The issue when players cannot save their game can happen during server outages from time to time. However, there are other reasons for this bug, and below you will find the possible solutions.
How to Potentially Fix the Dead By Daylight Save Game Error
Check Dead by Daylight’s Server Status
Behaviour Interactive, the developer of Dead by Daylight, is fully aware of the save game error that prevents players from saving their progress, as indicated by their recent post on the official Twitter page:
This means that players need to wait for the actual fix for the problem from the developer’s side, as it seems that the issue is connected with the game servers. So be sure to check the status of the Dead by Daylight servers here.
Until that official fix actually comes, though, here are some things you can try.
Verify Integrity of Your Game Files
If the servers are online and there are no issues with network connectivity, then it would be useful to verify your files on Steam:
Go to your Steam client Select “Library” tab Right-click on the Dead by Daylight game Select “Properties” from the list Go to “Local Files” tab Select “Verify Integrity of Game Files” feature
In case some of your save files are corrupted, this procedure can help fix those files and potentially get around the save game error.
Install or Repair Easy Anti-Cheat
Another source for corrupted save files can be EAC, an anti-cheat software that can be either installed or fixed on your PC if you follow these steps:
Go to Dead by Daylight folder on your PC Locate the “Easy AntiCheat” folder Right-click on the “EasyAntiCheat_Setup. exe” file Select “Run as Administrator” option If it’s not installed on your PC yet, then select “INSTALL” If it’s already installed, then select “REPAIR” Confirm by pressing “YES”
Reinstall Your Game
The last resort when running into the save game error is to uninstall and reinstall your game on Steam from scratch. But do this only if any of the above solutions haven’t worked thus far:
Start the Steam app Select “Library” tab Right-click on the Dead by Daylight game Go to “Manage” option Select “Uninstall” from the list
Once it is done, reboot your PC, start the Steam app, and install Dead by Daylight by pressing the Install button.
