Random Crashing out of Nowhere

Brevlada

SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE: My game has been working fine for the past week, no issues. I was playing this morning then closed the game to take a break, but upon trying to open the game again it opens to the loading screen that says "calculating latency" or "checking messages" then crashes. The game was working completely fine before this, I have no idea what's going on. I verified the game files, they were fine. I did a CMD scan and that was also fine, no errors.

Can you run the game without Discord on and see if you still have the issue?

I am getting the same issue too and closed out of Discord and it works. Not sure why this is now an issue pre 9.3, worked fine to play with Discord open up until this point!

If someone does try to open Discord after they have the game open, it then force closes the game, giving the crash reporter here:

I found that running Steam as admin fixed the issue last night. I use Discord pretty much all the time, especially playing DBD so having it closed to run the game isn't really a work-around or solution for me.

What is CloudID?

I'm also now getting this too when trying to update the game. But as I said yesterday, I have validated the files several times, this shouldn't be an issue. I also completely uninstalled and reinstalled the game.
