Same issue, I'm on Windows version, getting error 8007 since the update.

Please, let us just connect to Steam like all the other platforms on PC has been allowed to do.

Epic, Steam and even the now gone Stadia was allowed, but we've been just ignored.

The Windows version still gets all of the issues that the other versions does (mostly, some are console exclusive), plus ALOT of extra issues with the Windows version ever since it came out, yet we've never received a Windows/game pass exclusive "sorry for the issues" bloodpoint reward or anything. If Steam had the same issues that the Windows version did, we'd all have received 50m+ bp by this point for those issues over the years. Not being able to start the game for days/weeks, having to reinstall the game every single patch, even minor ones for years etc etc.

Just let us connect to Steam, like all the other PC platforms have been allowed, so we can move away from the Windows version and be done with the issues. And please, for once, give us a reward for not being able to play the game at all this time, even though you've never done it before.

yup im in the same boat, gamepass for pc. after latest update cannot connect to servers after initialization is complete. stuck on the title menu. would love to really play my favorite game. also i am in agreement with everyone else. would love to transfer my profile and FTL cosmetics to steam. hell im willing to purchase this game twice just to have it on steam

What about everyone else still having this problem almost 3 days after the update? This is honestly embarrassing. If you guys are unable to keep WinStore version working as Steam or Epic does, just allow cross-progression on it already so we all can move to a platform that gets attention from the devs.

Well, it's clear that the Windows Store version comes with challenges that Steam and Epic doesn't have to deal with, so part of the blame for all of these issues for years is absolutely on Microsofts side, no doubt.

However, BHVR is the devs, ultimately it's their game and their responsibility. If something messes up on Microsofts side, it's BHVRs responsibility to sort those issues out as fast as possible, even if it's not BHVR's "fault" that they happened.

It's like if you rent an apartment, but then you let your younger sibling stay there over the weekend while you're out of town, and they throw a party. You're still responsible for any noise complaints, possible destruction etc that your younger sibling may have caused. It's still fair if you're kicked out because of it, because ultimately it's your responsibility.

The easiest and best solution, is to allow us to move over to Steam, then release a final patch for the Windows Store version telling people that they need to synch their accounts and move over to Steam within X amount of time (lets say a year), if they want to be able to keep playing the game, and keep their progress, DLCs etc.

Then they can just completely stop support for the Windows Store/Game Pass version, BHVR doesn't have to deal with the issues, and neither does us players have to deal with it anymore either.

If BHVR would just put a little bit of time and effort into moving us all over to Steam once and for all now, and give us 50m BP for the years of issues we've had to deal with without any compensation for those issues during those years, then BHVR doesn't have to deal with these issues ever again. BHVR will save time, money and effort, dealing with the complaints, fixing the issues, dealing with Microsoft etc, and the playerbase will save a lot of frustration, time to try to sort these issues on their side (which almost never is on the players side at the end of the day, the issue is almost always somewhere between Microsoft and BHVR), and we can just play the game like most other people.

I have brought up these issues in the past however, and kept pushing until I finally got the answer, at least back then, that absolutely zero thought or effort had been spent into letting the Windows Store/Game Pass users synch with Steam, like Epic and Stadia had at that point.

I think the issue is BHVR ran into problems synching progress between Switch and Steam, and then decided that they wouldn't do ANYTHING at all about synching progress between consoles and Steam, until that issue is fixed. It's been years though, and most likely they're never going to sort out whatever the issues were that they had with Switch. Sadly, that means that Xbox/PS players will never get cross-progression either, and we, who use Windows Store, gets bundled in with Xbox, even though we're on PC, and we'll never get cross progression either. It's dumb. BHVR needs to change their stance and sort this out once and for all, and then just stop supporting the Windows Store version completely, they clearly feel like it's not worth their effort to deal with anyhow.

This is not a good look for behavior. I have over 1500 combined hours in dbd, I've been playing off and on since launch. I regret buying my dlc and making my progress through game pass. Literally just give us the chance to transfer one time to steam, or put more love and care into your game. Two bad chapters in a row, and then just completely ignoring a whole part of your customers/fans for half a week now. I love dead by daylight, it is my favorite online game by far, and yet every day it gets harder and harder to support behavior. The only changes they make anymore are just number changes, everything that was fun or exciting is getting bled out, and when people do actually want to play they can't. There is so much potential in dbd, and it feels like they keep constantly and purposefully throwing that potential away. ---->Please, please, please, have more transparency and listen to the community<----- 90% of the flak y'all get would go away if y'all just do that. But yeah the biggest thing is LET US TRANSFER TO STEAM for the love of god, how are you gonna do it for switch and stadia but not windows.
