The Dead by Daylight error code 8012 occurs when the game has server issues. The code will pop up when the servers are down, but it can appear with a bad connection or another issue. The first step is to see if the Dead by Daylight servers are currently down.

To check the status of the servers, you can go to the Dead by Daylight Down Detector website, which will display any current server issues. Often, servers are overloaded by new events, DLC, and updates. Another way to check if the servers are having issues is to check the official social media for Dead by Daylight.

The Dead by Daylight Twitter account often updates players with server status and will post when the issue is being worked on or has been fixed. If you have checked the server status and it appears to be up, it may be your connection. Disconnect your router for 30 seconds and restart your console or PC. This may fix the issue, but if the problem persists, it is most likely due to overloading servers.

Behaviour Interactive releases DLC for Dead by Daylight pretty frequently and also has implemented many events into the game. The latest is a holiday event titled "Bone Chill," which features winter-themed cosmetics and in-game decorations.
