Xbox DBD Down?

What’s up with DbD on Xbox? I’ve tried to load it for 10 minutes and have restarted both the game and my console multiple times.

”Initialization Error”

    If I had to guess it could be related to them bringing dedicated servers to consoles, they already did it for PS4 so they could be doing Xbox now

    They should probably be more informative then than just an “initialization error”

    Yea any sort of information would be appreciated. I'm getting same error over and over restarting game and console doesn't help so I tried reinstalling it and it won't even start installing. It's not even showing its DBD that I'm trying to install and I've never seen this issue before on xbox for any game.

    The DBD twitter account posted that there are problems with the game on Xbox. It's not dedicated servers or anything, just a problem on Xbox's side

    How far did you all get in the loading process

    For me it stopped at "licence cashe"

    Was hoping it was dedicated servers tbh. Playing on ps4 feels better.

    Also xbox support says they think they found the problem and are working to resolve it. That was 5 minutes ago

    Finally actually began the reinstall and now I've gotten to the main menu so it looks good so far. Hope y'alls are working too!
