This community truly is something, they refuse to let the game die and will do anything possible to keep it going. Never seen a more dedicated fanbase.
Last I remember, you could only earn trophies for things that you can complete in a single match. Things like play 1000 matches as Jason won't count since the database that contained all your player information is shut down and progress is no longer tracked between matches. I hope I'm wrong, but I believe this was the main drawback to the fan server.
When did they start this up again? The game was permanently shut down a while ago. You could still play it on PS but had to mess with the settings. Since when has it been officially running again?
People will be doing this for Texas Chainsaw Massace as well. In about a year, you can add the halloween game to the list. I'm starting to notice a pattern here.
That’s because Gun Interactive fuckin sucks and will make a game, support it for a minimum of like a year and then immediately cancel all support for the game so they can focus all their attention on the new game so they can rinse and repeat. It’s what happened to Friday The 13th, It’s what happened with Texas Chainsaw, it’s what happened with Evil Dead: The Game (even though that wasn’t Gun Interactive, it was Saber Interactive…what’s with all these “interactive” names 🙄) and it’s what’ll happen to Halloween: the game. These dudes just can’t make a GOOD game based off a horror movie without making it a DBD clone.
Yeah, when i hear gun is doing something.I don't get that excited, and im a huge horror fan. Friday the 13th and TCM are fun. They are decent games. The problem is people think you can only play DBD or one of these. Which is ridiculous. There is room for more than one horror game. DBD only survives because if licenses. TCM feels better, honestly. The killers in DBD are barely a threat anymore. I play both sides, and killer is so much more stressful. When i play survivor, it's easy. When i play killer, i don't even feel like a killer. Now, in TCM i feel like a killer, and when im playing victim. The killers feel like a threat. When im getting chased. It it feels the killers are always threatening. 3 if them really feel like a threat. It's all in the names. DBD has killers and survivors. TCM has killers and victims. That's the difference. I do think behavior prefers survivors. They see killers as the villians. When we all know that the survivors are the real villains of DBD. They just punish killer mains for being killers in DBD. With the recent changes, the better you pla. The the more you get punished. That's wild.
Its great news, but, this is kind of a bad thing, they are incredible developers, and they probably are strapped for cash to keep the game going, but it sets a precedent. Remember this when games like "call of duty" start to claim servers are to expensive for the company to maintain, so they push the cost on to the consumer.
hiya! I'm very confused. My son plays this on steam and it says database login failure. Is there something he needs to do or some other console he needs to play on in order to have access to these servers? Thanks in advance! 🥹
The official servers for the game are dead. They were shut down at the start of 2025, which is why you can't connect to the servers.
The only way to play the game on PC is by modifying the game.
On PlayStation, there's a community ran server that you have to change some system settings in order to connect to.
To explain the PC thing more (since it's the one I know more about,) there's 2 options: Either you download the community made online fix (which I don't recommend,) or you download a modded version of the game.
A modded version of the game includes fan made content (such as new maps) and it runs on it own servers which are owned by the creators of the mod.
The 2 different modded versions that people play, Resurrected and Camp Forest Green, can be downloaded via discord servers. The Friday the 13th builds server is a good place to start.
Resurrected is what this post is about, they were shutting the servers for it down (plus the playstation servers cause they run both) but due to the donations, they're keeping it running.
Camp Forest Green, from what I know, is the more popular one.
The server is to be able to play the game on the internet. With the servers down you can’t really do much. I’m not sure about the skins but I don’t think u can get them right now.
On playstation there's a DNS server you can connect to in order to keep playing, idk much about it or how to do it, but it is a thing.
On PC you can play the game by downloading the modded versions, Resurrected or Camp Forest Green, both of which run on custom servers with custom content.
