Well, it’s needless to say that still players are facing the same infinite loading screen issue. So, it’s quite frustrating for the affected Dead by Daylight players right now.

You might’ve fixed the connection to the store issue, but the infinite loading screen is still there! And I was going to buy some DLCs but I don’t think I’ll be spending my money on this garbage game. Every new patch makes the game unplayable 🤬
