Infinite Loading Screens

P.S.: - crossplay was "on"

...and, yes, not only incenses are burned, but also as Killer all roundwise add-ons are lost.

Happened to me twice so far on PS5, crossplay on. I queued up solo as a survivor in a lobby and both games I've tried to play so far gave me the bug. Didn't get any info on the first instance but here's a screenshot of the results screen from the second

This has happened in about 40% of my games today. It happens both as killer and survivor. How can BHVR not fix this by now? This is the only game that I play where I experience this. Do they just not know how to program for a lobby and matchmaking? Someone at BHVR has to think...gee....maybe we should fix this once and for all.

Just had one happen.

PC with another PC player in SWF. I am playing Jake, they are playing David King. I brought a plain yellow medkit, they brought a plain yellow toolbox. Party streamers, black ward, and a cursed seed were the offerings (might've been another I can't remember.) Interesting to note that in the screenshot, DBD appears to be busy halted on a thread, indicating that maybe that has something to do with it? Memory usage is stable, GPU usage is normal, and disk usage is only minor at around 0.1 MB/s.

Oh it finally ended because of two dc's (one of which was my friend.) Sending screenshot of the lobby as well.

Still happens a lot like 20-30% of the games. And some games you spawn in and play for 20 seconds and then it ends and says someone has DC..more likely they never spawned in but is stuck in loading screen while others started the game.

It's been happening to me ever since Mikaela was added into the game. I play maybe 6 hours on/off a day and it happens maybe twice a day. It does not seem to be related to anything because I tend to switch between survivors. I mainly play Jill though and I only play survivor. The bug occurs when trying to load into the match and the infinite loading screen ends when someone just disconnects. Crossplatform is enabled and I play on pc. I mostly queue solo.

PS4

Infinite loading more often than not when loading in to a match. Happens both with crossplay on and off.

Only when playing killer so far though.

I've stayed in multiple loading queues after offerings have been burned. 100% of the time the loading will cease if the killer dcd. But NOT if a survivor dcd. Maybe look into the peer connections as to way connecting to killers is so problematic.

Only happens to me when loading into a match

(Crossplay on)

I just had a game that took 10 minutes to load into, and 3 gens in the game just crashed. Playing Xbox One matchmaking with crossplay disabled.

Any updates on this? Got three infinite loading screens in a row

PS4/CROSS-PLATFORM-ON/MATCHMAKING-KILLER

OK now, besides of the infinite 20min loading screen, I get "can't connect to host". My end is clean, open ports and everything. This is the only game that's causing issues. FIX IT PLZ!!!!

Playing in custom games the issue also occurs. Cross-platform play enabled, Steam & PS4 users in lobby. We had 2 consecutive matches when a specific PS4 user was trying to be killer where we got infinite load, but it was not isolated to this user. It happened at least 2 times prior in a span of approximately 15 games where conditions e.g. survivor and killer selections were varied.

Cross platform loading into match

I play on PS4, system software is up to date. I don't play via wifi but via cable, so I have a stable internet connection. 

The problems mainly occur when I want to play Killer. There are 2 variants:

1. I try to get into a lobby, this attempt aborts and then it says that I was disconnected from the host. Sometimes only a complete restart of the PS4 helps. 

2. I am in a lobby as a killer and then comes the infinite loading screen. Again, only close the game helps (then usually comes the problem that I was disconnected from the host) but mostly I have to restart the console again. 

I play with crossplay. My wife on the PC has not yet had these problems. 

I have completely reinstalled the game once, then it became less, but it is still not completely gone. As a solo survivor, I have only had it twice when trying to load into the match. 

At first I suspected certain addon combinations - for example with Piggy I wanted to test the video tape and Amanda's letter together to see if only one survivor would have an RBT on. 

I also have the feeling that there are more problems when I use Totemperks - but so far I could not see any connections. 

By the way, if you have selected an archive task, it is not selected anymore after the restart. It doesn't matter if it's the Halloween tome or the normal one. 

What I also notice is that when I play Mikaela and she is saved by the hook, she stands for a while and I can't move her. I have also seen this with other Mikaela players, when I had Aura view. They sometimes suddenly make huge distance away. 

In general, the PS4 has some strange lags at the moment and also dubious hitboxes again. 

First match of the day.

10 minutes+ in a killer queue.

Infinite loading.

Had to restart game.

Solo queue survivor. 3 matches out of 5 didn't load. Playing as Det. Tapp. Only Mikaela in one match. Both matches that went through correctly were against Spirit.

Took a 2 day break. Just logged on to do some dailies and see if BHVR managed to fix a glaring issue before the next monday. (Wednesday if we're being honest) They didn't. Go figure right? This is my shocked face :| Do you see it? <--

Every other match, playing killer, same bug. We should all know the problem is predominately caused by console killers by now. BHVR doubly so but here we are.

Here's to hoping they'll extend the Halloween event tome by a few days, at least. Since, you know, the per usual game breaking bugs preventing people from completing it. Many of whom rely on the weekend to do so. Sometimes I wonder why I bother playing this game. I love it, but this is ridiculous, and not without precedent.

EDIT: Xbox. Crossplay on. Killer: literally doesn't matter. Yadda Yadda on and on we go.

EDIT: EDIT: 4..matches..in...a...row. Nothing in common except all were me trying to play killer on Xbox, and the fact that the only thing that exceeds my stubbornness in trying to play your game is my poor luck. At this point, (the table flipping point), I applaud your upcoming competitors to the unique brand that is your game's genre. Not because I intend to jump ship, but instead because I assume you'll have no choice but to take things seriously and prevent absurd bs like what's occurring at the moment and has occurred, in similar magnitude, several times before. I have years of effort, and money, invested in the product that is this game. The LEAST that its developers can achieve is making sure it functions at the bare minimum I've grown accustomed to. You know, when it isn't utterly broken by updates that are, ironically, meant to be QoL changes.

Can you please disable the penalty of leaving while loading a match until this bug is patched, I'm losing so much grade progress when I have to force close the game during one of these

It happens when the killer is playing on Switch IME.

I had 5 attempts trying to play killer on Switch and it always stuck on loading screen.

I had no problem playing as survivor on Switch or playing any role on other platforms (PC, PS4).

Not surprisingly if you play killer on Switch and Crossplay, everyone got the loading screen treatment as the killer can never materialize into the game.

Platform: Switch

Role: Killer

Crossplay

I've been able to play survivor just fine, but as killer I have the infinite loading screen everytime.

And sometimes the game won't even let me get into a lobby.

Happened to me several times in the last 2 days.

I was always playing solo survivor, with Mikaela (with default and purchased skin), on PS5, crossplay ON, with offerings and item on hand.

Its happening when I'm doing a Custom Game, 2 attempts so far all the information I can give is this

Survivors: Tapp, Nea, Steve, Feng Min

My perks: Saboteur, Blood Pact, Breakout, Hope

Items: Ranger Medkit with Refined Serum and Gel Dressings

Killer in match 1 was Executioner (no add-ons, the player forgot to equip them

Killer in match 2 was The Pig (add-ons unknown)

Platforms Steam, Xbox Series S, Xbox One X, Xbox One

Hope this information helps.

Tried to start a game as killer the doctor had the infinite load glitch on normal ps4 with crossplay on. Got past the matchmaking lobby and was waiting for the match to start I gave it 5 minutes turning it off

Maybe this bug is occurring when someone switches roles for the first time or it has to do with the killer role. Was playing survivor all morning with no infinite loading screen, even on my first game of the morning as survivor and no infinite loading screen. Decided to switch to killer and tried to play 2 games one of which is one attempt as we speak and back to back infinite loading screens for my first games as killer.

Interestingly enough, it also happens when I boot up the game and decide my first game of the day will be killer and of course, it has the infinite loading bug.

So does this bug have to do with the killer role that is the question. I don't really have issues with it as survivor. Just killer. Only killer.

ROLE: Killer.
Platform: PS4.
Crossplay: Enabled.

As of this moment I'm about to attempt my THIRD attempt at being able to actually play killer, wish me luck.
