    I was able to play for around 3-4 days again. And now as of writing this comment the problem is back. It’s so weird so many of us are from TX and have spectrum. It has to be BHVR or our ISP.

    Same issue for me since yesterday (ps4, initialization error even after restarting a dozen times) except I am not from Texas (Ukraine actually) and have a different ISP (not spectrum). The Hotspot trick worked for me too, but I'd rather not use up limited data like that...

    This is definitely not just ISP issues, something is up with BHVR's servers too!

    I'm in California with spectrum, haven't been able to log in for weeks.

    I tried reinstalling and resetting my router, no luck.

    I’m in west tn and have gotten this problem reoccurring for several days. Sometimes I can get in lobby and play a few games but then the server will crash, I’ll get sent back to the lobby screen, I click on a role and it won’t let me queue on either side. Ps5. This game is so cooked right now.

    This issue was happening for me in early January, then my game came back after the Bone Chill event was over. Now as of today, with Chaos Shuffle, I’m having issues with the game loading again. I think the issue might be event related. So frustrating!

    I played three games and around 7:50 pm it errored out again.

    Same issue.

    Its the only game I have a problem with, and it's every PS5 in my house. Not sure why this has been here since the beginning of the year and there's no fix or solution.

    maybe it’s all the smoke interference from the California fires

    it seems like it errors out around the same time everyday. I got on this morning and was able to play fine. Now it’s 730 central time and I’m getting the same error. Everything else internet related on my ps5 works fine EXCEPT dbd

  • tricks5776

    I wonder if this is related to the new central servers that are rumored to be added with the next mid chapter update.

    Exact same issue for me. The game won’t load and it gives me a different error message each time. This has been happening since early January. I am beyond frustrated.

    the issue is back for me as well. also from tx using spectrum. i also could not play the last of the bone chill and it randomly started working again and now a week later it is not working. Same save game error and instillation error messages keep popping up.

    yep it worked this morning for about 30 minutes and then around 10am, it disconnected and now errors are back. Now, playing on the cell hotspot so forgive me for a 500ms ping 😩

    BHVR PLEEEEEASEEEEEEE fix this. There are people who don’t have spectrum who have this issue, as stated in the replies. So freaking frustrating
