Regardless if you’re a Killer or a Survivor, if you’re seeing Dead by Daylight down reports this August 11, it’s not you, but rather, it’s the game’s servers. It seems Dead by Daylight is having issues on all platforms, and there is no maintenance announced.

Multiple reports from players on all platforms have said that they are seeing a “initialization error” message appear in-game, with the message “The game has not initialised properly and may not save your game, try restarting” showing up.
Downdetector has seen a massive spike of reports of the game being down as well. Unfortunately, the official Behaviour Interactive and Dead by Daylight accounts have not acknowledged the outage just yet, though we’re expecting that to change soon.
Same as always, we’ll be providing updates on the game’s server status, so refresh the post from time to time. In case you didn’t know, Albert Wesker’s the new upcoming Killer headed to the game! Check out the details of that right here.
