Behaviour Interactive has deployed urgent fixes in Dead by Daylight's 9.1.1 update, addressing critical issues raised by players after last week's problematic 9.1.0 release. The development team shared comprehensive patch notes on the official Dead by Daylight website, detailing numerous adjustments to restore game balance and stability.
Addressing Community Concerns
The hotfix arrives just seven days after the controversial 9.1.0 update, which introduced Walking Dead content alongside various balance changes and unintended technical issues. While players appreciated the new additions, widespread frustration emerged regarding game-breaking exploits and unbalanced mechanics.
Immediate community concerns centered on problematic Perks (Streetwise, Blood Rush, Last Stand), performance issues with The Clown's overpowered abilities, and the poorly balanced Fog Vial item. Behaviour responded by temporarily disabling some features before rolling out permanent solutions in this latest update.
Key Improvements in Update 9.1.1
The patch reactivates Streetwise and Last Stand with corrected functionality, while implementing Fog Vial nerfs to opacity (reduced from 40% to 33%) and ambient audio volume. Critical fixes address persistent Killer chase mechanics, Survivor perspective issues with The Deathslinger's animations, and multiple environment collision problems.
Behaviour has acknowledged the need for better communication, promising expedited hotfixes for remaining Blood Rush issues and further Fog Vial adjustments in an upcoming patch. The team expressed gratitude for player feedback that helped identify these gameplay problems.
Notable Technical Corrections Include:
- Restored missing character animations and visual effects
- Fixed environmental exploits across multiple maps
- Resolved audio stacking in menus and missing character voice lines
- Corrected perk interaction bugs with Grim Embrace and Two Can Play
- Fixed platform-specific issues on Microsoft Store
