Dead by Daylight Error: 8.001 on PC

Since this is a known issue from Dead by Daylight, unfortunately, we will need to wait until they deploy a fix to solve this for once.

Hi Felipe,

thank you for the quick answer.

My internet connection is constant and stable.

All of these steps were performed several times. I have reinstalled the game very often (I even rebuilt windows)

My drivers and Windows Updates also up to date.

Support team from BHV (Dead by Daylight) has been trying to fix this error for a very long time.

They even sent me a patch file. Unfortunately I still get the Error Code 8.001.

At last I was only referred to the Microsoft Support Team. I also spoke with the Microsoft Support, who couldn't help me

Hello, I'm Felipe and I'm an independent Community Advisor, and I'll do my best to help you.

Error 8.001 in Dead by Daylight is a known issue that has been reported by many players. It is a connection error that occurs when the game is unable to establish a stable connection to the servers. This can happen due to various reasons, including network issues, server issues, or even problems with the game files.

Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try to fix the issue:

Check your internet connection: Make sure that your internet connection is stable and fast enough to support online gaming. You can run a speed test to check your internet speed and stability.

Verify game files: Sometimes game files can get corrupted or damaged, causing the game to malfunction. You can try verifying the game files in the Microsoft Store to make sure all the files are intact and not corrupted.

Disable antivirus and firewall: Sometimes antivirus software and firewalls can block the game from accessing the internet, causing connection issues. You can try disabling them temporarily and see if the issue is resolved.

Update drivers: Make sure that your graphics card drivers and other system drivers are up to date. Outdated drivers can cause performance issues and other problems.

Reinstall the game: If none of the above steps work, you can try reinstalling the game. This will delete all the game files and download fresh files from the Microsoft Store.

If the issue still persists after trying these steps, you can try contacting Dead by Daylight support again and provide them with more information about the issue, such as error logs and system information. They may be able to provide more specific troubleshooting steps or escalate the issue to their development team.
