Alright, so here’s the thing. Dead by Daylight just slapped some new updates—9.1.1, if we’re counting—and you bet it’s all over both PC and consoles. Wait, so there’s this new Walking Dead chapter they rolled out, right? Typical stuff, gotta smash those bugs.
Anyway. I saw this picture, random thought, like why do the survivors always look like they’ve just seen a ghost? Maybe they did, but who knows. The Walking Dead crew joined on July 29th, not yesterday, and brought along some shiny new stuff. Two survivors and some kinda epic outfit—yeah, that’s the headline. But, as usual, it’s got issues. Typical day in gamer paradise, right? So, Behaviour Interactive’s like, “Let’s fix this.” Which meant launching patch 9.1.1, jam-packed with tweaks.
Oh, and another thing—they patched 10 high-priority bugs. Imagine, Killers couldn’t even start chases. I’d complain, but hey, they fixed it. They also fiddled with perks, animations, and even the copyrighted music issue messing with creators. Copyright’s a tricky beast, am I right?
Okay, back to the Fog Vial. That thing’s annoying powerful, if I remember right. Now, its visibility is cut from 40% to 33%—imagine trying to see through that! Plus, they dialed down the fog volume by 3 dB. Props to them there. Just the ambient noise, though. Inside the cloud, still the same chaos.
The Fog Vial changes didn’t stop there—a specific add-on got whacked with the nerf stick. Potent Extract? Cut down from 10% to 5%. But hey, max size and lifetime? No changes…yet.
Oh, and I’m betting—because history likes to repeat—that we’re getting another bug-fixer before more content. September might bring a fresh Killer and Survivor—October’s for another Rift thing, then November’s the big licensed chapter release, so they say. This roadmap’s legit.
Patch notes? Let’s hit the highlights without losing track (pretty sure I’ll miss something anyway):
– Killers couldn’t chase? Fixed.
– Chase music was silent? Not anymore!
– Streetwise and Last Stand perks were impacted. But now? Back in the game.
– The Fog thing got some tweaks. Already said that but worth repeating.
– Couldn’t vault? Sucks for you, but it’s fixed too.
– Missing animations. Voila, they’re back.
– Black screen on spectate? Poof, gone now.
I could babble about more fixes, but let’s keep it short(er). Audio, character animations, environment issues—you name it, they fixed it.
I swear if you’ve endured to the end—what were we talking about? Dead by Daylight update, oh right, that one. Hey, the full notes are out in the wild if you’re into that kind of reading.
And, there you have it, a glimpse into Dead by Daylight’s latest chaos. Exciting, right? Or am I the only one?
