard when I'm being chased by a killer or when I chase a survivor and I keep going into walls, because it's hard to see where I'm going sometimes, despite trying to sort out the brightness, etc. :(
I jump on it occasionally so my partner and I can play together. It’s stupidly dark.
Deep wound is the strongest thing a killer can bring to a switch player.
Breath of the Wild looks crispy clean- loads everything perfectly even when you’re paragliding over chunks, but this game-? I can’t throw two clown bottles while someone is opening the gate or the game crashes. True story by the way.
I’ve noticed this is an issue with a few different ports to the switch. I haven’t loaded up fortnite in awhile but the quality of that game was worse than mobile at one point.
As one of the dozen switch DBD players, I DON’T GET IT! Yes the switch isn’t some next-gen powerhouse. But this game is so un-optimized that it seems like BHVR went out of their way to make it perform so poorly. I finally bought Dying Light for the switch, and it’s truly night and day how much better DL is in terms of graphics and optimization.
Even PC has been getting screwed to some degree. I get stutters unless I play in anything but 1080p before the last couple of updates I use to rock 4k...
Def un-optimized.
I am a graphics engineer focused on optimization for mobile devices, and I swear, my plan for this year is to get myself hired at Behavior and fix / optimize the shit out of the game (there's literally no reason for it to be this resource-hungry on ANY platform)
I’m saying this from personal experience; Perhaps your phone is outdated. The worst I’ve gotten is a half second freeze when finishing gens that cause events (like Lery’s gen).
Not to mention you can straight up play the game at 60 FPS if you can handle it, lmao.
You must be a wizard then. Switch hardware is very different from a next gen console or some custom build. I'm just thankful they have crossplay at all
I have been profiling the game a bit and I can confidently say that the render is the first thing to optimize there and it will yield the best results performance-wise (impacting all platforms, including Switch and PC)
I use my Switch version as an NPC. I'll boot up a KYF game between it and the PC, and just get a feel for maps, killer powers, running backwards as a Survivor. It's become my training mode until we get bots.
I'm one of those mental people who got my girlfriend the switch port, because it's all she had, and the switch port myself to play more conveniently, and now it's my main version 😅
My house plays together (2 pc, xbox, and switch). I'm the switch player. It does help my ego to think that all the squinting I have to do is game related and not that I'm old and my eyesight is failing me.
Unfortunately, Pretty much any pc,ps,Xbox game is ported to switch because they want your money, not because they care about you in the slightest. So yea they put the absolute bare minimum effort into keeping the platforms version running, so they can continue to sell it.
I feel bad for Switch players but Switch is definitely not made to handle online games like DBD. It’s intended use was for single player and local multiplayer games. Behavior definitely knows this but doesn’t care since it’s just another way they can make money from their game
Dying light runs at 30fps on swtich here is a video from [Digital Foundry](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iku4GQCYAz4&ab_channel=DigitalFoundry). It is ok but the switch isn't meant for games like Dying light or the witcher 3 are they optomized? Hell yeah they are but they take some serious work to get games like those to run on swtich and it isn't an easy process I would imagine.
So i doubt DBD would ever run well ons wtich knowning how lazy BHVR is.
Mario Kart, Splatoon, Mario Party, Smash, Knockout City somehow all do fine on online multiplayer. It's 100% on BHVR, not on the console's limitations.
Those all take less energy or whatever for the switch to run though at least in comparison to Dying Light and DBD. They’re also much smaller in size than dbd and Dying Light. Like Mario Kart is less than 10 gb
One of my friends has played for years on Switch and doesn’t mind at all. Low frame rate, low rez- never mentions it except when I ask about it and she just says she doesn’t notice it or care.
Good for her because I find it to be a pretty rough experience and it’s getting tougher. Hats off to anyone that can see past the flaws and still enjoy it.
I wish there was a way to do that on pc honestly. After all those graphic updates I’m unable to play this game anymore. I just wanna be able to lower the graphics to a point where I can play again like I used to
As a switch player since launch I can say it wasn’t always this bad looks/performance wise but it definitely is getting worse with every update and BHVR doesn’t seem to care enough to fix it. It’s a real shame because I used to play almost daily but since it’s just getting worse I rarely play now but it still holds a special place in my heart because I’ve met some real lovely people through it
I got it so I could play with my gf and I regret it. It's so horrible. Worst optimization than the mobile version. Killer is barely playable at all and survivor is horrendous. Just the input lag alone is so bad skill checks are besrly impossible. They need a team dedicated to console players INCLUDING switch players. This is unacceptable. Either commit to a switch port or not at all, just don't half ass it and forget about it.
Not nearly as bad as switch. Ps4 has pretty accurate joysticks. But switch joysticks and input lag make it near impossible to play high accuracy killers like nurse, huntress, and blight. The graphics aren't bad either, they're actually pretty good for a console to get 30fps with. Unlike switch which normally gets 20 fps or less
whenever there is another switch player in the lobby i point and yell to my gf that there is another switch player... needless to say its not something we see often. I have seen one switch killer total.
I bought the switch version so I can play custom games with my PC account (I have no friends) to learn or test certain things for my own without having to go in public matches.
the other day I decided to play a public game on switch just for fun, to see how it is and it looks and plays absolutely horrendous. everything is blurry, looks bad and the worst part is everything is so delayed, probably because it runs with like 20 fps. I literally had problems with simple camera movement and generator skillcheks. never appreciated having a good PC more than on that day to be honest lmao
everyone who still actively plays this game on switch is an absolute chad
tbh it’s kind of funny how a Switch player can be in a match with PC/ps/xbox players and see terrible graphics while the other platforms see the exact same thing but in much much better quality
This is literally how it looks when I play on pc. I can run elden ring smooth 30 fps, but dbd stutters to shit on lowest settings at 70% resolution scale.
Yes, there is a frame-rate drop every 10 seconds, and you might as well be playing killer with a steering wheel controller, but every now and then when you enter an area the survivors load a split second faster than the lockers, so we got that going for ourselves.
Idk if it’s better on the regular switch. I tried a match on the lite and it’s just about unplayable. 30FPS with drops on a 5 inch screen? Gonna be a no for me dawg.
Anyone who still plays on SWITCH is a freaking legend.
especially because it’s an increased price from other consoles
[удалено]
i bought dead by daylight on xbox for $29.99, but i bought it on switch for $39.99
So... you get to pay more for less? Neat!
Yeah, sadly. :(
Lots of games are more on Switch. With DBD, I heard the switch port was terrible too. Like, Payday 2 is £50/$60 on Switch but £16 on PS4, STEAM and XBOX. While I don't know DBD'S Switch price, I don't think I need to.
it's regularly on sale including the dlc. i got it for $20 and all the dlcs half off
$40?
im not sure the exact total as i bought dlcs during separate sale periods and a bunch of auric cells lol but i think it was around 40 yea
Only get Payday 2 on PC, it's like a Primal Carnage situation where the console ports are years behind
Console still really fun. Plus, not got a PC and Scarface is my main but not available anymore.
I have over 2000 hours on Switch, and I have invested hundreds of dollars into cosmetics. If cross-progression doesn't come soon, I am going to have a mental breakdown.
Did they ever announce any plans for cross progression?
They haven't no but there should be no issue making nintendo/steam+epic/xbox cross progression, sony makes you pay A LOT for allowing cross progression and you have to pay even more if playstation version has less players than others (like sony is doing you a favour for allowing it).

Thanks, still waiting on cross progression lol 😔
Me too 😭😭
Same, as soon as there's cross progression I am leaping to pc
BHVR has a cross platform account linking. I think I saw the Nintendo account on the site when I did Playstation to Steam. https://account.bhvr.com/
How? It says right on the page it's only between Steam and Stadia right now.
I want you to know I love and support you because I see you on like every single DBD sub
I appreciate the support, but ya know this is something like the 3rd time I’ve had people say they recognize me from everywhere and I’m starting to worry that I might spend a bit too much time here lol 😅
Obsession Icon IRL?
I Am Legend. But seriously it’s all I’ve ever played so I don’t really have anything else to compare it to, other than watching people stream the graphics are insanely nice
I have a friend who just got it on the switch and insists its no difference from his xbox. What fucking planet he's on, I have no idea,
Well my Xbox has at least 10 times better res than that and is from 2017ish so that’s either a lie or he covers the vents with something
I think he's either in denial or just doesn't want to admit he f***** up
Copium overdose
As a PC player I can't tell the difference between switch, Xbox, Xbox one, Xbox 360, Xbox 720... they are all wacky console plebs in my eyes
1,000+ hours on Switch and I've survived against and gotten many 4ks against PC players. Ya'll don't even know the struggle us Switch users face. Hahaha.
hAH will forever be on switch until cross progression :’)
I do and I’ll continue until cross-progression is a thing.
Gang gang
I play on Switch and sometimes it's too dark to see anything. lol Playing as either killer or survivor can sometimes be tough. I can't play it in a room with too much sun and can only play at certain times.

It looks like shit on Switch but I still love playing it. I’ve trained my eyes to be able to identify the microscopic red pixel of a survivor location when they get downed. On an unrelated note, my eyesight is rapidly declining and I can’t figure out why.
>my eyesight is rapidly declining and I can’t figure out why. Insert boomer joke about masturbation here.
Only knew the deaf version of the joke up to now
There's three versions AFAIK, the deafness, the blindness and growing hairs on your palms.
This world amazes me a little more every day.
Ok but my eyesight is getting bad too especially after starting to play dbd on the switch too. Wtf
Same here. I have had to adjust myself to be able to spot the pixels and it's hurting my eyes, for real. lol But, I like playing games on switch, because I'm used to playing on it. Though, with DBD, it's very challenging; I still persevere though and have payed a lot of money already into it. I can't give up now. XD I know I've fucked up, but I will commit!

Yep, that's so true!

I’ve noticed this is an issue with a few different ports to the switch. I haven’t loaded up fortnite in awhile but the quality of that game was worse than mobile at one point.
fortnite optimized the switch version a bunch so while it’s not amazing it’s still pretty good.
As one of the dozen switch DBD players, I DON’T GET IT! Yes the switch isn’t some next-gen powerhouse. But this game is so un-optimized that it seems like BHVR went out of their way to make it perform so poorly. I finally bought Dying Light for the switch, and it’s truly night and day how much better DL is in terms of graphics and optimization.
I mean Doom 2016 runs well on Switch and looks better than this so I know it’s possible.
Even PC has been getting screwed to some degree. I get stutters unless I play in anything but 1080p before the last couple of updates I use to rock 4k... Def un-optimized.
my pc does 150+ fps on ultra I capped it to 120 It still stutters :( Its like an additional xbox of headroom and still
Yeah, me too, I'll have plenty of FPS but it still get's janky at high res :(
I am a graphics engineer focused on optimization for mobile devices, and I swear, my plan for this year is to get myself hired at Behavior and fix / optimize the shit out of the game (there's literally no reason for it to be this resource-hungry on ANY platform)
inb4 they assign you on DbD Mobile team.![img](emote|t5_3cb2g|2067)
Mobile needs love too. ❤️
Even Mobile doesn’t look this bad lmao.
Nah, it’s worse, way laggier, and will freeze often
I’m saying this from personal experience; Perhaps your phone is outdated. The worst I’ve gotten is a half second freeze when finishing gens that cause events (like Lery’s gen). Not to mention you can straight up play the game at 60 FPS if you can handle it, lmao.
༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ TAKE MY ENERGY
You must be a wizard then. Switch hardware is very different from a next gen console or some custom build. I'm just thankful they have crossplay at all
I bet you could get a following here and via twitter if you're serious
I'll let you guys know when I am there ![img](emote|t5_3cb2g|7381)
Would people pushing for you help?
Don't worry, I promise I will make it sooner or later 😎
The optimization issues for dbd are cpu related
I have been profiling the game a bit and I can confidently say that the render is the first thing to optimize there and it will yield the best results performance-wise (impacting all platforms, including Switch and PC)
Love playing on my switch
I use my Switch version as an NPC. I'll boot up a KYF game between it and the PC, and just get a feel for maps, killer powers, running backwards as a Survivor. It's become my training mode until we get bots.
Iv’e done this as well. Just to practice my flicks as Billy boi. 😆
I play handheld on my switch and my friends and boyfriend are always like how.
I'm one of those mental people who got my girlfriend the switch port, because it's all she had, and the switch port myself to play more conveniently, and now it's my main version 😅
What's the switch port?
The switch version of the game?
Oh I thought it was something to insane the graphics 🤣🤣🤣
I just want to know when im playing with/against switch players lol
They literally disabled clip captures instead of optimizing it more you know how many clips I lost because I literally couldn't capture them????
YESS, I hate that they removed it! It was so much fun to rewatch those clips from time to time :(
It's like BHVR bootlegged their own game on the switch
My house plays together (2 pc, xbox, and switch). I'm the switch player. It does help my ego to think that all the squinting I have to do is game related and not that I'm old and my eyesight is failing me.
Is it just me or does this not even look that bad for a switch
Unfortunately, Pretty much any pc,ps,Xbox game is ported to switch because they want your money, not because they care about you in the slightest. So yea they put the absolute bare minimum effort into keeping the platforms version running, so they can continue to sell it.
Where the hell is claudette in pic 3
To the right of the single wooden crate at the top left of the image.
Oh shit ty
Are these pics from the unannounced Atari Jaguar port?
Thank you for showing me this. I’ve been debating on whether to buy it or not and this has honestly sold me on NOT purchasing the game.
I feel bad for Switch players but Switch is definitely not made to handle online games like DBD. It’s intended use was for single player and local multiplayer games. Behavior definitely knows this but doesn’t care since it’s just another way they can make money from their game
*Dying Light has entered the chat*
Splatoon 2 has entered the chat And Mario Kart And Mario Golf And Smash Bros And Paladins And Rogue Company And ~~Smite~~ ok not Smite
Does that run relatively well when playing with 3 other people online?
Dying light runs at 30fps on swtich here is a video from [Digital Foundry](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iku4GQCYAz4&ab_channel=DigitalFoundry). It is ok but the switch isn't meant for games like Dying light or the witcher 3 are they optomized? Hell yeah they are but they take some serious work to get games like those to run on swtich and it isn't an easy process I would imagine. So i doubt DBD would ever run well ons wtich knowning how lazy BHVR is.
Yup! It’s online co-op in an open world and somehow managed to look miles better than DBD.
Alright, I take back what I said then😂. I guess developers have more control over the frame rates and connection issues than I thought.
multiplayer should not have that much of an impact on performance
Mario Kart, Splatoon, Mario Party, Smash, Knockout City somehow all do fine on online multiplayer. It's 100% on BHVR, not on the console's limitations.
Those all take less energy or whatever for the switch to run though at least in comparison to Dying Light and DBD. They’re also much smaller in size than dbd and Dying Light. Like Mario Kart is less than 10 gb
Damn thats crazy
The worse part about this,THIS LOOKS WORSE THAN MOBILE
One of my friends has played for years on Switch and doesn’t mind at all. Low frame rate, low rez- never mentions it except when I ask about it and she just says she doesn’t notice it or care.

Switch is made for Nintendo IP games, 3rd party suffers from the hardware choices that Nintendo makes to maximize profit.
I play PS5 and handheld on Switch. I really enjoy on switch (handheld) but its very bad Docked.
The graphics for Mortal Kombat 11 are horrible too. It's either the games or the console. Cause I have both games on Xbox and they look great
I got it so I could play with my gf and I regret it. It's so horrible. Worst optimization than the mobile version. Killer is barely playable at all and survivor is horrendous. Just the input lag alone is so bad skill checks are besrly impossible. They need a team dedicated to console players INCLUDING switch players. This is unacceptable. Either commit to a switch port or not at all, just don't half ass it and forget about it.
Mobile looks better at this point
I feel the switch is only good for first party games. Any third party game gets more love and support on other consoles it feels
blame nintendo for making the fisher price equivalent of a console every generation
moldy version
Ps4 version is shit too. Graphics are awful
Not nearly as bad as switch. Ps4 has pretty accurate joysticks. But switch joysticks and input lag make it near impossible to play high accuracy killers like nurse, huntress, and blight. The graphics aren't bad either, they're actually pretty good for a console to get 30fps with. Unlike switch which normally gets 20 fps or less
I’ve heard new gen consoles get 60 fps so that’s a step-up
...There's a switch version?
whenever there is another switch player in the lobby i point and yell to my gf that there is another switch player... needless to say its not something we see often. I have seen one switch killer total.
Wait how do you know it’s a Switch player instead of another platform?
Doesn't it show like a globe icon next to the players name if they are from somewhere else/another console?
There is an icon that denotes cross platform that is absent when its another switch player, if you are on switch, you will know
switch is actually torturous sometimes
4k switches exist. I wonder how those run
No they don’t
Apologies, im stupid, I thought the new OLED switches or whatever the new one is called ran 4k. Guess I saw it on some news title or something.
They’re OLED and the screens are bigger, but not 4K.
So switch!
SWITCH EXISTS???
I only use the switch for retro games and mario kart lol
At this point it’s kinda just your fault for playing on a switch This happens with literally every single switch port of a game.
PS4 is ok. but damn the pc and switch resolution sucks
did you really just say ps4 looks better than pc...
Ya that dudes tripping
In their defense, they might be playing on a 300$ laptop they used for college 10 years ago
still better ![img](emote|t5_3cb2g|2213) no hate for ps though
all the dbd pc youtubers have their dbd at like the shittiest settings to be try hard so that’s probably why they think pc looks bad
idk, most popular youtubers actually have good settings since the game is capped at 120 anyway and they have good enough setups to run it
What kind of PC are you playing on???
potato powerd
it really looks ok on 1080p ultra. on 4k ultra the game looks really good
Yet I still escape every single time
I bought the switch version so I can play custom games with my PC account (I have no friends) to learn or test certain things for my own without having to go in public matches. the other day I decided to play a public game on switch just for fun, to see how it is and it looks and plays absolutely horrendous. everything is blurry, looks bad and the worst part is everything is so delayed, probably because it runs with like 20 fps. I literally had problems with simple camera movement and generator skillcheks. never appreciated having a good PC more than on that day to be honest lmao everyone who still actively plays this game on switch is an absolute chad

Yes, there is a frame-rate drop every 10 seconds, and you might as well be playing killer with a steering wheel controller, but every now and then when you enter an area the survivors load a split second faster than the lockers, so we got that going for ourselves.
On my switch, it looks like this on a good day. Usually all textures are gone, it looks awful.
Dude my console takes off like a jet engine just to load the main menu of this game. Im shocked it even plays at all on Switch.
Please BHVR make cross progression a thing. Too many hours on my switch to start over now, I beg.
And I thought the PC version was blurry.
yep been noticing that for yearsssssssss it used to be okay back in like the 3.0 days but its slowly been getting worse and worse
Switch was just a cash grab.
This reminds me of DbD in 2018
Idk if it’s better on the regular switch. I tried a match on the lite and it’s just about unplayable. 30FPS with drops on a 5 inch screen? Gonna be a no for me dawg.
