Behaviour Interactive has released the patch notes for Dead by Daylight’s 6.0.1 bugfix patch which smoothes out a bunch of minor annoyances.

Dead by Daylight is still going strong six years after its release in June of 2016.

Developer Behaviour Interactive has consistently added content to the asymmetric multiplayer experience, like new Killers, maps, and Survivors.

Now, the team has released the new 6.0.1 bugfix patch, which smooths out a slew of things like game crashes, menu lag, and other issues players have reported following the Roots of Dread Chapter 24 update.
