    Mine just straight up crashes with a unreal engine error dialog box appearing afterwards, not sure if I got my reward either. Haven't logged back in to the game to check. Don't really feel like playing if this is gonna be a common occurrence. Happening to other friends I know as well.

    I've had 3 crashes in less than an hour. I haven't had DBD crash on me in well over a year, and now the event starts, I suddenly get hard crashes like this. My DC penalty is going to keep getting higher and higher. It's ridiculous. They need to remove the penalty until they fix the issue. All the matches were over halfway through and I keep losing items, offerings, not getting any progression in my archives and I had full void energy both times and I didn't get any of the rewards.

    I just had a match on the Game map where I got shot by Deathslinger and half way through breaking free the game totally froze and then it looked like I was running inside boxes I was near and just moving odd. I killed myself on hook because the game was being super glitchy and I've already seen people say they've had game crashes. All my other matches nothing out of the ordinary, not sure what caused it in that match.

    Are you getting a penalty when you're getting these crashes?

    When the match started I only had 1/2 screen for the first 30 seconds lol

    I didn't actually log back in to check... but it didn't happen during the game so I'm thinking maybe it didn't penalize me? Don't know for sure, and hopefully someone else here can confirm if it does or not.

    most of current crashes are out of matches right now afaik

  • Mine has been crashing so randomly I can't even figure out what may be the cause. I've been just sending error reports through the Steam thing after a crash.

    Also to answer Mandy's question, my crashes have happened outside of games so far so penalty is N/A for me.

    My game just straight up freezes randomly since this update. Only way I can close the game is through task manager.

    And yes I do get penalties for this :(

    I am indeed getting penalties. I got up to a 15 minute ban before I stopped playing, I didn't want it going higher and higher. After 3 crashes, in my last match the game didn't even crash, it just froze completely before I had to force quit it with task manager. No audio, no movement, my computer was fine, but the game just hard froze.

    I'm getting crashes both in menus and in matches. After a crash in a match, I do indeed get a penalty

    @Mandy You should consider removing the DC penalty until these issues are resolved

    My game has crashed a few times, and plenty of other games where when I play as Killer the rubber banding is consistent, to the point where even when I do get a hit they either suddenly gain health and jump forward five feet or my weapon become coated in butter, massage oil, and bannana peels and just...slides off Survivors.

    I got locked out for 30 minutes last night trying to play killer. Crashing every other game. Very odd how my game was still fine when the Halloween update came out but now I am crashing during the 2x bp :( Maybe its a killer sided bug because I played survivor fine just the other day?

    I crashed twice when I was playing Nemesis.... Then I switched back to survivor.
