Dead by Daylight is home to all sorts of monstrosities, including persistent networking problems. Receiving DbD Error Code 8018 is perhaps even more terrifying than coming face-to-face with any one of the game’s iconic cast of killers. Behaviour Interactive’s asymmetrical multiplayer horror game can throw up this error message for a number of reasons.

Here are some Dead by Daylight Error Code 8018 workarounds to help fix the problem:

  • Close the game application completely, then reboot the PC or game console.
  • On PC, run Steam as an administrator and launch Dead by Daylight from the “Library” tab.
  • Check @DeadByBHVR for any know server issues and/or service outages.
  • Check that there are no ongoing PSN or Xbox Live service issues.
  • No widespread problems? Reboot the internet router or modem.
  • Try connecting via a different Wi-Fi or data network.

Should the issue persist after exhausting the above steps, annoying as it may be, it’s best to heed the advice of the in-game notification. Wait a while and then try again later to see if the issue has resolved itself.

If it doesn’t, then consider contacting the Dead by Daylight support team.
