So to be honest since the patch came out I've been having the infinite loading screen much more frequently then before it starts by invite I spawn in my friends lobby their cross playing on switch and xbox then we find a lobby everything's fine then I'm hit with the infinite loading and everyone else gets disconnected back to the lobby but I'm just like there in the loading screen forever

It happened to me three times so far while I was trying to play as a killer. I just had survivors go invisible on me, and then they got duplicated. this game is going in the wrong direction. Somebody really needs to take accountability for this debacle. I'll post the video soon. it's ridiculous.

Hello! PS4 user here!
Was playing with my friends, cross platform , since they are on PC and I'm a console player.
I was going to play as the new survivor to do one of the challenges of the Halloween event, when SUDENLY we entered a really long loading screen that ended ( not sure ) when two of the players disconnected , this being 1 survivor and the killer.
Not sure if it got fixed because they left, or if they left and it got fixed with time.

NEW BUG:
The issue occurred loading into a match and I was playing solo q then it was matchmaking.
The problem is after you released this "fix" matches keep disconnecting from time to time, so while in a match the game does not close but the classic loading screen appears for some seconds and then you are out of the match in the first screen where you have to press "space" to load the game, you lose everything you did in that match but you don't get disconnected penalty. It happens a lot, and it sucks, the worst thing is that it does not save what you did in the match, so you LOSE your time, your add-ons, your offering, challenges, and everything lost for NOTHING, come on dead by daylight, at least save what you did in the match and give the reward with that, don't make me lose 20 minutes of my life for nothing.
(my cross platform option is as default)

It's been two days now I can't even get a match as killer. I'm on PS4 and have tried with both crossplay on and off, can never get a match as kileer but if I play survivor it only takes a few minutes

I've had infinite loading screens 2 out of 4 games so far this evening. It seemed better yesterday with only one infinite loading screen out of around 5 games, but it's back in full force today.

I use steam. Matchmaking too ages at 1am ish BST I loaded into a lobby as Killer (The Doctor) the lobby had 3 pc survs and 1 console survs. The PC survs disconnected one by one and then 3 more console survs loaded in. After offerings were burnt (2 pumpkin seeds and 1 secret surv offering) I was stuck it loading.

Bruh, how is this still happening? It’s like BHVR doesn’t know how to fix anything.

I’m sure they’re trying their best. Dosen't seem easy to fix as we don’t know what exactly is causing it.

Ps4 Cross enabled. Psn Projectenvoy
It happens about 70% of my attempts to get into the actual trial on both killer and survivor. They have ranged from 10-20 minutes occasionally a survivor or the killer will dc (likely to get out of the glitch) sending me to the score screen with the DC notice but then I'm locked there unable to continue without closing application. I've been practically unable to enjoy any games since the new chapter started
Main survivor Francis
Main killer Trapper

I was doing SWF with 2 other survivors, crossplay on. We played 1 game, then the next 3 had that very long loading time and there were dcs, and then we finally got another game.

It just happened to me right now. I am playing on PC, with Steam. I had a game before where the killer disconnected (maybe they lost connection, I don't know). Then, looked for another game in solo queue. I found the game and I was put in a very long / infinite load screen, unusually long, more than when one player disconnects during the loading screen.
I had to shut down the game with the task manager. I had crossplay enabled. And also I had been playing for hours with/against PC players and console players, with no problem.

Problems are continuing for me today as well. Managed 2 sessions as Legion, now I tried to load in as the Doctor and 2/2 I'm in infinite loading.
Guys, I give up. I've spent more time trying to load in the last 3 days than I have actually playing. You have to hire a bigger debug team. This whole thing of relying on the community to test everything and run bug reports like we're free labor is ridiculous.
I'm done. I'm out.

Greetings!
I'm on PS4 (killer) puplic matchmaking, cross-platform enabled. Ever since the new big oktober patch, I get the infinite loading screen. After like 10 -15 minutes the match is canceled. I usually get it 3 times out of 10 matches (ish). Also I have huge lag issues now too, wich wasn't the case before (except those lag spikes caused by survivors doing generators, chests, DH, etc.). I think the oktober patch is causing it. Survivors are literally teleporting after I hit them with a basic attack. I hope you guys can fix this, because it's getting unbearable on console now.

Just happened again twice back to back. Second time killer disconnected at about 30-40 secs remaining and we got a new one in the lobby. First time I didn’t notice if someone left during the countdown but it’s possible.
both times swf we had 3 pc and got a 4th with cross play on.

I haven't been able to get in as killer. I've tried multiple killers, boards and offerings. Can't get into a match.

Playing custom matches with my family. All on PS4, had no problems in the past but the last hour we have had numerous matches that have had infinite loading screens and no matches.

I can't get into a match as trapper on switch. Tried different perks and add ons, and multiple accounts. Trapper stuck in infinite loading screen. Lost several sacrificial cakes and iridescent add ons trying.
I've now tried Plague, Hag and Wraith. I didn't make it into any matches. I tried cross play on and off. I've wasted so much time waiting and experimenting just to try and play the game. Send me an email when this is all fixed. I don't have time for this.
With cross play off I got into one match which disconnected 15 second in.
All of my matches were solo matchmaking, no groups. Always got stuck loading into the match not the lobby.

Platform: PS4
Cross play: ON
The loading screen happens only when I play Killer and it starts when it's loading into the match. It goes like normal then I'm stuck on a full loaded bar for extended periods of time til it finally disconnects the match.
There's also another issue this brought by which is very poor connectivity while in a match as survivor to where people including myself get stuck on hooks but others are fine they eventually catch up to where they actually are meanwhile Im stuck and unable to move after being unhooked resulting in the killer just knocking me back down (still in standing or hanging animation BTW) and getting rehooked.
The game is literally unplayable rn please get this done as soon as y'all can. 🥺

I play on console and legit cannot enter a match as killer as i get the infinite loading glitch and am forced to close the application to even get back to the main menu

I’ve been having this issue ever since the update dropped. Whether there’s a Mikaela in the lobby or not, seems like 90% of the time the offerings get burnt and the loading screen never ends. I have to restart every time. I’m on Xbox One and play killer with crossplay on. This only happens when playing killer. Survivor games always load in perfectly fine

Platform: PS4. I'm still having the infinite loading since the update has been out. sometimes I am able to get into matches but for the most part it is just infinite. I have waited out the loading screens a couple of times and it just brings me to the match scoreboard because players have disconnected during loading because of the infinite loading. Not only this but in game there are a lot of new bugs. Like: it showing as a survivor is there but in reality they aren't ( you can hit them and it'll do the scream and animation and everything just nothing happens, then seconds later they disappear because they weren't really there. this usually takes a while before they disappear too so it just completely stops your momentum as killer), also this can have like a smaller variation where I like hit a survivor and they keep running like into a wall then it'll stutter and show where they actually are. kinda like running in place. This might be just with nemesis m2 since i only remember this happening when i m2 as nemy but it also might not be so idk. I'm pretty sure all this is because i have an old ps4 but i still wanna play the game you know

Starting to think it's console killer related judging by most of these posts and the fact that I get infinite loading screens when playing killer with crossplay both on and off on Xbox.

Infinite loading screen here (12 minutes), not any problem in the lobby, but when the match was starting. I was playing solo with Jake Park, Cross Platform on and with at least one Console/Stadia player on the match (don't know about the killer, but one survivor with Mikaela i think was console). I don't know if i can provide any more useful information, but there was 2 medkits and a flashlight (yellow one with Broken Bulb and Focus Lens), the other survivors where Bill, russian player by the cyrilic letters in his name, and the last one was a Meg if i remember correctly. The items were the flashy on the Meg, and the medkits on Bill (All Hallows' Eve Lunchbox no addons) and myself. I was using bandages and Butterfly Tape as Addons. (12 minutes later the match ended while i was writing this, so here is the rest)
Killer, also console, Cenobite, with Blight Serum and Wriggling Maggots, offerings, Cursed seed on the killer and Fresh Primose Blossom on miself.
I don't know if some of this can be useful information, but just in case, there it is.
Ty very much and much love!

Playing on the Steam platform.
Loading into a match, cross play active.
Was in a lobby with a Steam friend and they got the same infinite loading screen at the same times as I did.
I attempted to play about 5-6 games today and half of them were infinite loading screens.

I have had this issue several times today alone. I played as Meg Thomas, both solo queue and as SWF. In these two instances, I was forced to use task manager to quit the game (as were my friends in that case) - and the first quit in each scenario was followed by a second infinite loading screen, requiring another quit. In the SWF case we gave up and stopped playing, and in the solo case when I tried for a 3rd time, MM refused to connect me to a lobby and would unready me. It was only quitting the game for a 3rd time that resolved this.

Xbox, Crossplay is enabled.
I play either Killer or Survivor (solo or in group)
It happens when loading into a match whether it be Kill your friends (Customs) or Public Matches, it loads for like 15 to 20 to 35mins per match.
Plus when you close the game it unselects the challenge you previously selected when you booted it up prior of closing the game.
Usually happens more frequently with the New Survivor is in a lobby, but also happens alot when the new survivor isnt even in the lobby.

Playing on ps4
Infinite loading screen appears when going into a match, usually when I'm in a party.

I'm on PS4 and everytime I go against Freddy it disconnects everyone halfway through the round, crossplay was on. This happens consistently

Just had three back-to-back infinite loading screens when loading into a survivor game on PS5.
Each time I was Chris Redfield with a Ranger Medkit and a Cursed Seed, and each time my medkit and seed were destroyed.
So not playing the game anymore until this is fixed.

Playing on pc through steam. First match of the day after downloading the patch to potentially fix infinite loading screens. Public match. Crossplay turned on. Public match, solo queue for me, lobby had two pc survivors two console survivors. Got stuck loading into the match. Killer dc'd after 10 minutes of being stuck in the loading screen and looks like they were also a pc player.

I use Nintendo so always playing PC . My friend Bluenose can no longer play with me as he ( I think its a he) doesnt show up in the lobby. I find that if I use a halloween lunchbox, the game load is infinite and crashes. So I stopped using that stuff and it works better unless some one else uses it. I have played with 3 witches and seen infinite load. Seems like the more modified maps crash more often.

This problem happens for me in solo play. My friends no longer want a cross platform nintendo person anymore. They just refuse my invites now. (or maybe they are tired of me blowing generators. But they are all boys and they are all dogs)
