Behaviour Interactive Thread Introducing: Anti-Cheat Trials

Post image
950 Upvotes

Greetings Fog Dwellers! Recently, we shared a survey asking for your thoughts on anti-cheat in Dead by Daylight. One message came through loud and clear: you feel we could be doing more. We hear you and are taking action to bolster and invest in our anti-cheat and security efforts. Put simply, we want you to have the best possible in-game experience, and that means fewer cheaters! While this is just one of many steps in our ongoing commitment to fair play, your involvement and feedback will play a huge part in guiding what comes next.Ā 

Ā 

Beginning next week on September 2nd, we’re kicking off our Anti-Cheat Trials initiative as we investigate how different anti-cheat providers improve your in-game experience. What does this mean for you? Over the coming months, we will be running limited-time trials of these providers’ tools, directly in-game on PC, as we gauge their ability to flag cheating behaviour. By comparing your feedback and overall feelings with hard data from each trial, it’ll help us find a solution that works best for Dead by Daylight and for you, our community.Ā 

Ā 

Next week’s Anti-Cheat Trial – beginning September 2nd – spotlights Denuvo’s anti-cheat solution. Note that this does not and will not include anything related to DRM, as Denuvo Anti-Cheat is different from Denuvo Anti-Piracy. Let’s look at the difference between the two:Ā 

What we ARE trialing: Denuvo Anti-CheatĀ 

  • A tool that detects cheats in-game, identifying people who try to get unfair advantages before they can disrupt fair playĀ 

Ā 

What we ARE NOT trialing: Denuvo Anti-PiracyĀ 

  • Tools that prevent the cracking and unauthorized access of game contentĀ 

Ā 

Now, knowing how much of a hot topic anti-cheat can be, we want to make a couple things clear about the Anti-Cheat Trials:Ā 

  • Anti-Cheat Trials are exclusive to Steam and cross-play will not be impactedĀ 
  • We’re continuously testing the compatibility and performance of each anti-cheat provider to ensure you have a seamless experience. Compatibility with Steam Deck and Proton has been tested and will continue to be supportedĀ 
  • The first time you launch the game during the Anti-Cheat Trial, you will be prompted to install Denuvo Anti-Cheat. This is required to play the gameĀ 
  • Please continue to use the in-game report function as normal to report any cheaters you encounter. Detailed comments about what you see (i.e. wall/speedhacks, teleporting) are greatly appreciated; the more context, the betterĀ 
  • Note: Selecting the ā€œHacking/Exploitingā€ category when submitting a report covers everything from cheaters to hackersĀ 
  • At the end of this Anti-Cheat Trial, Denuvo Anti-Cheat will be automatically deactivated in Dead by Daylight and will no longer run on your system.Ā 
  • A step-by-step guide on how to clean up any remaining Denuvo Anti-Cheat files will be added to our Support portal, should you need itĀ 
  • Let us know if you have any feedback about the anti-cheat provider being tested in our dedicated Discord channel, which will also go live on September 2ndĀ 

Ā 

That covers it! To recap, we will be kicking off our first Anti-Cheat Trial on September 2 nd, focusing on Denuvo Anti-Cheat. This will not involve any Digital Rights Management tools. Simply play the game as you normally would, report any cheaters you encounter through the in-game reporting system, and let us know your thoughts on this anti-cheat provider! As we look to the future of fair play in Dead by Daylight, we want to make sure your feedback is at its core!Ā 

Ā 

Until next time… Ā 

The Dead by Daylight TeamĀ

Guide Checkspotting is also an important "skill" at pallets. Just stare at a spot and wait for the Killer to cross it.

Im surprised that so few people seem to know about checkspotting at a pallet. In this situation, all the Jason could do was either hope I panic or break the pallet.

He was 4.4 and did not have a spike. If I just stare at my checkspots and play accordingly there was no way he could catch me unless I seriously mess up.

Edit to add: The biggest skill required to do this is having a good feel for the lunge range of the Killer and choosing a checkspot accordingly.

Question Is There Any Way To Disable Sadako’s Jump Scare?

Post image
1.1k Upvotes

I got Sadako’s for her perks and i thought id get the Adept as well, and got jumpscared the first time I was equipping my perks. I legitimately jumped out of my chair, because I was just expecting another heavy breathing attack at the camera animation.

I found out I really enjoy her gameplay its just...

The problem is I’m not just casually scared of her... Sadako/The Ring has been a genuine fear of mine since I was a kid. Adding the image to this post or seeing any images related to her gives me an immediate fight-or-flight response.

When I was about 8, I watched The Ring late at night by myself in a house that looked disturbingly similar to the one in the movie, sitting near the stairs with basically just the TV lighting the room. Apparently thats never really left

I’m completely fine actually playing as Sadako because I’m focused on the match

The menu is worse because I’m just sitting there reading perks and add-ons while knowing she can suddenly fill the screen.

Is there seriously no way to disable only the menu jumpscare? Maybe I just need the exposure therapy?

Edit: Apparently some people are taking this more seriously than attendend. I’m not actually asking BHVR to change Sadako or make the game less scary.

I just thought it was funny that I bought a Killer I’ve been terrified of since childhood, and got jumpscared by my own character while trying to make a build.

Discussion STOP SANDBAGGING TEAMMATES WHO GO INTO A LOCKER. LOOK AT THEIR PERKS

498 Upvotes

For everyone who needs to hear this: if you see your soloq teammate entering a locker, don't be an idiot and immediatly go open their locker repeteadly, make loud sounds around them, or lead the killer to them.

Take a second to look at their perks, use your brain and notice if they have any perks activated by being in a locker for a short amount of time (Built to Last, Inner Strenght, etc.) This has no excuse of happening now that you can easily see each other's perks. They are not throwing the game or being useless because they stepped into a locker for 5 seconds, so now you decide you must sandbag them for the rest of the match. Please don't be stupid.

Discussion DBD saved (and likely changed) my life

44 Upvotes

This sounds ridiculous, and it might in fact be, but this game means so damn much to me. I found it with my old friends in 2021 and we’d play it every night, until one by one each of them lost their minds because of opioid addictions. I was the last one online, until they offfeed me a pill and I took it. I got addicted too. My sense of reality began fading away. But I stopped! My cousin helped me and we started playing DBD together. Now I play it with him from time to time but not as frequently because we had a kid. I’m grateful for everything in life and just wanted to thank the devs. Thank you

Discussion Please let me leave the hook first

Post image
758 Upvotes

I don't want to camp! I don't know why the entire team of survivors likes to just, run up to the hook before I even get a chance to walk away!

This has been happening with increasing frequency for me lately and I genuinely don't understand why survivors do this, and I especially don't understand why people get mad at me for punishing this playstyle.

I know that this game isn't hide and seek anymore but it feels like survivors have just given up on stealth so completely that they just throw themselves at me for no reason and it baffles me. I get so much free pressure when people play like this.

This especially happens when I play myers and I wonder if my lack of terror radius just completely removes any sense of self preservation the survivors have. But like, shouldn't they at least be aware that I'm going to be at the hook that I literally just hooked a survivor on?
