Dead by Daylight Developer Rules DDOS Attacks Aren’t Causing Most Crashes

gamerant.com:

Patch 6.6 for Dead by Daylight brought players the Tools of Torment DLC, introducing a new Killer, two Survivors, and a reworked Shelter Woods map, among a number of bug fixes and visual updates. In response, fans met the new content with a lukewarm reaction, disappointed with the genlocking potential of the Killer and the rather lackluster perks that accompanied the DLC. Now, two patches later, Dead by Daylight players are continuing to find issues with the game.

Following a string of alleged DDOS attacks, primarily targeting big-name streamers in the community, the Dead by Daylight official Twitter account has stated that a thorough investigation into DDOS reports has uncovered “no evidence… to suggest any personal IP addresses have been leaked.” The team behind the popular asymmetric horror game instead attribute these reports to a common crash that appeared in games after Dead by Daylight's 6.6 update. The account reaffirms that player safety “remains an utmost concern,” and pledges to continue monitoring the situation.

This news has not been received well by some members of the Dead by Daylight community, with many players feeling that the DDOS attacks from the past week have been well documented by a variety of players.

Over the last few days, players who are frequently made the victim of the purported DDOS attacks have been forced to use a Virtual Private Network to help mask their IP address or turn 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.
