DBD, like any live-service game, has had to endure its fair share of bugs. However, things have taken a turn for the worse following Behaviour Interactive’s latest update, as players have begun discovering a few issues—including a game-breaking generator bug. If you haven’t encountered it yet, this latest problem occurs whenever survivors pop a gen.

Unfortunately, that’s exactly what’s begun happening in some games, according to a few Reddit posts. Following Behaviour Interactive’s in mid-July, player complaints have appeared in droves.
