"The game version is invalid" error

[ReKonRap]

Has anyone received this error as well? As soon as Dracula was released, I haven't been able to play. I have version 8.2.2 as well. Already uninstalled/reinstalled and verified files. Any known fixes?

I've a similar issue. I've been getting unbelievable lag upon starting up DBD through Steam ever since they added the Castlevania chapter. Just a few days ago, I started getting crash after crash. So I did the sensible thing and verified my files, but that only resulted in my Steam telling me that I had "Corrupt Update Files." I reinstalled the game and got the same problem.

I've spoken to other people who've had similar problems with the Steam version of the game and the common denominator is Steam itself. Everyone has said that other games run just fine, it's just DBD that will not work properly. I can attest to that, as all of my necessary hardware is up-to-date and I am able to smoothly run Baldur's Gate 3 through Steam.

The real kicker, though, is that Epic Games runs Dead by Daylight without any problem. I don't even get the lag I've been getting since they added Castlevania, yet I am still playing on the exact same PC. So, if you have access to DBD through Epic Games- I'd recommend linking your accounts and playing through there for now. That is the only solution I can offer, because I think this is something on the end of the Steam version of DBD.

I sent a lengthy report to DBD support and hopefully once the work week starts again, I'll be able to get some clarity on what's wrong.

I'll attempt to do so with the console version; thank you for the reassurance!
