Dead by Daylight: The Entity Demanded Hotfix Buffet

The patch notes for Dead by Daylight update 9.1.1 were finally released by Behaviour Interactive, who directly responded to significant player backlash concerning bugs and balance issues introduced in the previous week’s major update. On the official Dead by Daylight website, the development team provided a comprehensive breakdown of these new fixes. Given the technical problems in the previous update, did the team fully address these issues this time around?

Patch 9.1.1: Dead by Daylight’s Therapy Session

Merely one week after update 9.1.0 launched across PC and console platforms, this dedicated bug fix patch arrives to long-awaited glee. For Dead by Daylight fans, this update was long overdue and is welcomed by the community. Update 9.1.0 delivered highly anticipated content, including representation from The Walking Dead franchise. Among these additions, the patch comes with substantial map changes and numerous balance adjustments for various Survivors and Killers. Although players initially welcomed these additions and tweaks, some within the community quickly encountered severe difficulties focusing on the positive aspects. So, what caused this shift in sentiment?

It’s reasoned that the content update unintentionally introduced several new, game-breaking exploits alongside Dead by Daylight‘s fresh content and balance changes. Consequently, the intended improvements were completely overshadowed by widespread reports of crashes, progression blockers, and unfair gameplay advantages. Across various forums and social media, player frustration mounted rapidly, demanding swift corrective action from Behaviour. With the newly released patch notes for update 9.1.1, these critical issues can be targeted specifically, which aims to restore stability and address the most disruptive exploits identified by the community since the last patch.
