This initial implementation of Survive With Friends will allow for a group of survivors to be created and to matchmake into a ranked lobby together. It should be used in a similar fashion as the Kill Your Friends Mode:
Have a survivor (host) created click Survive With Friends from the Main Menu
As the host, invite other survivors to the lobby.
Once the party is formed, have all players ready-up. This will triggered the matchmaking process and transition the party to an online lobby.
Note: After playing a game, the survivor group will be automatically disbanded and all members will be returned to their single player survivor lobby. We are working on maintaining the party between games, and you can expect this to come in a follow up patch.

Patch 1.0.5 - 4 August 2016[ | ]
BUG FIXES
Fixed an issue which could cause Steam Stats & Achievements to get reset
Fixed an issue preventing the trapper from placing traps near sabotaged traps
Fixed an issue which could cause killer prestige weapons to flicker in game
Fixed an issue that caused the Saboteur perk to decrease sabotage speed when using a toolbox

Fixed an issue which caused the perk "Whispers" to trigger when near dead or sacrificed survivors
Fixed an issue which could render a downed survivor unable to interact or be interacted with if a pickup interaction would fail
BALANCE CHANGES
Removed the ability for a survivor to disarm or sabotage traps while walking or running
Added a penalty to the wiggle build-up when a killer puts a survivor down
Bloodhound: Fresh blood marks can be for 2/3/4 seconds longer than normal (up from 1/2/3)
Our data indicates that Bloodhound is underpowered. In order to make this perk more viable, we have chosen to increase the duration of how long the blood marks are visible. With a longer blood trail, there are more chances you’ll pick up the scent and be able to start your hunt. We kept its powerful synergy with Sloppy Butcher in mind:
Sloppy Butcher: Increased the frequency of bleeding for tiers I and II. Decreased the frequency of bleeding for tier III.
We rebalanced the amount of blood spawned when affected by sloppy butcher. We feel the new balance is closer to the intended gameplay: being able to track a survivor. The injured survivor needs to use the environment to break the line of blood splatter using grass and other techniques to obscure their trail until they are healed (or killed). Overall this perk should be more a more viable option for killers’ loadouts at all levels. A good killer at this point should be able to follow the blood trail on most maps.
Brutal Strength: Increased barricade destruction speed bonus to 20%/30%/40% (up from 10%/20%/30%)
Brutal Strength is a good perk that is being picked, but not as often as the more popular perks. We have decided that a slight boost should allow for more dynamic play and enough of a boost to merit equipping this perk.
Insidious: Decreased time taken to become stealthy to 4/3/2 seconds (down from 6/4/3)
This is one of our favorite perks. However, in its current form, it can be too slow to use with the current pace of the game. The idle time required is often too high a price to pay, especially at level I. We have lowered time required to become stealthy for all tiers of the perk. Survivors, take your time to look around before you do you anything risky!
Iron Grasp: Fixed description and decreased wiggle reduction effect to 20%/40%/60% (down from 25%/50%/75%)
We want to add a bit more challenge for the killer when transporting a victim with Iron Grasp. As it currently stands (due mostly to sneaky sabotaging survivors!) we chose not to reduce the time required to struggle out. However, we did reduce the wiggle force reduction to allow survivors to fight back a bit better. We also updated the description of the struggle time effect to match the values that were already in-game.
No One Escapes Death: Added a time limit of 120 seconds and reduced movement speed bonus to 3%/4%/4% (down from 3%/5%/5%)
No One Escapes Death is probably one of the game’s most controversial perks, and certainly one of the most often picked. By adding a time limit to the perk, we’re encouraging killers to try a “berserker blitz” where they have to hunt and find survivors as fast as possible, rather than camp strategic points. The very slight movement speed decrease will help some survivors get away during these 2 terrifying minutes. With these changes in place, we believe that this perk will no longer be a “must-have” for every killer loadout, but still be a viable option.
Shadowborn: Reduced the field of view bonus for all tiers
This perk has was so strong that it was a no-brainer to always use it, especially given the rarity of flashlight experts out there. The FOV difference should still be high enough to be noticeable and give an advantage to those who use this perk, without being an automatic pick.
Spies From The Shadows: Increased odds to trigger the effect to 50%/50%/75% (up from 25%/50%/75%) and increased range to 16/24/36 meter (from 12/24/36)
We believe this perk is fine at tiers II and III but the first tier of this perk could use a boost. Increasing the chance that the crows give a visual cue and increasing the range should make this perk viable even at tier I.
Unnerving Presence: Significantly increased chance to trigger skill checks
Even though the numbers appear unchanged, they are now added to the base chance rather than acting as a multiplier on them. This will greatly increase the probability of skill checks being triggered when in the terror radius of the killer.
Adjusted matchmaking parameters to discard older lobbies and reduce the potential of connecting to dead lobbies
Adjusted the Nurse camera angle when breaking pallets & getting stunned
BUGFIXES
Fixed a potential crash while healing (towards completion)
Fixed a potential loading screen crash

Fixed an issue making traps immune to the flashlight depending on the Hag's orientation & position relative to the survivor

Fixed some issues causing perks to display improperly in the HUD while spectating other players
Fixed some issues causing players to get stuck on a game logo screen while attempting to join a lobby
Fixed some issues causing survivors to lose pips if the killer disconnects
Fixed some issues causing the Nurse to be unable to blink in certain sections of The Pale Rose map
Fixed various totem placements in various maps that made them impossible to cleanse
Fixed an issue causing "Borrowed Time" to not activate when a healthy survivor would get hit with a double-damage attack (Chainsaw, Tier 3 Evil Within). The intent is that the survivor should lose a health state right away (into injured), and the bleedout timer should activate.
Fixed an issue causing L4D related content to appear as placeholder in languages other than english (currently forced to english until localization is completed)
Fixed an issue causing the "Borrowed Time" bleedout timer to remain active if the survivor would use the instant-heal interaction from the "Anti-hemorrhagic Syringe" add-on
Fixed an issue causing the "Borrowed Time" bleedout timer to remain active if the survivor would walk into a bear trap
Fixed an issue causing the server to potentially crash if a survivor would use an instant-heal interaction while the "Borrowed Time" bleedout timer is in effect
Fixed an issue causing the "Borrowed Time" perk bleed-out timer to never end if the survivor wielding the perk would get hit twice with a double-damage attack

Minor improvements to Survive with Friends Matchmaking (ignore servers for which a connection was already attempted and failed, sequentially attempt to join each search result before making a new search)
Added a set of black Left Behind shirts (torso customization) for Dwight, Jake, Meg, Claudette & Nea (available if the player is a member of the Dead by Daylight community on Steam)
Added controller support in the menus
Added localization support for the Korean & Japanese Languages
Menu UI V2
BALANCE
Added the Bloodlust Mechanic (increased speed for killers during chases)
Adjusted Hag Trap activation. Will no longer trigger when crouching
Adjusted rarities for some perks and rarity probabilities for perks selection in the bloodweb
Adjusted the audio occlusion levels of multiple objects
Adjusted the radius of the circle at which the crows fly around still survivors
Changed "Bitter Murmur" perk. Changed reveal values from 2/4/6 to 5/7/9. This perk currently ranks as one of the lowest usage rates amongst killer perks, we are testing an increase in reveal time to see if this perk's usage rates increase.
Changed "Iron Grasp" perk. In light of the Sabotage and hook repair implementations, we have changed Iron Grasp's values to their old values. Struggling is reduced by 25/50/75% changed from 20/40/60%. Time to struggle out of the killers grasp is increased by 4/8/12% instead of 15/27/36%. As noticed the numbers have been much higher for a while, this was due to Killers not having enough access to hooks on the map. The Auto Hook Repair mechanic should allow for smaller Iron Grasp numbers.
Changed Dull Totem cleanse scoring value from 400 - 600
Changed Hex Totem cleanse scoring value from 800 - 1000
Changed Sabotage of Hooks to be 15 seconds instead of 20
Changed Totem cleansing time to 14 seconds from 10 seconds
Changed skillcheck starting point from .25 to .33
Changed the "Hex: Devour Hope" perk at level 3. Removed the repair generator penalty given at 1 token and replaced it with a speed boost at 2 tokens. The reason we changed the bonus from the token gain was due to the fact that the repair penalty was a dead giveaway that the killer had Devour Hope.
Changed the "Hex: Thrill of the Hunt" perk. Removed condition that required a hook save for a token to be applied, instead tokens will be awarded for each remaining totem on the map. Additionally the killer will receive a notification when someone starts working on a hex totem.
Changed the "Lightborn" & "Shadowborn" perks. These perks have changed to match the 1.4 engine update lighting. Modified the recovery time to a constant 50% for lightborn, light effectiveness has been reduced from 100% to 35% for both lightborn and shadowborn. Shadowborn gets you blinded at most 30% faster which is down from 50% and the time to recover from this condition was reduced from 75% to 50%.
Changed the "No One Escapes Death" perk (now called "Hex: No One Escapes Death"). We've modified NOED to be a Hex based perk instead of having a 2 minute timer starting once the gates are powered. The Hex will be applied once the exit gates are powered as long as there is a dull totem still intact. Survivors will have an option to destroy the totem or try and open the door to escape.
Changed the "Save The Best For Last" perk. Removed the flat successful and missed attack cooldowns from the perk and replaced them with a Successful attack cooldown that is triggered after chasing a survivor for 20 consecutive seconds.
Changed the audio cue used when the "Small Game" perk gets triggered
Changed the color of survivor auras in the effects of the perk "Bond". These auras were previously red, which generally indicates the survivor is in trouble. Changed the auras to yellow
Changed the progression bar color to make the visibility of the progression more noticeable (ie repairing, unhooking, healing, etc)
Decreased the penalty for failing a Sabotage action skill check from 25% to 10%. We believe the Sabotage fail skill check penalty was too extreme, we've reduced the fail skill check from 25% to 10% in addition to making the sabotage time for bear traps longer.
Increased Exit Gate opening time from 15 seconds to 20 seconds. We've increased Generator and Exit Gate unlocking times by a 10 and 5 respectively in order to add more time overall to matches.
Increased bear trap sabotage time from 8 to 16 seconds. We believe that sabotaging the Trappers traps/his power, was too easy, we've increased the time to sabotage as compensation.
Increased generator total repair time from 70 seconds to 80 seconds. We've increased Generator and Exit Gate unlocking times by a 10 and 5 respectively in order to add more time overall to matches.
Reduced the bear trap disarm time from 5 to 2.5 seconds. We've reduced the total time to disarm a trap, we believe that finding a trap should be the challenge, whereas once found disarming should be relatively fast.
Removed hook sabotage score event once gates are powered
Removed problematic locker in the "Blood Lodge" map
Removed the ability for the Trapper to place bear traps under hooks. Traps under hooks have caused many issues for survivors trying to save their teammates and ended up with more frustration than fun. Traps can still be placed near the hook but there should always be enough room for the survivor to unhook their teammates without either survivor being trapped.
Removed the possibility for the "Chinese Firecracker" item to spawn in chests or in the bloodweb
Sabotaged hooks will now automatically repair after 180 seconds. This feature has been implemented to help combat the sabotage loop that results in slugging due to the killer having no hooks/ being too far from all the hooks.
Some Character custom Items rarity value have been modified
The "Adrenaline", "Balanced Landing" & "Sprint Burst" perks now use a shared cooldown for the activation of the speed boost (Exhausted Status Effect). Exhausted cooldown is paused while running. "Adrenaline" cause Exhausted Status Effect but is not impaired by the Status Effect.
Trapper and The Hag trap place times have been reduced by 2 seconds overall. There is an initial trap placement time which took 2 seconds, then the trap would be set for 2-3 seconds followed by an out animation which would take another 2 seconds. We've reduced the out and the in animation times to 1 second each which should help trappers and hags place their traps more dynamically/ in chases and perhaps allow killers to mind game by fake placing a trap.
Unhooking a Survivor with an Item underneath them has been made easier, unhooking has the priority. Picking up the item requires the Survivor to look directly at the item.

Integrated Shrine of Secrets content for this week
Patch 1.5.2 - 8 June 2017[ | ]
FEATURES & CONTENT
Added the ability for the KYF Match Manager to toggle whether join permissions are limited to friends only or not.
Added the ability to view Items, the Killer Power and Add-ons on the score board at the end of the match
Added the Proficiency System. The Proficiency System helps the player know how the different gameplay elements (e.g. their own or other players' perks, offerings, add-ons) affect their performance at the interaction they are currently performing. Proficiency icons will appear for:
Chance: Displays if the player has a better or worse chance at succeeding the performed action (only valid for actions that can fail, e.g. escaping a trap or a hook)
Efficiency: Displays if the player's Item Usage depletes slower or faster than usual
Progression Speed: Displays if the Action Progression Speed is slower or faster than usual
Skill Check Difficulty: Only displays after the first Skill check, and indicates if the Skill Check is easier or harder to succeed
Skill Check Probability: Only displays after the first Skill check, and indicates if Skill Checks happen more or less frequently than usual
Adjusted the color of the interaction bar when using perks, items or add-ons to properly reflect if there is a positive(yellow) or negative(red) speed effect
Adjusted the controller cursor speed and stickiness
Adjusted the font size of player steam names in the HUD. Font was reduced to compensate for names cutting off

Integrated additional status effects and modified some existing effects to use the new Proficiency system (see below). The current status effects are:
Blindness: Character’s vision is impaired.

BALANCE
Hex: Thrill of the Hunt Perk change: Changed values for blood points granted for hunting by 4%/6%/8% to 6%/8%/10%. Changed cleanse time from 4/7/10 to 4/5/6. The increased cleansing time was too high for what we wanted Thrill of the Hunt to do, we've reduced it to more manageable numbers.
Open Handed perk change: Now affects teammates by increasing aura reading ranges by 4/6/8 meter range.
Quick & Quiet perk change: Added a cooldown every 30/25/20 seconds.

ADDITIONAL CHANGES:
Update for Quick & Quiet, we didn't just add a cooldown to Quick and Quiet but rather we've added the much asked for Quiet aspect to our Quick and Quiet.
Quick and Quiet will now reduce audio and noise notification range by 100% instead of just noise notification range by 90%.
The cooldown was added as we felt like 100% Quick and Quiet is very strong even with a cooldown of 20 seconds.
Whispers change was made because we heard that it was too subtle for players. We tried something with the new audio, we'll see how you guys like it or not and gather that information and revise what we do with the audio!
Removed 25% and 50% single category point offerings for Killers and Survivors from Bloodwebs (until the anniversary event is over)

Patch 1.5.3 - 4 July 2017[ | ]
FEATURES & CONTENT
Feature - New Killer Win / Lose Condition: Prior to patch 1.5.3 Killer win conditions were determined through point gain: less than 7000 bloodpoints gained in a match resulted in losing 1 rank pip, 7000 to 9999 was considered a tie with no rank pips lost, 10,000 to 19,999 was considered a win granting 1 rank pip and finally 20,000 granted 2 rank pips. Unfortunately this did not satisfy most Killers as it does not directly reflect the amount of killing/hooking done in a match. As of patch 1.5.3 our Killer win/lose conditions change to reflect our Killers' visceral game play. Killers need to score Killer Goals to satisfy the entity.
Four "post-exit" altruism score events have had their values increased by 25%:
"Post Exit: Heal" - Heal a Survivor after the exit gates have been powered: 500 altruism points (up from 400)
"Post Exit: Assist" - Get in range of a Survivor who is in need after the exit gates have been powered: 315 altruism points (up from 250)
"Post Exit: Trap Rescue" - Save a Survivor from a bear trap after the exit gates have been powered: 1250 altruism points (up from 1000)
"Post Exit: Hook Rescue" - Save a Survivor from a hook after the exit gates have been powered: 1875 altruism points (up from 1500)
Killers can now see the auras of hooks on which Survivors are being sacrificed
Old score events have been re-implemented with new diminishing returns and/or hard caps:
"Bold" - Exiting a locker while in the Killer's proximity: 50 boldness points
Reworked the toolbox add-on "Brand New Part": Brand New Part replaces the "Toolbox Repair" interaction with "Install Brand New Part". This interaction will trigger constant skill checks with large progress rewards. When the interaction ends for any reason, the toolbox is consumed
Sacrifice scoring has been reworked:
500 points for hooking a survivor - Scoring Event: Hooked
200 points for beginning the summoning phase - Scoring Event: Hooked
200 points for beginning the struggle phase - Scoring Event: Entity Summoned
200 points for a successful sacrifice - Scoring Event: Sacrifice Completed
The offerings "Ivory Memento Mori" and "Ebony Memento Mori" now require a Survivor to have been hooked at least once before they can be killed.
The summoning phase and struggle phase of the sacrifice sequence have each had their duration increased to 60 seconds (up from 45).
Two existing score events have had their values adjusted:
"Map Scout" - Adding an object to the map: 150 objective points (up from 50)
"Hex: Ruin Skill Check" - Succeed a skill check affected by Hex: Ruin: 150 objective points (up from 50)
BUG FIXING
Added missing Teachable perks in Killer tooltips
Fixed an issue that allowed the Character Info screen to open when pressing the right arrow key
Fixed redundant text in The Hillbilly's Teachable perk "Lightborn"
Adjusted matchmaking logic for Survivor to ignore ranks after waiting for more than 90 seconds (after 90 seconds of waiting, as a survivor, the game will attempt to join any lobby available)
Feature - Adjusted the perk display in the in game HUD to more clearly show perks from other players.
Feature - Changed the position of the lobby messages so they're more visible and have less overlap with other UI elements.
BUG FIXING

BUG FIXING
Fix for survivor being hooked crooked from the killer perspective (Nurse and Hag)

Fixed an issue where the Killer can partly climb downed pallets

"Snap Out Of It" is now classified as a form of healing. This means it is affected by perks such as "Botany Knowledge" or "A Nurse's Calling," status effects such as "Mangled", and other effects concerned with healing.
"Snap Out Of It" now has a chance to trigger skill checks. Failing a skill check will interrupt the interaction and reveal the survivor's location.
Added a 200-point score event to the Survival category when successfully performing the "Snap Out Of It" action.
Added a new affliction granted by The Doctor's "Order" Class add-ons: Every 20 seconds, a broken pallet within a certain range is replaced with an illusionary pallet that is visible to survivors past a certain madness threshold, depending on the add-on.
Adjusted the affliction granted by The Doctor's "Discipline" add-ons: When a chase begins, the chased survivor perceives the red stain and terror radius as though The Doctor were right behind them for a duration depending on the add-on used and the survivor's madness level. The Doctor shares in his patients' madness in order to see the illusionary red stain.
Removed the speed penalty when switching stances with The Doctor
Survivors hit by the The Doctor's Shock Therapy attack are rendered unable to perform any interaction for 2.5 seconds
The skill check affliction previously granted by The Doctor's "Order" add-ons is now a baseline ability. Skill checks have a 33%, 66% or 100% chance of appearing in a random location while in madness 1, 2 or 3, respectively.
Updated the description for The Doctor's "Iridescent King" add-on to describe the afflictions it can inflict

Patch 1.8.0 - 26 October 2017[ | ]
FEATURES & CONTENT
Removed the Slightly and Moderately map offerings from Bloodwebs and from the Kill Your Friends offering inventory
BALANCE
Added the ability to unhook a survivor from all possible angles.
This is a step towards making the hook a happier place.
Adjusted Global Skill Check Chances, we believe they were currently a little too high when no item/perk was being used and we would like to encourage choice through items/perks and addons. As one of the first steps towards a *healthier balance we will be changing the following Skill Check Chances.
Heal Other Skill check Chance remains at 15%.
Heal Other with Medkit Skill Check Chance remains at 15%.
Heal Self with Medkit Skill Check Chance changed from 15% to 12.5%
Heal Self without medkit Skill check Chance changed from 15% to 10.5%
Repair with a toolkit Skill Check Chance has been changed from 8% to 10.5%
Repair without a toolkit Skill Check Chance has not changed, it remains at 8%.
Sabotage Hook with a toolkit Skill check Chance remains at 15%.
Sabotage Hook without a toolkit Skill Check Chance changed from 15% to 10.5%
Increased the time it takes to increase Bloodlust levels from 12 to 15 seconds. It has been brought to our attention that Bloodlust is currently triggering every 12 seconds. This is an error as Bloodlust is intended to trigger every 15 seconds. It is unclear when this issue occurred, Bloodlust should be triggering every 15 seconds as this should give an opportunity for survivors to lose the killer before they reach their next Bloodlust level. Bloodlust is intended to be an option for killers to use and it is not intended to be the answer to all situations.
Increased wiggle penalty for dropping a survivor from 25% to 33%. The initial intent was to cause killers to drop survivors after dropping them 4 times in a row. Due to recovery rates killers had 5 drops before the survivor was freed. This change should cause survivors to be freed after being dropped 3 times in a row when dropped in quick succession
Reduced "Good" healing skill check success reward from 1% to 0%. Good skillchecks are meant to continue progress as the skillcheck was not failed, Good skillchecks were not meant to advance progress.
Reduced the audio levels of The Wraiths growls while cloaked from the survivors standpoint
Removed some parts of the railing on the second floor of the Foundry in MacMillan Estate
BUG FIXING
Adjusted the audio cue when losing an item when the survivor was hit by a killer with the perk "Franklin's Demise"
Fixed an issue causing the items to be lost when using the offering White Ward and the add-ons Weaved Ring & Milky Glass Token
Fixed an issue that caused The Wraith's poncho to clip into the camera when attacking
Fixed an issue that caused items, perks, add-ons, powers, and offerings to have the incorrect inventory type text on the scoreboard
Fixed an issue that caused no bonus Bloodpoint rewards when using The Shape's add-ons "Scratched Mirror" & "Vanity Mirror", numbers are currently too high, they will be reduced in the next patch.
Fixed an issue that caused placeholder Lore Tips to be displayed on the loading screen
Fixed an issue that caused the Killer to become stuck in the boxes on the porch of the Strode house in Haddonfield when performing a window vault interrupt
Fixed an issue that caused the chainsaw's rev audio looping when doing a pallet stun on the Cannibal
Fixed an issue that caused the perk "Franklin's Demise" not destroying the toolbox add-on "Brand New Part" when survivor is hit while using it
Fixed an issue that caused the smoke VFX from the Nurse's Sally of the Lantern cusotmization to reappear before her blink was complete

Integrated Simplified Chinese localization for The Nightmare on Elm Street chapter
Patch 1.8.1 - 9 November 2017[ | ]
FEATURES & CONTENT
Content - Added new VFX when failing a generator skill check to wake up
Feature - Added a status effect on the portrait of a Survivor who is asleep
Feature - Added dissolve VFX on the Nightmare when a survivor is transitioning to the Dream State
Feature - Removed the in and out of Dream World transition when The Nightmare performs his memento mori kill. Now survivors who are being killed by the Nightmare will always be in the Dream State
BALANCE
A bug fix where we made the 0.3 seconds of the attack always play has made all lunges feel longer. In fact we are playing the full attack phase animation allowing the killer too fully swing before playing the blade wipe animation. We have made a tweak this patch where this is not true for the obstruction hit. An obstruction as soon as it is registered will go into the obstruction hit cooldown.
Changed the medkit add-ons Needle & Thread and Surgical Suture to have an additive increased skill check chances instead of a multiplicative one. Changed the Surgical Suture Skillcheck chance, increased it from Slightly(3%) to Moderately(5%). English only
Increased The Nightmare's terror radius from 16 to 24 meters. Increasing the Terror radius allows for survivors to have more room to maneuver around Freddy without having their aura seen. We've matched the Terror Radius and Lullaby to keep The Nightmare's presence consistent at a base.
Increased The Nightmares slowdown when successfully putting someone to sleep from 1 to 3 seconds. The slowdown will be more present and give survivors a slight window to put distance between themselves and Freddy before they are asleep.
Nightmare's Red Paint Brush add-on reduces terror radius by 16 meters instead of 8 meters, this is an adjustment since we increased the terror radius to 24 meters as a base for Freddy.
Removed the ability to wake up a survivor in crawl state. Now when healed to the injured state they will automatically be woken up. Also applicable when using the Unbreakable perk
Survivors with the Adrenaline perk at all Tiers will automatically be woken up from the Dream State when Adrenaline triggers. Adrenaline tiers 1 and 2 gain the ability to heal from dying as well as Tier 1 gains a 5 second sprint on activation. Updated description in English only
The Nightmare will now appear twice briefly during the Dream Transition instead of being visible throughout the Dream Transition. This change should help Freddy players to confuse their targets and encourage a disengage and surprise strategy.
Tweaked the Dream State VFX when a survivor is being pulled out of a locker when awake. Now the survivor is put to sleep at the beginning of the interaction rather than at the end
BUG FIXING
Adjusted the brightness when in the Dream State in the Treatment Theatre map
Adjusted the collision on some bush asset barriers in Badhman Preschool
Adjusted the fire visual effects in the basement of the Badham Preschool
Adjusted the shape of the yard of one of the houses in Badham Preschool that caused grass to appear inside the house
Fixed a collision that sometimes blocked player movement between the crashed school bus and a rock in the Autohaven Wrecker's theme
Fixed an audio and desync issue when the Nightmare performed his memento mori
Fixed an issue that allowed a recovering survivor to be able to stack recovering and healing progression
Fixed an issue that caused The Nightmare to see the outline of a survivor when they stood in front of a generator
Fixed an issue that caused survivors to have the Wake Up prompt when the action wasn't actually available
Fixed an issue that caused the Hag's killer stain to appear extremely bright
Fixed an issue that caused the Nightmare's hand to bend unnaturally during his memento mori
Fixed an issue that caused the Unbreakable perk to be consumed if survivor was holding the Recover button at the same time they were being healed
Fixed an issue that caused the destroy pallet audio string to play when the Nightmare damages a generator
Fixed an issue that could cause a survivor to fall out of world and die when getting rescued from a hook
Fixed an issue that could cause survivors arms to contort when getting unhooked
Fixed an issue that could cause survivors to teleport on to the chandelier in the main house in Mother's Dwelling when waking up another survivor
Fixed an issue that could cause survivors to teleport to the first floor of the Treatment Room when healing another survivor on the control panel
Fixed an issue that made it impossible for all players in the lobby to use the lobby chat after certain symbols were used
Fixed an issue that made it impossible to interact with a totem located between a tree and fishing boat in the Backwater Swamp theme
Fixed an issue that made it impossible to pass between a hedge and a rock on the Badham Preschool map
Fixed an issue that made it impossible to pass between a rock and fence on the Badham Preschool map
Fixed an issue that made it impossible to pass between a tree and a trashcan in the Badham Preschool map
Fixed an issue that made it possible to get stuck behind a chest in the Badham Preschool map
Fixed an issue that sometimes made it impossible for the Hillbilly and the Cannibal to use the chainsaw sprint in the main entrance of the Smokehouse
Fixed an issue where achievements tied to leveling up appeared in Steam after closing and restarting the game
Fixed an issue where the attack detection phase would be skipped as soon as a target is found. This affects the lunge, and makes it so that the full attack animation 0.3 seconds is played each time you swing, after the attack phase the character will go into the blade wipe, obstruction hit, or miss swing animation. This was done in the Nightmare DLC release. We have now adjusted the obstruction hit to not completely play, please see balance change for more details.
Updated the descriptions for all the Medkit items to reflect the healing speed is increased while healing others. English only
Content - Removed the Halloween themed lobby and menu music
Feature - Improved the speed of Bloodweb animations to make the Bloodweb more responsive and easier to use
Feature - Removed pop-up when purchasing an element of the Bloodweb, except when showing the content of a Mystery Box
BALANCE
Adjusted the rate at which the Mystery Boxes can spawn in the Bloodweb. Previously the Mystery Boxes spawned at every level, now it will spawn at levels 3, 5, then every 5 levels.
Adjusted the speed curve while channeling The Nightmare's ability: He now moves at 95% speed for the duration of channeling. The movement penalty applied when continually casting the Nightmare's ability was quite intense, we have added a slight reduction to the Nightmare's movement speed when using his ability continually.
Changed the overall balancing of the Bloodweb to have a better repartition of items and rarities. We wanted to make the progression in the Bloodweb more rewarding and satisfying when reaching the higher levels
Changed the prices of all Bloodweb elements to be based on Rarity instead of position. Price based on position created variance and inconsistency in the value of the rewards. We want players to be able to make choices on what to invest in based on consistent rules.
Fixed the interaction & attack block during The Nightmare's power success animation. 0.5 seconds after successfully casting his ability the Nightmare can now attack or interact.
Raised the Rarity of Bloody Party Streamers to Rare (previously Common). Bloody Party Streamers used to be Common for the event they were part of, but leaving them as part of the normal game required to raise their Rarity to appropriately reflect their impact.
Removed Tiers 2 and 3 of all Daily Rituals and reworked the values to reach for Tiers 1. We want the Daily Ritual to be short, easy to achieve objectives that you can complete every day.
Removed the possibility for all Moonlight Offerings to spawn in the Bloodweb. The usage of these Offerings could have a lot of impact on the lighting of each map. We needed more control over the exact lighting we decide to set in each map in order to ensure a good experience, and these offerings were making this harder.
Based on the new pricing rules of the Bloodweb, we felt that these items values were superior to what their Rarity suggested.
The add-ons Garden Rake, Prototype Claws and Paint Thinner now reduce the speed penalty during the 3 second slowdown after The Nightmare triggers the dream transition on a survivor. Prior to this update, these aforementioned add-ons were reducing the speed penalty while you continually casted. Now these add-ons will strictly be reducing the slowdown after successfully putting a survivor to sleep.
BUG FIXING
Adjusted the description for the "Risk It All" Achievement
Adjusted the text for the Camping Aid Kit to have a considerable healing speed instead of moderately
Fixed a couple of typos in the Cannibals torso customization descriptions in English

Tweaked the Flashlight blinding effects on the Nightmare. Was causing slight VFX corruption
Fixed an issue that caused Bloodlust display an incorrect status notification
Fixed an issue that caused Kindred not to appear in the HUD
Fixed an issue where Killers would experience a half second freeze after hooking a survivor
