Dead by Daylight 9.6.2 | Bugfix Patch Notes (12th May 2026)
Dead by Daylight's 9.6.2 patch re-enables The Pig's Amanda's Letter add-on and cleans up a long list of audio, character, and perk bugs.
The Pig mains can breathe again. Dead by Daylight's 9.6.2 bugfix patch is live today, and the headliner is the re-enabling of Amanda's Letter, which also brings Jigsaw's Sketch and Jigsaw's Annotated Plan back to working order after a bug was found preventing those add-ons from correctly affecting RBT count. If you play The Pig seriously, that's your core add-on kit restored.
Beyond that, there's a solid sweep of audio fixes that should have been annoying anyone paying attention. Distorted Dream Snare SFX for Nightmare, an unusually loud Dredge Nightfall warning inside lockers, and Tomie's audio bleeding into Spirit matches have all been addressed. The Executioner also gets a fix for Obsidian Goblet breaking Spirit Fury on ranged attacks, and The Blight's token loss on pallet breaks with three or fewer tokens is now working correctly. Neither of those are minor, especially the Blight fix, which was quietly distorting how his power plays in chase.
There are also environment fixes for Midwich Elementary School hooks and two projectile-blocking collision issues in The Forgotten Ruins. Here's the full breakdown.
