Explanation

I wanted to highlight a significant issue that continues to impact the fairness and enjoyment of Dead by Daylight. In many matches, survivors clearly dodge attacks on their screen such as fast-vaulting windows, dropping pallets, or running away only to still get hit due to desynchronized hitboxes and generous lag compensation, especially when killers have high ping. In big 2026, for a competitive online multiplayer game, this level of hit registration inconsistency and latency exploitation represents a massive problem that undermines fair gameplay and player trust, those situations are way too common now.
