Random Game Crashes and Freezes in Dead by Daylight

Status:	Open
Priority:	Critical
Added by:	Anonymous on October 26, '26

Due date:
Reported for:	10.2.2
Actual Result:	The game crashing
Expected Result:	The game not crashing?
Severity:	Major
Reproducibility:	Frequently
Platform:	Steam
Additional Notes & Comments:	Not set

Steps to Reproduce

1. Play the game, more than 15 minutes

Explanation

Game crashes randomly, at some point the game freezes for 1-3 seconds and then crashes, with the crash report client not being able to recall the error from the stack.

I suspect a potential memory leak (RAM overflow). The game runs fine for the first few matches, but the memory usage seems to accumulate over time. Eventually, after a few games, the game freezes for 1-3 seconds and crashes cleanly without an error code, which heavily implies that the OS is killing the process due to a storage overflow (hence the missing callstack in the crash reporter).
