Game not launching?

[Biohazard♡]

After the new update the game doesn't launch at all... it shows the trapper logo and then it freezes, I have even tried running the prompt -dx11 but it didn't do anything. Anyone knows how to fix this problem?

in application log error:
The file cannot be accessed for one of the following reasons: either there is a problem with the network connection, the disk with the file, or the storage with the drivers installed on this computer, or the disk is missing. Dead by Daylight will close due to this error.

Program: Dead by Daylight
File:

The error code is given in the "Additional Information" section.
User action
1. Open the file again. The problem may be temporary and will correct itself when you restart the program.
2. If there is still no access to the file and at the same time:
- it is located on a network drive, the network administrator must check that the network is working properly and that there is access to the server;
- it is on a removable disk, such as a floppy disk or CD, make sure the disk is fully inserted into the computer.
3. Check and repair the file system using the CHKDSK command. To run the CHKDSK command, click Start, Run, type "CMD" and click OK. At the command prompt, type "CHKDSK /F" and press ENTER.
4. If the problem cannot be resolved, restore the file from the backup copy.
5. Check if other files on the same drive can be opened. If not, the disk may be damaged. If it is a hard drive, contact your system administrator or hardware manufacturer for assistance.

I had an issue where it would start up and would freeze right before the cinematic. Found out personally that if I'm in another tab when I boot it, it starts right up. Hope that helps someone. I usually just open YouTube or something until I hear the sounds before the cinematic.

Try repairing or reinstalling Easy Anti-Cheat. That first splash screen that pops up is actually EAC launching.

Right click Dead by Daylight > Properties > Browse Local Files > Easy Anti Cheat > Easy Anti Cheat Setup

If it says "repair," try uninstalling and reinstalling. If it says "install," then it means you didn't have EAC installed and that might be why the game is not launching (my EAC apparently got uninstalled after UE5 update).

I personally tried doing that and I had it installed and even when I repaired it, it still crashed on startup.
