Dead by Daylight keeps disconnecting

Weak Wi-Fi, router or DNS trouble

Drops from matches and other connection trouble usually come from a weak Wi-Fi signal, a slow line, the router or blocked traffic on your network.

Is Dead by Daylight down right now? Operational: 11 problem reports in the last hour. If it were down for everyone, this problem could come from there; right now it looks normal.
Fix it

How to fix it

  1. Use a wired connection, or move closer to your router.

  2. Run a speed test and close other apps while you play.

  3. Turn off your modem and router for at least 15 seconds, then start the modem first and the router after.

  4. Release, renew and flush your DNS from the Command Prompt, then restart your PC.

  5. Make sure Windows Firewall is not blocking the game, and turn off any proxy.
