Steps to Reproduce

  1. Launch Dead by Daylight.
  2. Enter a public match.
  3. Play normally for a while.
  4. The game suddenly crashes during the match.
  5. Restart the game and receive a disconnect penalty.

Explanation

The issue started after the 10.1.0 update. It has occurred multiple times and has resulted in increasingly severe disconnect penalties. The penalty has now increased to 6 hours, even though I did not manually leave these matches. I have already verified the integrity of the game files, and I also disabled the NVIDIA overlay, but the crash still occurred. These crashes are effectively preventing me from playing the game normally.
