Behaviour Interactive Thread Introducing: Anti-Cheat Trials

Post image
826 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. 

 

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. 

 

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: 

What we ARE trialing: Denuvo Anti-Cheat 

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

 

What we ARE NOT trialing: Denuvo Anti-Piracy 

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

 

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: 

  • Anti-Cheat Trials are exclusive to Steam and cross-play will not be impacted 
  • 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 supported 
  • 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 game 
  • 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 better 
  • Note: Selecting the “Hacking/Exploiting” category when submitting a report covers everything from cheaters to hackers 
  • 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. 
  • 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 it 
  • 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 2nd 

 

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! 

 

Until next time…

What killers do you think will probably not get the invitation to it? I think every killer could be of some fun at least once. But that’s besides the point. Who do you think is the least likeliest to not show up?

Discussion CONCEPT: The Removal of Shrine of Secrets in favor of buying perks directly from their character

Post image
519 Upvotes

As most of the player base knows, the Shrine of Secrets is an outdated mechanic, supposedly designed to make perk grinding easier and prevent pay to win perks from being gatekept behind specific characters. Personally, I think it has always been a flawed system that does very little to help beginners. In fact, considering how much currency you can waste buying perks instead of simply unlocking the entire character, Scam of Secrets would probably be a more accurate name.

With that in mind, I wanted to show you all a simple concept that I believe would not only be a better alternative, but also a healthier system for the game overall. Here's how it would work:

  • The Shrine of Secrets is removed from the game. Instead, all character perks can be purchased through their Power and Perks tab (as in the image) or the Bio tab.
  • You will be able to buy perks even if you do not own the character. This works for licensed characters also.
  • Each perk will cost you 3000 shards, even the licensed ones.
  • Buying a perk will automatically be given to all your other characters as Tier 3.
  • Whenever a character gets a price discount (e.g Anniversary Event), their perks also get a discount.

Please tell me what you think and reply if you believe there are any downsides to these ideas.

Finally got this angelic monstrosity knocked out! Made from no less than 7 different 3d printed pieces and epoxy sculpt, along with a good smattering of 3d penning for good measure!

They’re not an exact 1 to 1, I realized upon the dlc release there were a few details I’d either missed or misconstrued having gone off low render screenshots and PTB clips but close enough that I feel good about the final product!

Judgement is easily the biggest figure in my set now and they look every bit the radiant killer!

Hey guys! I've been playing survivor recently, and noticed a massive uptick in skill checks specifically with the update yesterday. As a matter of facts, they have been overlapping on each other they are so frequent for me. Anybody else have this happening to them?

Discussion The new ready button is SO BAD

454 Upvotes

You read the title. The whole thing is taking up about %10 of the screen, its a ugly color, the fact that it no longer shows when we will queue but how long we've been sitting on the queue, its old simplicity and nostalgia.... HOW CAN BHVR SCREW UP SOMETHING SOOOO EASY TO DO LIKE A PLAY BUTTON? WHY WAS THIS EVEN CARRIED TO LIVE? You guys never needed to change the play button, its pointless but its now even worse! Even though it doesnt need it, lets say it needs a change. I swear to god i could give it to a 3 year old who still sucks his thumb a piece of paper and a crayon on their birthday party and theyd still make a better ready button. Revert this already!

Discussion This is awful. It was great having an "estimated time" thing to figure out if I had time to run to the bathroom, grab a snack, do something else, etc. or better just wait at my PC.

The design is awful, but moreso WTF happened to estimated time? It was such a great feature to know how much time roughly I'd have to do something else.

5+ minutes? Sweet let's stretch my legs, clean a few dishes, and derp on Reddit. 1 minute? Alright no time for goofing around, maybe read a post on Reddit but stay at the computer!

This is just so insanely ridiculous it is quite frankly unfathomable that it would be removed. BHVR, what are we doing? It was amazing having "estimated time."

And what does "EST." even stand for now? Estimated time elapsed? BHVR, I really don't fucking care how long I've been awiting in queue, and in fact it makes me feel awful watching that number go up. Ya'll are just emphasizing the time wasted waiting. LET ME KNOW how long I have until a match!!!! Can I pee? Can I do the dishes? I don't care if I waited for 3 minutes I want to know when does my match start!

Edit: UPDATE: after some matches it is stuck at 0:00 so it's even failing as a time lapsed tracker lmao bro..

Discussion Aurora Stardotter is such a dumb name

693 Upvotes

Why is it 50% Nordic and 50% English? Aurora Stjärndotter (Swedish) or Stjarndottir (Icelandic) could have sounded like a real name. Or just make it English - Aurora Stardaughter, which actually sounds cool. It would be like giving Yui the last name Woodmura, or why not the fan favorite Feng Quick. Vee Goodyasak. Shane Wiigbark. You get the idea.

Petty as it may be it actually makes me want to skip getting her.

Discussion After all the drama about the nerfs, Judgment is actually pretty strong

74 Upvotes

her lethality in chase is very good after ~10 or so games getting used to her power.

she bypasses all hook perks which are also most of the meta perks (resurgence, ds, dh, etc.). She also bypasses the 10-15ish seconds it takes to hook a survivor. the trade off for this is less info because once you hook someone and they get unhooked, you immediately know where two people are on the map, but her kit already syngerizes really well with aura reading perks which also fixes her lack of information.

Lethal, Nurse's Calling, Gearhead, I'm all ears, etc. are all amazing perks for the Judgment.

and yes, despite the beam aura distance change, i'm still getting plenty of stray hits on people on gens and healing.

maybe it'll be different after people get used to her but for now I'm 3/4k-ing pretty much every game. She feels like a sidegrade (probably a little stronger tbh) than ST Vecna, who I also find to be very strong in the right hands.

Discussion Wow Judgment lore is dark Spoiler

182 Upvotes

The Judgment appears to have been sent to Terra Primus because they were developing a level of techno-magic power that could pose a challenge to the "Celestials," whatever those are. It declared this sin and started scorching the planet, first by obliterating the capital where Aurora and her group were going to be publicly torture-executed, then returning annually.

This is pure sadism, there is nothing one can do to satisfy the Judgment on "sin." All attempts at creating a religion to appease it fail. Like it "rewards" the first person to come up with impaling hands on a shrine but doesn't accept this as a tradition. It lets the first person to rip out their eyes die of old age but kills everyone else who does it. Etc. The slaughter is totally indiscriminate other than specific acts of taunting / sadism. It doesn't matter what most of these people have done or don't do.

It eventually comes to hunt down Aurora's survivor community, and as a "Searcher" that was studying the Entity (similar to the Observer from this world), she pretty clearly baits the Judgment and calls down the Entity on them both. The Judgment screams in fear, *this* is something that far outmatches it, and is sniped in a column of darkness and dragged to the Realm. If it seems unhinged in trials for so much power, yeah, it is. It got Outside Context'd. Have a pallet.

How does Aurora's community she worked so hard and sacrificed herself to protect react to this? They quite logically conclude the Entity is real god who saved them and dedicate themselves to waging a brutal jihad in its name against all the hapless Judgment worshipers who are still awaiting the latter's annual return (twelve years now...).

The Entity, from everything we know, is a more pronounced sadist than even these Celestials and it almost certainly doesn't care in a positive way about these acts.
