    My game is crashing while I am playing as "the pig" but it only happens after an action, like when I hook someone or when I break a pallet, game crashed like 4 out of 6 times already, issue started happening yesterday.

    I've been experiencing the same issue starting today and I've never had any crash issues that reoccurred as frequently as this in the past.

    It most commonly has been happening a brief moment after I would hook someone.

    This is happening to me too, and I'm on Switch! I can't get my Ghostface tome challenges done :'( I ended up with a 10min dc penalty before I just gave up and am only playing survivor now. This is frustrating.

    After the recent update it crashes after booting up during the main menu while Steam still thinks it's running and can't close it

    So I have to end Steams task, thne relaunching it gives the CreateFile failed with 32. error. But after a while Steam is able to close it. Then it boots as normal.

    It never crashed to desktop for me before.

    I've had exactly this on PS5 today. Glad (well not glad but you know what I mean) I'm not the only one

    I suspect this crashing is due to the bloody good challenge, on page 2 on the current tome. hard to test bc of the matchmaking ban though.

    This happens on PC to but with survivors can only play about 5 minutes then I get disconnected and I get a DC penalty on 720p with a i7-4790k and GTX 1070 | Windows 10 | Steam version | Steam launcher option: -high -novsync -notexturestreaming -USEALLAVAILABLECORES -dx12 (Edit:) Removing -dx12 made the game not crash I was also using driver 526.86 and reverted to 515.15. (Edit: 2) It crashed again.

    It seems the latest windows 10 update is to blame (reinstalled DBD and the game froze at the main menu had to hard rest the PC, I tried GTA V the something happened)

    Solved: System restore, reseat ram, gpu and PC wires.

    Same issue on Xbox too.

    Also started happening to me. Crashed 4 games in a row playing as different killers. I did read in a different post that removing your tome challenges apparently fixes it but that was the whole reason I was playing, to unlock all the tiers.

    It's pretty ridiculous that I now can't do any killer tome challenges to complete the Rift.

    Happening on Switch as well. I'm up to a 6 hour DC penalty now, so the game is essentially bricked for me because of this

    Thank you. I confirm it's since I activated this challenge my game crash everytime when i play as killer on PS5.


    Also i changed the challenge and activate another page 2 and same problem + crash...

    I could play killer with 0 challenge... I don't know if the problem is only with challenges in page 1&2 ??


    NB : Sorry for my english
