@niemniemnieeem Cool! happy that you finally found a solution! let's hope BHVR fixes the problem though, and please keep messaging their devs on twitter. I don't have a twitter account so I can't personally do it, and please refer them to this page or your own discussion so that they can see what's wrong.
I've been ill the past few days, but I have some news for folks in russia at least.
Situation is being investigated on consoles. However, I have been told some amazon services were banned in russia and THAT is the issue since matchmaking is going through that.
No idea if this applies to PC, but I assume it would. If I get any more info on it, i'll let you know... but I wanted to pass on some news at least.
Going back to bed to continue dying now. ;)
@KhaineGB That's great! please tell them to fix it in the Middle-East (Iran in my case) too. Our situation might be similar to Russia with the blocking of amazon services.
so after a billion updates since the host unreachable crap started to happen still no fix even in the new chapter update, AND it's actually even worse in this update, THANK YOU FOR CARING.
@manzari BHVR caring? We don't do that around here.
I believe the hotfix that either went out, or is going out, was to help with that.
The other issues with amazon services are still being looked into.
It did not. It has become worse - now, instead of waiting and a window with an error, it’s just an endless download, interrupted only by closing and restarting the game. Hotfix not help.
this
yep, pretty much this.
sometimes it gives infinite loading screen, sometimes it just kicks back to character select with no error, @KhaineGB
The issues still exist as heavily as they have ever existed. BHVR, please do give a damn.
have you played yesterday and today? since i can't use vpn anymore cause lag is too bad, i was waiting out endless loading screens. it wasn't nearly as much as past two months. maybe just lucky days or something but it feels like the amount of malfunctions is back to September level which was.. eh... tolerable.
@niemniemnieeem I think it is slightly better than the state it was in a month ago or two months ago, but it still has issues
Problem is, when I use a VPN, killers hit me from miles away and when I'm playing killer, other people complain that I hit them when I should't have been able to.
This issue still exists and has not been solved. It is in fact worse than ever and I'm unable to play the game. Please fix it, it has been 3 months. @KhaineGB
it's basically 4 months, man. happened right with the Stranger Things chapter. so without like what?.. 2 days? without 2 days it's been 4 months.
i'm moving to Germany this year, till then i stopped playing dbd. it's bloody ridiculous what devs get away with just because there is no good alternative to the game.
@niemniemnieeem that is right. I have stopped playing for about 2 weeks now. it is absolutely ridiculous. good luck in germany btw, finally you will be able to play the game! haha
Pfft. Don't ask me to fix it. I'm not allowed to poke the code. ;)
Last I heard, Clyde was trying to gather info about the situation here: https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/ru/discussion/108667
That's seriously all I know right now.
@KhaineGB Sorry to bother you. It's just that you're the only person close to the developers that I know of. Also, the discussion you mentioned is great, I posted a comment in there too. Thanks!
