The Casting of Frank Stoneis the latest horror game in theDead By Daylightuniverse and has just been released. On the release date, however, the developers at Supermassive Games and Behaviour Interactive made a funny blunder.
Fans were in for a surprise when the game failed to download properly on Steam. The game was rendered unplayable as the download was empty and didn’t include the necessary game files to play it. It’s likely that the devs somehow forgot to upload the game to Steam. That’s a pretty embarrassing mistake, but it’s better than a broken game.
The Casting of Frank Stone Went Through a Little Launch Hiccup
The problem was first noticed by players who downloaded the game only to find out that it was missing the executable file. On the Reddit post about this topic, players shared their humor and lighthearted frustration. Some sarcastically suggested that the devs might’ve “run out of digital copies.”
Others joked that this was a new way to combat piracy—by not releasing the game at all. Despite this, the issue was fixed almost immediately as not too long after, refreshing the page and starting the download again was all players needed to do.
This incident did not affect the game’s reception though. Early reviews and player feedback have been generally positive. Fans are praising the game for its atmosphere and feel. The game does seem to be going through some usual launch performance issues as fans report crashes and stutters.

This isn’t the first time a game has launched with technical problems. But the specific reasons for this situation have made it particularly memorable. We’ve already seen multiple disappointing game releases this year. But this one definitely stands out for how strangely funny it is.
This situation goes to serve as a funny yet cautionary experience of how important it is to be thorough. Not just in game development, but everywhere in general. Double-checking if everything is in proper shape is never a bad thing.
