initialization error PS4/5

This issue is happening to my wife's and i DbD on our PS5s. I've searched online about initialization error and all the recommended fixes are not working. I have a PS5. And I have a game installed. The PS5 has a LAN cable to my router. (I checked all my other online games and they connect with no issues). I've Been playing Dead by Daylight with no connection issues since 2016. 6 days ago, I got an "failed to initialize" error message from the game. I went online at searched the fixes. None worked. Reset everything, cleared caches, reinstalled game, etc. I even made a new profile on my PS5 to see if i can get on DbD, but it gave me the same error. I also got my PS4 out and installed DbD on it. I tried to load in but gave the same error. An hour ago, I decided to use the hotspot on my phone and have my PS5 connect to it. Then I was able to get complete access to Dead by Daylight game. Played a few rounds online. Then I got curious and connected my phone to the wifi and Dead by Daylight is still connected! It makes no sense to me. Does anyone have an idea what is happening?

    Friend, don't worry, this happened to me and a lot of other people, from the information that I collected, it mostly happens on playstation and I'm pretty sure bhvr will fix it very soon, they just need some time (i imagine)
