The first thing to do is check and see if Dead by Daylight is doing server maintenance. This may be the most common reason for this error to appear. If the servers are down, just wait until they are up.

Players on PCs can try to turn off their firewall or anti-virus. A workaround is going in and making sure the firewall or anti-virus allows Dead by Daylight to operate and doesn't block it.

Steam users have reported that simply exiting the game, closing out Steam completely, and opening it back up has solved the issue. The fix isn't that easy for some Dead by Daylight players, however.

Another user indicated that right-clicking on the game's file, going to Properties, selecting Browse Local Files, and selecting Verify Integrity of Game prevented the "No Network Connection" error from popping up.

Always be sure to double-check the network connection as well. If the internet is having issues, then there is a large possibility that Dead by Daylight will be affected by those issues.

These are the most common reasons and their solutions for the "No Network Connection" error appearing when players load into Dead by Daylight. Give them a try and get back into the game.
