Many players also get the Error Code 8014 – Game Security Violation Detected in Dead by Daylight while playing the game. This is quite frustrating because every time this happens, you can’t play the game. Error code 8014 occurs not only for PC users but also for Xbox and PlayStation 4 players.

In this IR Cache article, we tried to find a solution to get rid of this problem completely.

What causes error code 8014: Game Security Breach Detected

After reviewing many user requests, we have come to the conclusion that the following are the most important causes of this error.

Administrator permissions: The necessary administrative permissions for the game or the EasyAntiCheat service may not have been granted, so you get the message Game Security Violation Detected when you try to run the game. Therefore, we recommend that you grant administrative privileges to all affected applications and see if this solves the problem.

Outdated Windows: The Windows installation on your computer may be outdated and a newer version may be available. Therefore, we recommend that you check for available updates and, after applying the update, see if it solves the problem.

Antivirus problem: The antivirus software installed on your computer may be preventing the game from working due to a false flag, and that is why you may get this error when trying to run Fortnite or Apex Legends, or any other application.

Outdated game: In some cases, your game may not be up to date, so you get the error message “Game security violation detected”. To resolve this issue, we recommend that you check to see if updates are available for the game.

Firewall: A firewall installed on your computer can interfere with the operation of the game, as it prevents the exchange of game packets with the servers. We, therefore, recommend that you disable the firewall and then see if this solves the problem.

RGB software: RGB software installed on your computer may cause a security breach of the game, as Easy Anti-Cheat detects it as a violation of its rules.

Now that you’ve learned about almost all the major triggers, we can finally move on to finding solutions for this error.

4. Then click on “CHECK GAME FILES FOR INTEGRITY”.

С недавнего времени многие игроки начали встречать в Dead by Daylight код ошибки 8014, при которой игра отличается от онлайн-служб и не дает пользователю войти во многопользовательскую игру на выживание. Кроме того, когда такая ошибка появляется во время игры, игровой процесс замирает на одной картинке, после чего игра просто закрывается. Ну, а после очередного запуска ошибка с кодировкой 8014 высвечивается едва ли не все игровое поле.

Здесь следует учесть, что стандартные процедуры вроде перезагрузки компьютера не смогут как-либо изменить ситуацию. Для того, чтобы разобраться в проблеме, стоит выявить причину ошибки и оперативно ее исправить.

Содержание

1. Проблема соединения со службами
2. Ошибка с DirectX
3. Запуск DBD в режиме совместимости
4. Обновление драйверов
5. Вместо заключения

Проблема соединения со службами

Иногда, хоть и очень редко, ошибка появляется после слишком продолжительного ожидания подключения к матчу. В таком случае следует выполнить следующее:

1. Зайти в свой Steam-клиент, там открыть каталог Downloads и найти там Download Region.
2. После этого необходимо выбрать регион, на территории которого на данный момент играет самое большое количество пользователей. В большинстве случаев таким регионом является Европа. Такое действие позволяет решить проблемы, связанные с опозданием матча и поиском пользователей.

Если же пользователь использует для игры слабопосещаемый регион, то игра Dead by Daylight автоматически отметит, что в данном регионе нельзя создать матч.

Ошибка с DirectX

Dead by Daylight – далеко не старая игра, поэтому она требует от компьютера достаточно мощной видеокарты, которая смогла бы поддерживать программу DirectX 11. В противном случае с игрой у пользователя могут возникнуть порблемы. Для того, чтобы проверить параметры технологий и дополнительного ПО, можно использовать утилиту под названием GPU-Z. Поддержку и наличие DirextX необходимой версии можно проверить следующим образом:

1. Нажать Win+R или открыть командную строку в пуске.
2. Ввести фразу dxdiag.
3. В самой первой вкладке найти строчку версии DirextX.

Следует учесть, что системный компонент Дирекс Х является предустановленным, то есть он появляется на компьютере одновременно с операционной системой.

Запуск DBD в режиме совместимости

Еще одна возможная причина – это несовместимость между операционной системой и игрой. В таком случае поможет системный способ:

1. Открыть папку с игрой.
2. Найти там файл запуска DeadByDaylight.exe и вызвать его свойства через ПКМ.
3. Найти раздел совместимости.
4. Выбрать «Запуск в режиме совместимости».
5. Выбрать Windows 7.
6. Подтвердить действия нажатием на «Принять» и «Ок».

Эти действия помогают исправить множество ошибок, но не во всех случаях.

Обновление драйверов

Другие пользователи отмечали, что ошибка 8014 появлялась из-за того, что на ПК стояли устаревшие драйвера видеоадаптера. Найти драйвера в интернете просто, достаточно выполнить следующие действия:

1. Открыть Диспетчер устройств на ПК. Найти диспетчер можно в пуске.
2. Найти там строчку «Видеоадаптеры».
3. Выбрать название установленной в компьютер видеокарты.
4. Нажать на «Установить драйвер» в появившемся окне свойств.
5. Когда система задаст вопрос, нужно остановиться на автоматическом поиске.

Система далеко не всегда сможет найти те драйвера, которые нужны именно этой видеокарте, поэтому рекомендуется искать их на официальном сайте компании-разработчика.

Если описанные выше способы не помогли? Возможно вам поможет следующая статья: Нет соединения с онлайн службами Dead by Daylight

Вместо заключения

Вне зависимости от выбранного способа пользователю необходимо перезагрузить игру или даже компьютер. В некоторых случаях может помочь и отключение антивирусов. Если же никакой из способов не принес положительного результата, рекомендуется написать в техническую поддержку.

One of the most common causes of game error code issues is an outdated or a faulty graphics card driver. It’s essential that you have the latest correct driver at all times. There are two ways you can update your graphics driver:

OR

Option 2 – Automatically (Recommended)– This is the quickest and easiest option. It’s all done with just a couple of mouse clicks – easy even if you’re a computer newbie.  

Option 1 – Download and install the driver manually

The manufacturer of your graphics product keeps updating driver. To get the latest graphics driver, you need to go to the manufacturer website, find the drivers corresponding with your specific flavor of Windows version (for example, Windows 32 bit) and download the driver manually.

Once you’ve downloaded the correct drivers for your system, double-click on the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions to install the driver.

Option 2 – Automatically update your graphics drivers

If you don’t have the time, patience or computer skills to update the graphics driver manually, you can do it automatically with Driver Easy.

Driver Easy will automatically recognize your system and find the correct drivers for it. You don’t need to know exactly what system your computer is running, you don’t need to risk downloading and installing the wrong driver, and you don’t need to worry about making a mistake when installing.

You can update your drivers automatically with either the FREE or the Pro version of Driver Easy. But with the Pro version it takes just 2 clicks:

1) Download and install Driver Easy.

2) Run Driver Easy and click the Scan Now button. Driver Easy will then scan your computer and detect any problem drivers.

3) Click the Update button next to the graphics driver to automatically download the correct version of that driver, then you can manually install it (you can do this with the FREE version).

Or click Update All to automatically download and install the correct version of all the drivers that are missing or out of date on your system. (This requires the Pro version which comes with full support and a 30-day money back guarantee. You’ll be prompted to upgrade when you click Update All.)
