The latest chapter update for Dead by Daylight introduced The Spirit and Adam Francis but also brought a slew of bugs into the game that many players complained about.
The Huntress had a bad hitbox with the last patch but the developers decided to change it back to what it was before the patch hit. Another issue was the Halloween music not playing when you select Michael Myers which was a common complaint on Reddit.
Most importantly The Spirit received a buff that makes her phasewalk power take 15 seconds to recharge instead of 20. This will make her more viable across every rank and make it less punishing to use the entire power.
Other bugs that were fixed include the pallet not stunning killers, the Clown VHS porn add-on allowing the Clown to practically speed hack and the Spirit being insta-blinded from a flashlight.
Here’s the full list of patch notes with this new hotfix:
