Errors in any game are annoying, especially in live-service titles like Dead by Daylight. Initialization error is one of these errors you will encounter when launching the game, and there could be many reasons for that. In this guide, I’ll be going over some possible fixes to help you solve the initialization error in Dead by Daylight.

How to fix the Initialization Error in Dead by Daylight

Verifying your game's file integrity

The first thing you should do to fix the error in Dead by Daylight is check your game’s file integrity. The process of doing that varies between Steam and Epic Games, but you can follow the general steps below to do that in both of them:

Fixing your internet connection

If that doesn’t help, try diagnosing your internet connection to make sure it is working. You should restart your router or modem and reconnect your PC to see if that solves the issue. You can take this a step further by restarting your PC, which will solve many other issues besides the internet connection.

Updating your GPU Driver

Lastly, you might have outdated graphic drivers, preventing the game from opening. If you have an AMD graphics card, you can head to their site and get the driver for your GPU, and the same for Nvidia Drivers. Once the graphic driver is updated, restart your computer, and the game should run again.
