Dead by Daylight patch 5.0.2 works to fix RPD map (but it’s not back yet)

Players may occasionally run into it, however...

Dead by Daylight patch 5.0.2 is working towards the reinclusion of its new RPD map, though developer Behaviour Interactive said that time is not now.

The update is available on all platforms and includes a host of performance improvements and bug fixes. For now, the RPD map can be selected in custom matches but not ranked games.

“There is a small chance that players will encounter the Raccoon City Police Station map in ranked matches,” Behaviour clarified in a tweet. “This is necessary in order for it to be accessible in custom matches. The team is still working on a fix for the crashes related to this map.”

The RPD map was taken offline on the same day Dead by Daylight‘s new Resident Evil expansion launched. Map offerings to try to spawn the RPD have also been removed from play so players don’t waste them.

Full patch notes are below.

Performance Issues

This update contains a few changes that should improve performance for many players. That said, some performance issues still remain. The team is still actively working on more fixes across multiple platforms, including consoles. We will be monitoring the changes made within this bugfix patch for stability.

We’re hoping this update will also help performance on the Raccoon City Police Station map, but we want to ensure it is stable enough to be reinstated for live games. We will be monitoring how the map is doing in custom games with these new changes and provide you all with an update soon.

Thank you for your patience as we continue to work on further improvements to the game’s performance!

Switch Performance

We have reduced the overall visual quality on Switch to help improve performance. The game may still crash when played on the Raccoon City Police Station map, but less frequently. Rest assured, we are still working on ensuring that the new map does not crash on this platform.
