How to fix Dead by Daylight not working

Dead by Daylight is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:

1. Check the report level for Dead by Daylight

   Look at the status at the top of this page: it shows whether user problem reports for the service are above their usual level, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. A clear spike means many people are hitting the same wall; a quiet graph points to your connection or your install.

2. Restart Dead by Daylight and your network

   Fully close the game and check that it is not running in the background. On PC, close Steam or the Epic Games Store from the system tray, then reopen it; on console, quit the game from the home menu and restart the console. Unplug your router for 30 seconds, then plug it back in before launching the app.

3. Verify game files for Dead by Daylight

   On Steam, open your Library, right-click the game, choose Properties, then click Verify integrity of game files under Installed Files. On Epic, open your Library, click the three dots on the game tile, select Manage, and choose Verify. Let the launcher finish, then start the game again.

4. Contact Dead by Daylight support

   If nothing changes, gather your platform, your in-game name, the exact message on screen, and a short clip of the failure. Send those through the official help centre at https://support.deadbydaylight.com.

While Dead by Daylight is down: what to use instead

• Identity V If you want the same four survivors against one hunter setup on your phone, NetEase's Identity V runs on its own servers, so a Behaviour outage won't touch it.
• Evil Dead: The Game It pits four survivors against a demon player on PC and consoles.
• Help centre Check https://support.deadbydaylight.com for known issue notes before you reinstall the game or verify your files.
• Official account on X Behaviour posts maintenance and server notices on the game's X account, which tells you whether the downtime is planned or something broke.

Problems at the same time as Dead by Daylight

When several services get problem reports at once, something they share, such as a cloud host or a network, can be the real cause. Matching times alone do not prove it.

A spike is a sharp rise in problem reports from users, as the live pages showed it. Times are Central European time.
