Today’s Dead by Daylight patch is exclusively for squashing bugs, but that comes as no surprise given the myriad new features implemented in the latest update. The biggest fixes in today’s update involve maps, as both Cold Wind Farm – Fractured Cowshed and Crotus Prenn Asylum – Father Campbell’s Chapel have been re-enabled. Additionally, a significant change to the new wiggle system has been implemented: Survivors will no longer lose wiggle progress when not actively wiggling.
However, the Entity giveth, and the Entity taketh away; Haddonfield is disabled, to the joy of Killers and the disappointment of SWFs everywhere. Also of note are the handful of un-fixed bugs that Patch 5.5.0 introduced to the Nurse. Disappointing, but hey, at least BHVR is finally trying to fix her. Despite that, there are a ton of other bug fixes in this patch as well — check out the full notes below!
