Dead by Daylight is a multiplayer game that pitches players against one another, players can choose between a killer & one of the four survivors. The game is an online PvP game. It also features a competitive gameplay & progression system. Thus, players have to queue up in the matchmaking system. Players can choose to play as a killer or survivor and then start the matchmaking to find players. Once every seat in the lobby is filled, then the main gameplay begins.
Matchmaking as Killer in Dead by Daylight: Stuck Issues & Fixes
Players who choose to play as a killer in the game have been facing slow matchmaking. Likewise, the matchmaking sometimes looks to be stuck. Well, this can be a result of many factors such as too few players on the server, bad connection, server maintenance, etc.
The main solution to the matchmaking being stuck or slow for players playing as killers is to be patient & wait for a match. Likewise, when players choose a killer role & queue up for a match, the game is filling up the lobby with survivors of the same tier. When players quit the game and restart their matchmaking, their queue also restarts from the beginning. Thus it is always best to wait for the game to find a match.
There is currently no official fix for the stuck matchmaking issue in Dead by Daylight. Read more info on the game here
