Ancient Dead by Daylight

Buy or renew a key

Ancient Dead by Daylight runs on the shared Ancient loader, so the setup is the same as every other Ancient product.

Setup

Dead by Daylight specifics

Menu key: Insert, once you are in game. Insert closes it again.

Display mode: any. Ancient draws through the NVIDIA app or SteelSeries GG, and both handle exclusive fullscreen, so you do not need borderless the way the Exodus products do.

Inject before the game, not during a match. The loader closes itself once it has injected, and only then do you start Dead by Daylight. Starting the game first and injecting into a running match is the one order that does not work.

Check the status page after a game update. A build that stopped injecting after a patch is almost always waiting on an update rather than anything on your machine. The status page shows when it is back.

Not to be confused with

CheatPlus sells two Dead by Daylight products. Exodus Dead by Daylight runs on the Exodus loader, which draws through Medal or Discord instead and is stricter about your BIOS.

Troubleshooting

Nearly every Ancient problem is one of three things: the overlay is not running, protection is still on, or the BIOS is not set up. Check those before anything else.
