Dead by Daylight's update 6.7.1 has arrived, and it's full of bug fixes that will help players get the experience they deserve. Not too long ago, Dead by Daylight's developer released update 6.7.0, and like it, this patch is not short on solutions as it features dozens of bug fixes regarding characters, bots, animations, and much more.
Dead by Daylight launched in 2016, and since then, fans of asymmetrical games have been loyal to the game that allows them to play movie-like scenarios from franchises like Scream and A Nightmare on Elm Street. Dead by Daylight lets gamers put themselves in the shoes of many movie characters escaping from a frightening killer while doing tasks throughout the match to try and escape their demise, all while another player hunts them down with exciting abilities. Dead by Daylight is regarded as a good co-op game by many players. The game's thrilling gameplay, chaotic atmosphere, and fan-favorite killers make it stand out from the rest of the games in the same genre.
Dead by Daylight's Twitter account shared the new update 6.7.1 patch notes, detailing all the bug fixes implemented with the new patch. According to the patch notes, the game's developer went all out with the number of bug fixes the update delivered. Dead by Daylight's developers fixed issues regarding the game's characters, environment, special effects, level design, and more. However, unlike the previous Dead by Daylight update, this patch only implemented bug fixes into the game, so players should not expect any additions or new content at this time.
Among many of Dead by Daylight's bug fixes, there are a few that stand out. The game's developer fixed an optimization problem causing low-frame rate animations in certain situations, something crucial in a game where survivors are sometimes saved by slight movement advantages against the killer. The developer also fixed several Dead by Daylight crash issues that appeared when players passed level 50 in the Bloodweb, ended a trial, used the Bloodweb, and even when initiating the game on PS4.
The number of crash fixes and level design optimizations allows players to have a smoother experience while playing as the game's survivors or killers. Players will have an even better experience with it after implementing this patch, so gamers should not be surprised if some Dead by Daylight killers start dominating new matches after all these bug fixes.
