Hi everyone

I have been having a problem with running DBD on my laptop ever since the Singularity/masquarade event dropped. To summarize my problem: I boot up game (killer, survivor or custom, doesn't matter which), play game normally for around 10-15 minutes, game start flickering and bugging out visually (my UI/HUD is completely fine throughout this), i play game in this handicapped state for 3-5 more minutes (if i'm lucky and it doesn't crash immediately) and then i get booted back to steam. It's not my internet (i have checked) and it's not my laptop either as it can run other games completely fine. I have done everything in my power to get it to work from my side (re-installing, updating my own laptop, verifying the files) but nothing works. I tried seeing if it was a bug in the bug report section, but it was apparently not. Is anyone else experiencing this or has any tips to what i can do to help either lessen or solve my situation? I love playing this game with my friends and it sucks that i can't play it without getting booted every 30 minutes-ish. I can add videos of this happening if anyone wishes to see what i mean

    My friend has THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM starting since THE EXACT SAME TIME. He’s tried just about everything as well. He has given up. I unfortunately do not know a solution. Since you did not see anything in the bug report section and I cannot give any evidence myself, I would very much appreciate if you reported it. I’ll put up a post about it, I just don’t have the problem on my end so I can’t give any video.

    Thank you for trying to help. I'll definitely contact tech support or whatever to show them the issue in hopes that they can figure out what to do. I'm sorry to hear that your friend is having the same issue, it's arse to deal with. I will 100% give an update if I manage to find a solution so that your friend can see if this works for them
