How to get in contact with a dev

Preface: My game has been crashing ever since the 8.5.0 release came out.

I have tried many fixes, including:
- DbD Support
- DbD Discord (Crew, Game Tutors, and other members)
- Linus Tech Tips Discord
- Reddit
- Other game developers

And nothing worked.

DbD is the only game I am crashing in. No other DirectX11/12 games I have had any issues in like Marvel Rivals, Overwatch, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, etc.

All "fixes" tried so far:
Contacting DbD support with the following tries at fixing:

  • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
  • sfc /scannow
  • Clean boot
  • Reinstall Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables x86 and x64
  • Reinstall the game and then verify files

Other fixes tried:

  • DX12 launch option added
  • DX11 launch option added
  • DDU (DDU with no internet, restart, DDU again with no internet, restart and reinstalled drivers before connecting to the internet)
  • Stress test GPU to look for any issues with 3DMark
  • Play other games that use DX11/DX12 like Overwatch, Marvel Rivals, etc to try and replicate the issue to no avail
  • Ensure Windows is up to date
  • Reinstalled windows
  • DDU the same as above but installed Nvidia's most recent stable driver version 566.36 along with trying (Also tried with versions 572.16, 572.42, 572.47, 572.60, and 572.70)
  • Disabled my overclocking while playing DbD
  • Updated motherboard to latest BIOS to enable ReBar
  • Updated GPU vBIOS to enable ReBar
  • Modified Timeout Detection in regedit (only made the crash take a minute longer instead of instantly)
  • Checked to see if it still occurred on the 8.6.0 PTB which it did

So as can be seen I really need one of the game developers from Dead by Daylight to look into this issue and to fix it. I have over 40 crash reports sent and that can be seen in the logs from when I sent all of them.

    Maybe its not a you thing and has to be fixed on their end with bug reporting. Ive had a time where my game would not play unless i verified integrity of game cache then restart computer (because of an error reloading the files that gets fixed on restart) - every other time i went to play and it was something they fixed with a bug report

    I've done that before every game I've played hasn't fixed it. It has only happened since the 8.5.0 Update, and even the most recent 8.6.0 PTB did not fix the issue.

    I don't mean itl fix your issue. It was the temporary fix for my issue until i sent it as a bug report (on this page) and it was fixed afterwords by bhvr. So im suggesting to go to the bug reports section (of this page) and report the whole problem in detail and they will look into it. Otherwise this section of the page is for recommendations and general stuff

    What's your Power Supply able to produce vs. what is the theoretical consumption of your rig?
    What is the cap between those two, cause I used to have like 300 watt to spare and it didn't like me playing DBD.
    Now I have like 500watt extra and everything runs as it should,

    Not saying you have the same issue, just trying to help with my experience.

    ALSO, make sure every lil chipset is updated too, Ive also had such an experience.
