I tried that last night and it didn't work. Guess I'll try again tonight.

Anyone else's perks not working? After the update I can't get my walkie talkie and firecracker perk to work. This game is maddening. I really enjoy playing, but dammit they fix two things and then something else breaks...
I also feel like they dropped the ball with retro Jason. I love the music and color, but he looks too clean. They should have made him all pixelated and change his weapon too, looks kind of weird with it not being retro.
Yeah, this is frustrating. My friend and I have the same problem. I've tried removing them, saving the profile then adding them back several times and they still do not work. It seems to be random ones. I'm trying my best to support them but come on? You didn't realize perks no longer function with this update?

Frustrating patch release again. During the week I usually only have time for maybe 2 rounds (maybe 3) so between trying to find people who aren't raging assholes to play with or connection issues (which arose after I downloaded yesterdays patch) I'm almost contemplating just trying my luck with Dead by Daylight.
This is me also. I only get a chance to play a couple hours total a week and when I do it sucks with all the glitches SCS using LFG. Especially on Xbox one where we can't even get patches. I'm looking into Dead by daylight also...

Thinking about picking this up, but I'm afraid that there might be a lack of communication on PS4. How are things on there?
Fine, there's the occasional jackass or 5 year old if you play in public matches, but you can always find a party or a private match. Just friend some people here and join one or two of the Communities and you'll pretty much always find a group.

Stay away from QuickPlay. Play with people from here and join the communities. Weed people out from there. I really think that having a stable roster of people you enjoy playing with is vital in this game. It's 100% necessary in my opinion.
It was obvious it was a memory leak from the get go, the fact that its taken them all this time to either figure this out or admit to it is rather embarrassing! Question is though how did the game manage to pass cert with MS in the first place!!. Yet again XB1 owners get screwed over, they should give XB owners 20000 CP (in stead of the 13000 CP) for the on going poor support the XB version has received!
Hopefully Dead By Daylight will show them how its supposed to be done!
I would have much preferred them rather than spending time designing new costumes and a Jason skin to actually fix their game before hand!!

13,000. Not 1300. But I agree it should still be higher. It wouldn't be such a big deal if they didn't lock counselors, Jason's and perks behind level progress and in game currency. And now look, most of us are stuck in the early 20s with 800 CP lol. Can't afford shit. Over here selling Orange perks just to muster up enough to roll again. Smh.

I don't mind the small team. What they should get 100% shit for us going the three platform simultaneous release. They had absolutely no business doing that. They had nowhere near the amount of resources needed. The game has suffered tremendously for it.
Which sucks because with all the bugs and exploits it is still fun as hell to play.
I expect that the original low sales numbers/indy game status attributed to a lax certification originally. Then it blew up and sold alot more than they thought it would, so MS got alot stricter on what it would let through.
These guys have had to back out patches on PC a few times due to issues, and based on some of the streamers I saw, this latest patch caused issues for PC again as well, its likely that Microsoft made them fix more than the bare minimum they did for the other consoles to approve the patches,
We may be getting the shaft in how long it takes to get the updates, but Im betting that MS is being more strict on QA than Sony is. Either due to the devs just being better at developing for Sony than Xbox, or MS is upset at their customers being given a non final version of the game at launch.
Yeah im enjoying the game it just get frustrating when the game crashes and you lose all those XP and CP points, the 13000 there give us probably wont even cover the amount ive lost due to it crashing!!!
There's a 3.5 GB patch out for X1 now. Hopefully it will alleviate the issues for all you Xbox owners.

Mine work, but they're being weird. I start with my map, but it now allows me to pick up other maps.

That was the only perk it would let me use out of my standard 3, and now that you mention it it's giving me the option to pick up a second map too. This game..... =/

They really should have concentrated on one platform especially if they are a small group.
The approach worked for Dead By Daylight.
Apparently it doesn't address any of the crashes or connection issues!!!
And why do they keep doing patches that are the size of the fall game, on the PS4 the patch is like 800 megs!!!

Is the 13k CP for only certain players? Nothing on my end on PC.
Or is that only this friday?

Yeah, I didn't get the CP either.
It doesn't. It's just costumes. Still crashing. Still lagging. Still joining lobbies with only myself in them.

CP is given Friday when the 2x XP starts.
The core gameplay is also far, far worse but to each their own I suppose.
Makes me wanna buy it, tbh. And it's 10 dollars cheaper.
This only adds the new jason in. Doesnt fix the known issues. Per their update they are still working to resolve that. Everytime they patch this on XB1 you basically re-download the entire game.

I like both games, don't get me wrong. While Friday the 13th can offer hilarity along with helplessness, DbD is the more tense game in my eyes because it definitely plays the cat and mouse game a lot more whereas it won't take long for Jason to automatically find you.
The only downer for DbD is no chatting to teammates unless you're in a party.

Any word on host migration coming to Xbox One? Do any of the other versions have it? I haven't had much bad luck with crashes, but the host migration is batshit crazy. No way the game should have launched without it.
Game is pretty solid, but they clearly needed more dev time. I'm about done though, have to struggle through too much BS just to play.

And the endless kiting.
And the palettes.
And the one mode of game play - turn on generators.
I'm guessing kiting is cheesing? People do that all the time in this. Find a couch or a dining table and burn time the entire match. this doesn't exactly have a variety of modes either lol.

Really tempted to get this on PS4; what sort of state is it in?

Picked up Dead by Daylight and it's a blast.
It compliments Friday really well.

People have been saying quickplay is a garbage fire for a long time, but I had been having fairly good experiences, personally. However, I am starting to run into certain types of shitty player pretty consistently...
The worst, by far, are the people that setup group chats, which completely ruin the experience. If you use group chat to circumvent the game then you just suck.
Similarly, there are too many people not using the mics, which ruins the game.
The others are people who take things WAY too personally. They just get super salty when they die, which is a bad scene as that is usually going to happen.
Then, of course, there are people that are there to ruin people's fun. However, I have to be honest, I don't run into too many of those.
That's awesome if true and done on purpose. If you see the trap and deactivate it you shouldn't be punished for it by having Jason morph right to you.

I got an epic version of Thick Skinned. 46% damage absorption. It is ridiculous. Makes my AJ nearly invincible to whacks for some reason. Doesn't matter how many hits. A Jason has not whacked me to death since I've equipped this godsend.

I love that it contains bits of the NES game's OST. Cabin theme still relevant dammit!

You do realize this game is also just one mode of gameplay? Search cabins.
Let's not pretend this game has loads of more content. Both were content starved at launch. Dead by Daylight was just cheaper.

Wait.. You can disarm traps with the pocket knife?
Yes. Crouch next to it and prompt shows up
Oh you have to crouch next to it. Thanks for the tip

So last night I was in a cabin with 3 others. Jason tracked us down, killed the power, and set traps by the windows except for one which he broke with a knife. Jason breaks down the door and I immediately leap through the broken window. Except I forgot I was already hurt and killed myself.
The guys in the room got a nice chuckle out of that one.

Best chance of survival in that instance is to hide in a cabinet or under a bed. Then let Jason pick one of the others to chase down after he breaks in while you escape.

Yeah this happened to me. Me and two others. I hid under the bed, he went for the other who run from the house and he followed pursuit.
