Verifying Dead by Daylight's Files
In a couple of cases, like when you delete the contents of the icons folder it's a good idea to verify your game files. By doing this, the game launcher will validate that all the files it's expecting exist & are intact, and if not, re-download them. This helps you err on the side of caution with any potential anti-cheat or game corruption issues.
As the game isn't exactly small, verifying the files might take a little while to complete.
