Cross progression syncing problem
Hi, so as a long time xbox player i switched to pc some time ago, hearing about the cross progression made me happy but I've came across a problem, site doesn't register that I played dbd on xbox, it shows that I have only ever been playing on steam despite that not being true, syncing xbox on the site doesn't seem to work…
2 V 8 mode bots
Hi, when the 2 V 8 mode is here, if a player disconnects will they be replaced by a bot? I'm assuming the answer is yes if a survivor disconnects just like in regular matches, but what if 1 or both killers disconnect? Thanks for info
I am having a panic attack
So apparently my steam account is already linked to behavior, BUT I NEVER DID? So someone has my steam account linked to behaviour and it isn’t me P.S support is being stupid and not helping cause “we can’t tell if you are the owner of the steam account”

What does killer level means? (Not the prestige)
I was recently trying to play as the Legion and noticed that under their name, "The Legion", there is a level 25. Its all in Russian but I think its pretty much the same in other languages. What does it mean?
Asking for a little reinforcement/verification about Cross-progression
Good day all! :) First I am very happy that Cross-progression will be available on 22nd of July. I planning to merge my Steam account and Xbox One account. I did all the steps that I found on this page: https://support.deadbydaylight.com/hc/en-us/articles/28201301903124-Cross-Progression-Set-up But instead of 'sync' I see…

I have had this…
Initialization Error
Everytime i load up dbd it says that there is an initialization Error and that the game has initialized incorrectly and may not save my game properly. I have restarted my game and my Xbox several times, I'm just wondering if this is on my end or it's the servers or something
Is this game competetive or casual?
Asking the developers
How the hell do I get rid of the annoying exclamation marks on my survivors?!
As above, they appeared since the update and I find it incredibly irritating for my slightly autistic nature! Why have they added this annoying 'feature'?!
When did they remove the good window from Verna’s Dungeon Map?
?
What's going on with the maps?
Most maps have changed (for the worse) a lot of them are bigger, with very weird tiles, and some are very small and cramped up?? Are they bugged or did they all receive a massive change? Ormond: This area is huuuuge now with so much deadspace + there is gen behind main building where before there never was one. The Jungle…
Nanomachine gel Addon - Singularity
*Decreases biopod cooldown by 15% after slipstreaming a survivor. What does this mean exactly, I may be overthinking it. Does this mean if a biopod is down by an emp it comes back 15% faster if I slipstream someone?
Anyone experiencing cross play being disabled? I didn't mess with it in settings.
Also it doesn't let me change the cross play back on.

Question Re: Switch Cross Progression
I understand from the released FAQ that DLC won't cross over from the Switch to other platforms. However the chart attached to the post shows perks and such still should. Am I understanding right that this means if I Prestige a Killer on Switch that I don't have on Steam, I'll get the perks even if I don't have the Killer?…
My account was banned for breaking TOS but it wasn't me.
On July 14th my Steam account associated with dead by daylight was compromised and stolen, it wasn't until July 15 that I had my account back thanks to steam support. After not playing dead by daylight for 2 weeks I enter the game to be received with a Perma Suspension for what it seems for no reason. I didn't receive a…

auric Cell charm
Hello, community. I have a question. Today I bought 500 auric Cell, I was in the game and paid normally via Steam. I thought if I bought it I would get an auric cells charm. Has it changed somehow or do I need to buy more? Thank you all for your reply.
Constant departures from the match

'Name & Shame' on Steam's profile
Hi, Is the 'name & shame' on a Steam's profile is allowed or reportable ? Because 'someone' tells many things about me & after a public match, I was toxic & insulting (?)

Does Windows of Opportunity show fake pallets?
If you use this perk and are playing against Freddy or The Doctor, do the fake pallets have a yellow aura too or can you tell they are fake because the perk won't highlight their auras?
What does "Respecting Pallets" mean?
I have heard Survivors on YouTube use this term when a Killer doesn't break a pallet that has already been dropped. Therefore, I thought respecting them meant not breaking them. However, recently in a few videos where a Survivor is narrating their gameplay, they will say something like "oh wow, he respected that pallet"…
