Help I keep missing skill checks

[SpacePirateKatz666]

I need help I play as survivor at times and the skill checks I keep missing them, I know I felt like I hit at the right time but nope, it always landed far away from the desired area.

I read on how to improve as in change the button so it is not space bar on the keybind, so I did I change it. and it doesn't do any good I still keep missing it , it work well once but after that it goes right back to being sucky again.

anyone got a sure way to make sure that I can get the skill check fine ?

Between the first sound cue , then wait till the skill meter shows up, then watching the pointer move and I usually feel I press at the right time, but it landed at the wrong time or off.. was it just me or something else ?

Make sure you aren't lagging. If not, then don't press based on the sound cue, that is too early. Press based on where the pointer is. Memorise where it supposed to be when you press then it will become muscle memory.

unlock your FPS and turn off vsync. The ingame GAME section and the UI section are rendered differently and combine (mclean used to talk about it) and the UI is capped at 60 so skill checks however they're kinda laggy they feel sticky, unless you're game FPS is higher, so unlock it and they're way more consistent.

Hun, I never say this but that is a skill issue. You just gotta keep playing and get used to it. I used to miss a lot of skill checks when I first started. Even if you have lag, all you need to do is understand the timing of your lag. It's not an impossible thing to learn and get better at though

Keyboard latency?

To see if it's a latency or lag issue within the game, or if it's an issue of getting used to the way the skill checks pop up and run, I'd suggest going to one of the online DBD Skillcheck Simulators. Run some skill checks, get some practice in, and see if you still have the same issue with the simulators

You're probably getting input delay which myself and a lot of my friends had since this game is pretty booty optimized.

Here is an older Reddit post on how to better optimize the game outside of the normal in-game settings. No, you won't get banned for doing these things.

Hmm not sure why it isn't working. It worked for me when I opened it in my discord. Try this one. Looks like the whole link wasn't copied.

with this site you can practice skillchecks as much as you want, it also has decisive strike practice (left upper corner settings "ds")

hope it helps a bit

otherwise, repair your files or reinstall it maybe, the usual fixes :D
