Running into Dead by Daylight Error Code 8012 can be frustrating when you’re trying to enjoy a match as survivor or killer. (Picture: Behaviour Interactive)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
In Dead by Daylight, Error Code 8012 is a server-side error. <\/strong>In other words, the issue on the developers’ end and is not due to issues with your PC or your internet connection. Instead, it is a problem with Behaviour Interactive’s servers.<\/p>\n
There is nothing you can do to solve Error Code 8012 <\/strong>on your own since it happens to be a server-side problem. You will need to wait until Behaviour Interactive solves the problem with the servers and brings them back up if you want to play Dead by Daylight again.<\/p>\n
That said, you can determine whether other players are running into the same issue in the meantime. Sites like Downdetector<\/a> allow you to report the error, as well as see reports from other players who have shared their own plights.<\/p>\n

If you don’t want to manually check whether Dead by Daylight’s servers are back up, you can keep up with the official Dead by Daylight Twitter page<\/a> for updates. The Behaviour Interactive team typically makes a post whenever players start reporting that they are facing Error 8012, as well as when the issue is solved.<\/p>\n
Running into Error 8012 while playing Dead by Daylight can give you a headache, especially if you’ve tried restarting the game – and even your computer – and you’re still running into problems. Unfortunately, no troubleshooting on your end will be able to solve Error 8012 for you; you’ll need to wait for Behaviour to patch things up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
