With every new patch for live service games, players often encounter a range of errors, and Dead by Daylight (DBD) is certainly no exception. The recent update introducing The Walking Dead content has brought its fair share of glitches, one of which is the frustrating Failed to Create Party error.
This issue primarily affects those attempting to join the Survivor queue. When you hit the “Survivor” button under the “Play” tab, you may find yourself stuck in an endless loading screen, ultimately greeted with that dreaded error message. It can be aggravating, especially when all you want to do is dive into the action with friends.
Understanding the ‘Failed to Create Party’ Error
Thankfully, the Failed to Create Party error is usually just a glitch rather than a systems failure. Many players report that quickly tapping the “Survivor” button multiple times can eventually allow them to load into a game successfully. In my experience, I needed about five or six attempts before it worked, so don’t lose hope if it takes a few tries.
However, this can lead to another issue: the Accept Invitation Failed error, especially after forcing your way through the party creation hurdle. If you encounter this, the affected player will need to restart their game and receive a new invite, which resolves the issue most of the time.
This problem isn’t rooted in your console or internet setup; rather, it’s typically linked to the servers hosted by Behaviour Interactive (BHVR). Major updates or a surge of players—like when a popular franchise makes its debut—can cause these server issues. If you try everything and still can’t join, it’s best to be patient and report the bug to BHVR through their community channels on platforms like Reddit.
Here are some common questions players have regarding this issue:
What steps can I take to fix the ‘Failed to Create Party’ error? Restarting the game and repeatedly clicking the Survivor button usually helps you bypass this error.
Is the ‘Accept Invitation Failed’ error directly related to me? No, this issue is often tied to BHVR’s servers and how they manage player traffic during busy periods.
Why does this issue occur after updates? Updates can strain servers, especially if many players are trying to jump into the game at the same time.
What should I do if none of these fixes work? Reach out to the BHVR community on platforms like Reddit to report the bug, allowing developers to address it promptly.
