Steps to Reproduce

  1. Launch Dead by Daylight on PC through Xbox Game Pass / Microsoft Store.
  2. Go to the lobby.
  3. Select Survivor and press Ready.
  4. Wait for matchmaking to start.
  5. The error appears every time: "Connection with host could not be established. Please try again."
  6. This happens whether I queue solo or with a team.

Explanation

Every time I press Ready, whether I’m playing solo or with a team, I get this error:

"Connection with host could not be established. Please try again."

I’ve already tried reinstalling the game, waiting and trying again another day, changing my internet connection, changing DNS, and even using a different device, but nothing fixed it. I still can’t join or play any match.

Other games work without any connection issues, so this problem only happens with DBD.

Platform: PC
Game version: Xbox Game Pass / Microsoft Store
Region: Middle East

Is there anything else I can do to fix this?
