The DBD Error Code 130 is typically associated with a “Save Game Error” or a broader connectivity failure when the game tries to authenticate your account and load your progress from the server.
According to the official Dead by Daylight Support, the most common immediate cause for Error Code 130 is server overload.
Official Quick Fix (Server Overload)
If you see Error Code 130, Behaviour Interactive (the developers) officially recommend this first step:
Wait 15 to 30 minutes and try to launch Dead by Daylight again.
If the issue persists, wait for a longer period (up to 24 hours).
If the error continues beyond a reasonable waiting period, it’s usually due to a more complex issue with your connection, local files, or an issue on the server side related to your specific account data.
Troubleshooting Steps for Persistent Error 130
If the issue persists, try these community-recommended and general connectivity fixes:
1. Verify Game Files
Corrupted local game files can interfere with the connection to the save game server.
Steam: Go to your Library > Right-click Dead by Daylight > Properties > Installed Files > Verify integrity of game files.
Other Platforms: Use the respective launcher’s file verification/repair function.
2. Check and Reset Network Configuration
Connection issues can prevent the game from retrieving your save data.
Restart Router/Modem: Power cycle your internet equipment.
Flush DNS/Reset Network: Open Command Prompt as administrator and try running network commands (like
ipconfig /flushdnsandnetsh winsock reset) and then restart your PC.- Disable Firewall/Antivirus Temporarily: Security software can sometimes block the game’s connection to the authentication or save servers. Temporarily disable your firewall or antivirus to test if the game connects. If it works, add an exception for Dead by Daylight.

3. (Last Resort) Contact DBD Support
If Error Code 130 persists for more than 24 hours, the issue is likely tied to your specific account on the backend, which only the developers can fix.
Go to the official Dead by Daylight Support website.
Submit a support ticket and include the exact error code (130) and the “Save Game Error” message. Many users who encountered this after not playing for a long time found that only support could resolve the backend issue.
