Step 1: Log into dead by daylight

Step 2: Search for game

Step 3: Find game

Step 4: Get booted back to menu "Dedicated server not responding"

I have tried to play without and with a VPN and it occurs both times on both killer & survivor, considering how this game is haemorrhaging killer mains it needs to be fixed fast.

    I have a friend who keeps getting this issue, and when we went to check the game files, there was no DeadByDaylight.log file.

    The pinned post in the Bug Reporting forums explains how to get a copy of the log.

    I am aware.

    My reply was asking what to do if there is not a Log File, we followed the steps correctly and the DeadByDaylight.log File just does not exist at all on his computer.

    We tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game and the DeadByDaylight.log File still wasnt there for them.

    We even checked out areas in the files to see if we had gotten it wrong and even then we still found nothing, the file just doesnt exist for them.

    My friend does not have a Forums account, and they said that they do wish to create a Forum account, so it's really hard to communicate this issue my friend is having to get it resolved.

    They are having the "Dedicated Server Not Responding" issue like many other players, and they are physically unable to play the game and have been unable to play for over 3 months now and missed the Halloween Event as a result; I would send over a copy of his Log File but I physically cannot since it literally doesnt even exist for them.

    A forum account is not required to communicate issues; they can communicate directly with Support if they do not wish to post here to the forums. https://support.deadbydaylight.com
