Do only console players play anymore?

[Echorion]

Pretty much only get console players, either most or all of every lobby is on console.

If you turn off crossplay though, you just don't get a match. Like ever in my case. I waited 30 minutes, nothing. Tried again, 15 more minutes, nothing.

So either there are basically no players on PC at all- or behaviour did something to intentionally make it take longer if you turn crossplay off; to try and coerce you into turning it back on for their sake and their queue numbers sake.

Please note that when crossplay is off, it is only matching you with other players also in a non-crossplay queue. This can lead to significant wait times.

Indeed, however before all these useless changes, you were able to find matches with no crossplay within a few minutes -so something was obviously changed. Unless PC players all left DBD simultaneously.

Also, even when it is on I almost exclusively get console players.

There are 38,332 players online on PC right now on steam alone. Something just doesn't make sense here.

They can be from Epic as well

[Branchu]

Seems that way, and by in large they are all terrible.

Exactly, but on steam alone there are plenty.

Something just doesn't add up here.

How do you know if people are on console or just on Epic? It's the same logo for both. Try using the chat, and you'll see that you'll often get replies, which means they're on Epic.

Almost like console is where the majority of players play games, funny that.

I mean if it were not for crossplay, I don't think there would be matches at all... which sadly tells you how this game is going

They should add proper icons telling people what platform their on, cannot be that hard to do that since other games have been doing it.

Not true, it has more people than other online games that have fast matchmaking without any crossplay at all. In fact, the two I am thinking of also require more people for the game to even start.

Depends on the game, but yes that was what I was asking. Once told that it refuses to match PC players in queue if they are not also disabling crossplay, was a bit of a nudge that maybe things could be handled differently however.

problem is, if u turn of crossplay, how many killers will u find and the survivors probably play swf.. iäve tried to turn off crosspaly but i get stuck in "match found".. before crossplay u got game after 1-3min.. now i have to run around and play laggy games because we are forced to play crossplay.. and ngl 90% of console players are insanly "good"
