Dead by Daylight crash on Xbox Series X

Platform: Xbox Series X

Description: Upon loading up the game and trying to enter any lobbies the game has an extremely high chance of crashing. Once in a match the game works fine, it's only the menus and lobbies causing the crash. The game will start to load into a lobby as normal but will often freeze and eventually it will force quit the game. Upon trying to start the game after a crash, a lot of the time the game will load the splash screen then force quit again. After that happens, if you try to relaunch the game it'll launch normally.

Steps to reproduce: Launch the game until you reach the menus, then click on Play as Survivor or Play as Killer. There is a high chance it will crash, although there is a chance it will load normally.

How often does this occur: Upon testing, this issue occurred 5 out of the 5 times I've tested it.

Attached is a video of the issue occurring, after initially getting into the game it crashed shortly after trying to load into a lobby full of people. However, this happens even getting onto the main lobby on your own before searching for any games. Actual crash happens at 0:51 in the video.

    Lol I love how there are so many new forum posters (including me) who all made accounts over the past 1-2 days just to comment on these threads in hopes of reaching out to the developers

    After more testing I can only load the killer menu. Opening the survivor menu freezes the game.

    It's a shame how they left us with no information, no updates. And a lot of people like me, losing progress on the rift pass. I like DbD a lot, but after this i must think if they deserve my time and money.
