Behaviour Interactive has today released Dead by Daylight Bugfix Patch 7.2.3. Usually, these bugfixes don’t change too much in the game because they’re meant for small, ad-hoc changes for things that might break a player’s experience. However, today’s patch is slightly more potent.
Bugfix Patch 7.2.3 brings Flashlights and their associated Perks back to Dead by Daylight, meaning those players who have been lost without them can finally start to play normally again. Flashlights were removed because a massive exploit that used them was exposed, but it seems as though the developer has fixed that now.

Last week, Behaviour Interactive removed Flashlights from Dead by Daylight due to a game-breaking exploit they could be used for. The exploit allowed Survivors to use the Flashlight to clip inside of lockers and hide from Killers. This ruins the core experience, which is why the item, as well as the Perks that allowed Survivors to pick them up in a Trial, were hit with the Killswitch.
Dead by Daylight Bugfix 7.2.3 adds Flashlights and the linked Perks, Dramaturgy, Appraisal, and Residual Manifest, back to the game because the locker exploit they were used for has been patched out. The only other thing this bugfix does is add a missing animation for Survivors placing Blast Mine or Wiretap on traps on generators. Previously, those missing animations would’ve made the Survivor invisible and impossible for Killers to hit.
In one of the various threads on the bugix on the Dead by Daylight Subreddit, players are already celebrating. “Who gives a shit about flashlights. Dramaturgy is back!!!!!!” They’re also already dreading the inevitable surge of Flashlight users now they’re back. “I feel because flashlights have been gone so long everyones gonna running em.”
From what we’ve seen, players are more excited about the return of Dramaturgy, one of the Perks Nicholas Cage added to the game, than Flashlights. “Finally, I can run Dramaturgy again! All hail the gamba!” This speaks to how much players love a little randomization in every Trial, adding to the excitement of every match.

Those who were hoping for Red Dead Redemption to get a modern re-release certainly got their wish in the most monkey’s paw way possible, with a rather conventional port of the title (to say the least) being released for Nintendo Switch and PS4 in August. There wasn’t really much to speak of with the port where visual and technical improvements were concerned, though Rockstar has now added in a feature that many bemoaned the absence of.

Gigantic is—or was—a free-to-play «strategic hero shooter» that went into full release in July 2017 and almost immediately fell into misfortune. In November 2017, developer Motiga was closed, and just a couple months later publisher Perfect World announced that the game would suffer the same fate in July 2018. But now, improbably and unexpectedly, it looks like it might be making a comeback: Gearbox has confirmed that invitations to a «limited time throwback event» are legit.
