Bug #914

Forced Disconnect During Matchmaking After New Update

Status:	Fixed
Priority:	High
Added by:	Anonymous on January 27, '26
Assigned to:	Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:	9.4.0
Actual Result:	Game gives a message "Disconnected from host" and promptly softlocks
Expected Result:	The offering screen appears
Severity:	Blocker
Reproducibility:	Frequently
Platform:	Steam
Additional Notes & Comments:	I'm running the game on Arch linux through Proton

Steps to Reproduce

1. Start the game
2. Select to play as survivor
3. queue in as solo survivor (haven't been able to try SWF)
4. ready up in a match
5. wait for the countdown to reach 0
6. game disconnects before the offering screen

Explanation

I have been playing the new update without problems, until three games after installing the update, I'm completely locked out of playing DBD.

Every time I try to join a match, the lobby works as expected, but somewhere during the loading of the offerings, I get forcefully disconnected, and the game softlocks.
This issue does not happen in custom matches.

I have talked to others in the pre game chat, and it seems I'm not the only one experiencing this.
