Hope you all are having a good day.

I wanted to play some DBD again, and I can´t start the game without the error appearing on my screen. I´m on PC, and I followed every guide there is to somehow fix this error, but nothing is working. I hope it will be patched soon because I want to play Dracula so bad. If anyone knows some updates do tell

    Could be the Anticheat Software, it needs to load before DbD wants to start. Does it load before dbd fails to start? This screen:

    If this does not appear, your install of the anti cheat could be bad for some reason, and you need to remove it and reinstall it.
    On their website they say:

    "You can also install the service manually.
    To do so navigate to the "EasyAntiCheat" folder inside of the game's installation folder and locate "EasyAntiCheat_Setup.exe".Launch it as administrator and choose 'Install'."

    Should be easy to do. Give it a try if think the AntiCheat software is to blame.

    DeadByDaylight-Win64-Shipping.exe!UnknownFunction could mean DbD is performing actions which your computer does not know how to handle. Which means you need to make sure your system is updated fully, please make sure you have reinstalled.
