DDOS attacks are not the primary cause of Dead by Daylight crashes, says a developer

Dead by Daylight players have been experiencing issues with the game following the release of Patch 6.6, which introduced new content and bug fixes. However, players have been reporting alleged DDOS attacks, primarily targeting big-name streamers in the community. In response, the Dead by Daylight official Twitter account has stated that they have found no evidence to suggest that any personal IP addresses have been leaked.

Investigation Findings

According to the Dead by Daylight official Twitter account, they have conducted a thorough investigation into the DDOS reports and found no evidence of personal IP addresses being leaked. Instead, they attribute these reports to a common crash that appeared in games after the release of Patch 6.6. The account reaffirms that player safety “remains an utmost concern,” and pledges to continue monitoring the situation.

Community Reaction

Many players in the Dead by Daylight community have expressed disappointment with the game’s recent issues. Some players feel that the DDOS attacks from the past week have been well documented by a variety of players, and the lack of acknowledgment from the developers is frustrating.

Possible Solutions

Players who have been frequently targeted by DDOS attacks have been using Virtual Private Networks to help mask their IP address or turning away from the game entirely. There is also evidence to suggest that the DDOS attacks are exclusively a Steam-related issue, meaning players using an Epic Games account are less prone to these supposed security leaks.

While Dead by Daylight developers have found no evidence to suggest that personal IP addresses have been leaked, the DDOS reports are still being investigated. Some players remain optimistic that the developers will continue their inquiry and identify the source of the crashes soon. In the meantime, players are encouraged to take measures to protect themselves while playing the game.
