initialization error for PC

in Bug Reporting

Every time I try to login to DBD from steam I am always hit with "initialization error". I have uninstalled and redownloaded, cleared cache, checked connection, restarted the game, synched to steam cloud, you name it I have done it. Not sure if this is a bug or some other server issue but I legitimately cannot play the game no matter what I do. It was working fine 4 days ago, but it all started 2-3 days ago out of nowhere. no variable on my end has changed whatsoever.

    Having the same issue. Additionally, after a match has concluded, it will give me a match error or bloodweb error and kick me out into the main menu or login menu. If it kicks me out into the login menu, it will sometimes say I do not have the latest version of the game, despite the fact that I do, and force shut down the game entirely.

    is there any fix to the error? how have you gotten past it to gameplay? I have not been able to log in for the past 3 days.

    I am not sure. It is extremely random for when it decides to let me in or kick me out. Even if I get into the game, there are all sorts of other errors that I have been dealing with. For example. the match search error:

    I've been having the same issue too - ever since 6.70/6.7. I've tried every Fix/Answer/Solution I could find since the past few months - but whenever I join/ or invite my friend to a SWF, I'm either a Ghost, they don't see me ready up, or we get separated while loading into/ when finding a match. It's ridiculously frustrating. Anybody have any other solutions I could try...? I've tried Verifying my game/local files, Restarting my game, sending my friend the invite through Dead By Daylight's Friends List, sending the invite through Steam's Invite list, Uninstalling and Reinstalling my Game...I don't know what else I can try >.<
