People of the Fog,

we have been seeing a increasing amount of FAILED TO JOIN THE GAME cases since the last update, specifically on console.
It looks like this and it prevents the player to join games:

We cannot reproduce this bug internally so we need your help!
Our team will inspect specific Community cases.

WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU

  • Player ID (under in-game SETTINGS)
  • Exact time the game client started to fail to join games
  • The exact times you tried to join a game again

Every comment that isn't answering this post with specific information will be deleted.

Thank you for your help!

The Dead by Daylight team

    Exact time :  27th Sept, Wednesday 1PM IST (3:30 AM Ottawa, ON, Canada) (First time I played since the shrine update) 
    Exact times I tried to join a game again : About 15 times before restarting the game. After a few games, I realised it was bugged. So I just wait for it to disappear before I join the game. 

    EDIT : Updated the player ID @not_Queen

    Player I’d: beatbox101wifey
    exact time: not sure, but started for me a day or two before I got the update. 
    Exact time rejoining: it happens after every game, survivor and killer. I try a few times before closing out of app and restarting it. I do not have a picture but mine looks just like the person who answered also with the spinning loader that stays for awhile and I am unable to back out of the lobby until it stops or I close out game.

    Failed to join today (02 Oct 2018) at about 1000am (EST: Canton, Ohio). This issue has happened multiple times over the course of this past week. Mostly these game times were later at night between 2200 to 0030, my wife was also getting this ID: 8a6d7e88-86f8-4b8a-a659-66cfa43ee3bb

    Not sure what other info could help.

    Can you guys give us the IN-GAME player ID?
    It is a long alphanumerical string under SETTINGS in-game.
    Thank you! :)

    Exact time the game client started to fail to join games: The day the trapper cosmetic update came out on ps4, don't have any exact timer on that.
    The exact times you tried to join a game again: About 14-16 minutes after the update came out, since I was online at the time of the arrival. It happens after every game I play, no matter if it's a short game or a long one, however if it's a shorter game the "Failed to join a game" waiting time isn't so long.

    @not_Queen question for you. Will this help the development team pinpoint the problem? Or do you think the shrine update may solve the problem?

    The time it happened is after the shrine update. Not sure the exact time.

    Right after the first game the circle appear and even restarted my internet. Did not fix the issue not reinstalling it.

    Think it started around the time the spirit was released dont know what exact time.

    Everytime after a match a lil white circle appears on that right side of my screen and it won’t let me join a match and won’t let me go to the menu until it stops which usually takes around a minute or so and sometimes when it stops it won’t let me accept invites or go to survive with friends.

    I'm having that circle since I purchased the new trapper cosmetic on Sep.26. Since then the circle appeared everytime I finished a game. It doesn't appear if I dc/crash during the game.

    Exact time not sure. It's been about a week so I would have to say it was fine before that patch came out then it's doing what the players above noted. Temporarily fix will be closing the app and starting the game back up will allow you one game and then after that game the problem comes back until you repeat that same process over. 

    If for some reason I gave the wrong player id send me an email or write back on here. I think I got it correct though

    The day when i noticed the issue was 9/29. It was first time me playing after the patch.

    It happens after every game, about 3min wait and it's ok again to join a new game.

    But two times happened that when a host quit a game (you are in a game about 10sec then back to lobby), the bug doesn't exist and you can join a game immediately.

    Exact time the problem occurs: As soon as I exit the end of the game screen, the small white entity circle pops up and persists for 2-3 minutes. Closing my Dead by Daylight application and starting the game back up fixes the issue for now.

    Don't know how much of a help this will be, since my case is similar to everyone else's. Started with the shrine update, sticks around for a hot minute after every game, killer or survivor. If there's anything I can do to help, let me know, right now I have a nice built-in smoke break.

    The first time it happened was after the Shrine Update on September 27th, if I recall correctly. Ever since then everytime a match ends I’m unable to join a game for the next minute or two, it displays the message “fail to join a game”. The last time it happened was today at 12:49pm, local Brazil time. (As I write this post).

    Everyday this week it is taking 2 to 3 minutes after ending a match before I can start another one. I have been playing between 5 PM and 9 PM EST each day and it happens after every match. I have the spinning circle on the right hand part of the screen and am unable to join a lobby, visit the store, go back to the main menu, or switch from Killer/Survivor while it is spinning. It seems almost like the triangle and circle buttons are not functioning as any action that requires one of these buttons doesn’t work. I have a video showing the end of a match and then the spinning circle I can send if it will help.

    past two days giving me trouble connecting after a match is finished.
    backing out of a lobby and joining a new one is fine.
    mostly play in afternoon and night between 5pm and 2am CEST.

    This problem happens every time after a game ends. I have to wait 2-3 minutes to search a match again.

    Okay since I am a major in game development this is the best I can give you

    This bug happens after the end of a match. That symbol on the side that gives the player noticed that something is loading in similar to when you're waiting for the cells.

    The estimated waiting time is 2 to 5 minutes before I can rejoin a match. This isn't as prevalent or just doesn't appear when playing survive with friends

    This problem started happening to me about 2 or 3 weeks ago. So the exact day would be September 20th in the afternoon approximately 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time EST.

    I tried to join a game directly after this happened 11:05 Eastern Time EST, but now I have to close my app and reopen it because it takes too long to fix itself. It takes roughly 2 minutes for me to join another game or do anything.

    I hope this information can help you fix this problem for me. Thank you in advance!

    Here's a thought. I have this problem (already sent in a ticket) but I wonder if the problem may only occur for players with a physical disc. My friends who have digital copies don't experience this but I do and I have the physical disc.

    the first time this problem happened was on the first of October and came up after finishing a killer match.
    now every time I finish a game of both survivor and killer this problem appears. It takes about 2 minutes until you can leave the lobby or start another game.

    The exact times you tried to join a game again:This problem occurs every time after the game ends, and if you do not wait for 2 minutes to 3 minutes you can not play the next game.
    Other: Reinstalling the game does not solve the problem.

    I've been experiencing this problem for 2-3 weeks now and it takes about 2-3 until the “white circle of doom” disappear and you’re able to join matches again. It only appears after completing matches. Quitting,
    DCing from matches is not affected by it apparently.
    Restarting the games helps, yes, but it’s quite annoying. So I’d rather wait.

    The exact times you tried to join a game again- Every time I get out of a match, it says that I've failed to join a game and there is a little loading circle to the right side of my screen under rank and survivor level. Each time I've have to reboot game or wait 2-3 minutes for the icon to go away.

    It happens after everygame.
    I play on PS4 and have the digital version. This has been happening since the trapper got an update.
    Time zone EST. Failed to join game started 2:49pm today and ended at 2:51  pm. You can contact via email if you need other information of need to setup a screen share.
