| Additional Notes & Comments: |
The game soft-locking at "Initializing Shaders" without the -dx11 command line option has been a problem with the live game since the move to Unreal Engine 5, but the crash WITH the -dx11 command line parameter is new to the 9.6.0 PTB.

Steps to Reproduce
- Launch Dead by Daylight [public-test] on Steam, with "-dx11" in the Launch Options.
- Game will reach splash screen, then crash with a DX11 error.
- Go to Dead by Daylight's Steam Properties, remove -dx11 from Launch Options.
- Launch Dead by Daylight [public-test] on Steam.
- Game goes to loading screen, but will not proceed past "Initializing Shaders" no matter how long you wait.
Explanation
Game crashes at launch with DX11 error, when using -dx11 command line parameter, soft-locks at "Initializing Shaders" when not using -dx11 command line parameter.
