As a seasoned Dead by Daylight player with countless hours under my belt and a soft spot for The Knight, I can’t help but feel a mix of relief and disappointment upon reading the 8.1.2 patch notes. Relief because finally, one of his longstanding bugs has been addressed – the inconsistency in Guard preview icons. But, disappointment because it seems like the developers have yet to acknowledge or address The Knight’s other lingering issues that have made him feel more frustrating to play than before the rework and PTB.
Behavior Interactive, the developer behind DBD (Dead by Daylight), has rolled out their version 8.1.2 update, and it’s great news for fans as it addresses one of The Knight’s longstanding bugs. However, his other persistent problems continue to be overlooked, leaving a handful of dedicated Knight main players somewhat disappointed.
For newcomers, the DBD 8.1.2 patch resolved a problem where the Knight’s Guard preview icon on the Knight wasn’t matching the selected Guard during gameplay, which should help you smoothly switch between your minions in a match. However, as Reddit user Asmrdeus mentioned, this fix is just one step towards addressing The Knight’s numerous issues; playing as him currently feels less satisfactory compared to his state before the rework and playtest build (PTB).
Although numerous concerns have been raised, Behaviour has not yet acknowledged or addressed these issues, leaving their resolution uncertain. Consequently, at this point, you can only review the latest updates provided below and cross your fingers that the development team will provide additional solutions for The Knight in due time.
Dead by Daylight update 8.1.2 patch notes
Here are all of the changes you can expect with update 8.1.2:
Perks
Killer
- Stridor
- The effect of the perk is no longer multiplicative, meaning that it will increase Survivor grunts of pain volume (even if they have Iron Will)
Survivor
- Iron Will
- The effect of the perk is no longer multiplicative, meaning it will lower Survivor grunts of pain volume rather than set it to zero
Features
Bug Fixes
2v8

- Aura reveal SFX now correctly plays when being chased by a Killer.
Archives
- Fixed an issue where deselecting an image reward within Tome 20 Mythic’s journal collection would cause the game to freeze momentarily.
Audio
- A Killer disconnecting and being replaced by a Bot will now correctly trigger the “replaced by Bot” sound cue.
Bots
- Improved Bots pathing to avoid them trying to climb insurmountably steep hills.
- The Huntress Bot is now better at charging up her hatchet the correct amount.
