Steps to Reproduce

  1. Launch dbd on PC through the XBOX app
  2. Start a public match either as killer or surv
  3. Play the match for several minutes
  4. The game starts freezing and then the Dead by Daylight Crash Reporter appears
  5. The crash reporter shows an EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION error
  6. If you open Dead by Daylight again, it will count as disconnection and a matchmaking penalty is applied
  7. It appears randomly during gameplay

Explanation

The game randomly crashes in the middle of a public match and closes to the desktop. The Dead by Daylight Crash Reporter appears and reports an EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION error. After restarting the game, the match is counted as a disconnection and a matchmaking penalty is applied, even though I did not intentionally leave the match and is more than just one time so penalty time is getting longer and longer
