How to Fix Dead by Daylight Version Mismatch Error

The Version Mismatch error is one of the oldest issues that plague Dead by Daylight whenever there is any new update. Dead by Daylight is available on multiple platforms, and it supports the Cross-play feature.

So, when we get an update rolled out for the game, we have two possibilities that give rise to Version Mismatch error: either the update is not available on all platforms at the same time. Or, not every player has updated the game to the latest version.

The latter one is the main cause of Version Mismatch error, while sometimes the error arises from the developers’ side. On June 7, 2022, when Dead by Daylight – Roots of Dredge update got released, players on the PlayStation platform soon began experiencing Initialization and Version Mismatch errors. The problem was from Behaviour Interactive’s side, and thankfully, at the time of writing this article, it got fixed. 

The devs had to disable the Cross-play feature for some time. However, it is now active, and all the errors plaguing Dead by Daylight’s new update are gone.
