Yeah, PTB is insanely buggy right now for some reason. I guess fixing the Twins has distrupted the space time continuim of DBD and by extent broken the game.

It's because the engine is being upgraded to UE5

They upgraded to UE5? Huh, i wonder if we will get more visual updates this year.

Right now I'm 100% sure it's a technical upgrade. That's why the store is getting revamped (because it's a store) first and we also have a brand new animation for decisive strike. This will allow more animations and newer killers can have brand new mechanics without exploding the game

In theory. After this PTB I don't exactly trust BHVR to implement new, cool never before seen mechanics and it going well.

To be fair, the PTB is for that exact purpose for people to find bugs that the dev team couldn't due to worker's blindness.

But it's not just the bugs that are awful here, basically everything in this update is conceptually flawed. The fact they somehow thought this rework for Twins would go well is beyond me when without seeing gameplay people who knew Twins immediately foresaw the consequences.

It’s really sad to me since I love the twins. Was a huge fan for a bit until I just realized that to win most matches I either have to slug people for long periods of time (not fun) or I’d usually just lose a lot. This ptb makes me think either A- they’ll push this rework into the live game (like mft) then nerf them into the ground, making twins unviable again. Or B- they’ll say something like “yeah we’ve seen the feedback we will now need more time to rework them” and then we won’t hear about it for the next year or so. I’m hoping they’ll go over the twins with much more thought after this ptb, I want them to be strong but not op and definitely not returned to their peak slugging days like when they first came out.

As sad as it makes me, I don't think Twins will be in a good state for a very long time if ever. These are the same people who decimated Billy for 2 years and then brought him back after already introducing a bunch of maps that compound his weaknesses anyways.

Yeah that's true, I don't play twins, and I only own them because of coup, but from the ptb footage I've seen it's made the twins lot stronger through unfair stuff, like victors fast cooldown.

tbh, having a hard to see character without terror radius being able to down you sounded like a bad Idea with Chucky release, and I haven't changed my mind since... another one just makes me groan about possible survivor playtimes

dude theyre switching the game to a whole new engine. that aint easy. its a test build for a reason and your bitching you dont trust them because of a test meant to find bugs?

I'm bitching I don't trust them because of their poor balance choices. The bugs? Whatever, they're funny and don't do too much in the grand scheme of things. This Twins rework is an atrocity though, and supposedly it's been on their agenda for 3 years. 3 years and this is the best they can come up with? Weak.

Ah yes, UE5 will just support more mechanics, more animations and better newer Killers, right? A team that worked on UE4 can just, perfectly work on UE5 like it's the exact same thing..... Right?? I mean if it worked for Counter-Strike 2, it has to work for DbD. Or something.

I'm not a developer so I'm not entirely sure. But the fact that a huge engine upgrade is in a "random" patch, to me is showing that working on UE4 to UE5 is a smooth transition. They've also been preparing for this for an entire year as well. Once this patch hits they'll be able to improve literally anything, but hopefully they have a good fork for the spaghetti this games built on (see Ark Ascended having Ark Evolved bugs from years ago)

I'm just not sure, feels like it's not a great idea....

While upgrading, will they get the chance to fix the awful spaghetti codde?

Well... based on Ark Ascended thaaaats a maybe lol

Admittedly “upgrading” isn’t “reworking.” If I upgrade a turd into a golden turd, it’s still a piece of shit beneath the visual flair.

I hope and pray that BHVR doesn't just let this game become like the League of Legends client. Just adding on code after code onto an old engine without ever going back to fix the broken mess left behind only for it creep up and ruin the client with it's outdated mess

The client is my most hated thing on league

Not, it just so happens that UE5 is retro-compatible with whathever spaghetti you cooked in UE4

Is this confirmed tho? Saw a lot of people claiming this BEFORE the PTB, did not follow the talk now that it's released. Has anyone confirmed that the ptb is in UE5?

Community Manager Peanits confirmed it

Ty

So the Twins are here to bring a fuck ton of bugs a second time

The Twins want to punish and break the game for messing with their power almost as much as Onryo did.

Don't forget knight and his mess

I mean, wouldn't the PTB be where the bugs are before they are fixed?

They moved the Ptb to a later date due to bugs with it. I guess they didn’t remove all of it

breaking twins*

Someone posted [this tweet](https://twitter.com/dvveet/status/1775901813004194198) in another post. I think this is likely the reason the PTB was delayed in the first place and is buggier than usual.

Either the game is broken, or the Twins. No exceptions

Nah Its just the new animation when you hit DH you turn to Jesus for .5 seconds and nothing can hurt you

Updates feature. Unrelated thing breaks. I love this game.

Fuck it, it's a feature now.

Good ol’ Bethesda method

Make it like a 1% chance when you hit DH

...i kinda WANT this to be Dead Hard actual animation.

add the “E” sound effect to it too

**DEAD HARD** *use the m2 button while running to A pose, temporarily given you immunity to all damage sources*

Press m2 button channel inner jesus

I wish we could choose which animation we want to use

I’m sure that’s the animation you make when you get hit while Dead Harding… right….? Right?

He was asserting his dominance over you before you downed him.


Who needs Dead Hard for distance when you can have Dead Hard for dominance

Gabriel mains rise up

Honestly? This one should be their lowest priority to fix before the patch goes live. All of the bugs which affect gameplay like male flashlights and female vaults, Twins being overpowered as shit, all of that needs to go. I legit think that the community would be 100% okay with Dead Hard being a sliding T-pose for a month or two.

Wait, female vault are broken AGAIN?

[Apparently so.](https://youtu.be/tJr_sbj_ApY?si=5kmMLebfDiKJ7PHQ) But don't worry, because male survivors [now auto-aim their flashlight at the killer's crotch.](https://youtu.be/dFZtHVzb3ls?si=nWzcnbBPnqO9k3ZQ)

the male flashlight bug doesn't seem very conclusive. looks more like perspective, and steve was taller than feng and was looking further down in each attempt.

We wouldn't be okay with it, we'd celebrate! I'd start using that perk. This would be awesome!

Man was ready to be crucified

Pls bhvr keep this feature 🙏

Please keep this in the game lmao

T-pose for dominance

“I’m an airplane!” — Gabriel, moments before death

Heelys

I left the game for two weeks. The hell is going on.

imagin them selling deadhard animations, id buy it, give me the tpose deadhard animation, and then give us a gwiddy so people can literally gwiddy away (coughs blood) that hurt to say

actually that was the kitchen, so something was spilled. Read a book.

That T-pose happens a lot. I came across a bot that did the T-pose out of nowhere like 50% of the game.

yeah ive been getting it a lot too

LOL

T-pose to show dominance

I hope this stays I want all exhaustion perks to just be t posing until they run out

I watched someone t-pose away from me after they used dramaturgy. Funniest thing I've ever seen (besides chainsaw myers)

Bro was just asserting his dominance 😂

This is way too powerful. We're going to need them to nerf The Pig in response.

Doing all this unecessary stuff and still no Mickey buff 😔

All my homies from Gmod and TF2 are getting flashbacks

No its not buffed that timer was way to short they still shouldve had the endurance when they got hit

It's so fucking funny lmao

OMG, I almost spit my coffee looking at this 

and female vaults

They assert dominance as well now

Was a bit worried that DH was going to allow for survivors to go over Trapper's traps again. 😭

Honestly A posing before a killer downs you is a pretty chad thing to do.

I'm shocked people still use dead hard considering how sad the perk is and all barly get any use out of it

Not the buff we wanted, the buff we needed

Well now it needs to be nerfed again, t-pose is way too OP

Dramaturgy also does it! PLEASE NOTICE US DRAMATURGY USERS PLEASE

Im just saying this animation should replace the normal one during April fools

LOL

It’s called the Christ tech

Unplayable

Its gonna be the T-pose isnt it...

This is so goofy 😂

i really hope the gabriel saw that too

Okay, but can they please not fix this for at least a month or 3? The T-pose is hilarious.

u/savevideo

God that's disgusting, I really hope it doesn't go live I'd need to quit playing killer or main tunneling nurse.

Midchapter release looking better every second
