However, like any other online game, you may encounter issues while playing. One frustrating issue is when Dead by Daylight friend search is not working. In this blog post, we will discuss some steps you can take to fix this issue.

Before trying anything else, it's crucial to check your internet connection. A stable internet connection is essential for online gaming and any interruption can cause issues. You can troubleshoot your internet connection by resetting your router, checking cables, and testing your internet speed. If you're experiencing any issues with your internet connection, contacting your internet service provider (ISP) may be necessary.

If your internet connection is stable and the friend search issue persists, the next step is to restart the game or console/PC. Restarting the game or console/PC can resolve many gaming issues. To restart the game, close it completely and reopen it. To restart your console/PC, shut it down completely, wait for a few minutes, and turn it back on.

If restarting the game or console/PC didn't fix the issue, you can try verifying game files. Verifying game files checks for corrupted or missing game files and replaces them. To verify game files, follow these steps:

If verifying game files didn't resolve the issue, updating the game and checking privacy settings may help. Updating the game ensures that you have the latest version with all the bug fixes and patches. Checking privacy settings allows the game to access your friend list and matchmake with your friends. To update the game and check privacy settings, follow these steps:

If none of the above steps worked, reviewing platform-specific settings may help. For example, if you're playing on PlayStation, check your PlayStation Network (PSN) settings to ensure that you're online and have access to your friend list. If you're playing on Xbox, ensure that your Xbox Live account is up-to-date and that your privacy settings allow you to play online and access your friend list.

If you've tried all the above steps and the issue still persists, contacting support may be necessary. The Dead by Daylight support team can help you resolve any issues you're experiencing with the game.
