Any fix for error code 8014?

I've been stuck with it since the update today. I've restarted Steam and also tried verifying the files and neither thing has worked. Would be nice to actually play the game.

I'm guessing it's something to do with EAC as it doesn't seem to appear before the game launches like it usually does.

    Sadly a reinstall didn't work. Looks like the game is unplayable for me until the Devs do something about it.

    Hopefully we can get some word from the Devs and hopefully soon because not being able to play the game is quite the pain in the ass.

    okay, have you tried turning it off and on again?

    Hello!
    The error 8014 is a Connection error that occurs when you cannot connect to our backend services.
    It is normally caused by an overflow of our backend servers and will be resolved by itself when the system is stable.

    If the issue is still happening, I'd like to get a bit more information from you.

    It's fine for now. The game will launch properly with EAC if I use the Steam app but if I use my taskbar shortcut EAC won't load and i'll be hit with 8014.

    Have you tried launching the game from your Steam Library? It's what works for me.

    One thing to suggest is to make sure that after you uninstall do a restart to clean out anything still left in the cache. The other thing to ensure is your cpu/video card aren't overheating since those tend to mess with your nic card 1st.

    You'll definitely want to check out your power options settings since a lot of times nic cards are lowest priority when there's an issue. For laptops if you're low on power that's the 1st thing the laptop kills off to save power.

    I do have an issue with this as well. I was doing my own thing a few hours ago, just messing around with Trapper and then switching to some Survivor, when I left and turned off my PS4. When I got back on, I got "Error Code 8014". I'm rather confused as to what to do, as It won't even work on my Alt accounts (which I never really play DBD on, they're usually for testing to see if my online stuff is working). Is this a server issue, or is this a bug of sorts?
