Im playing right now, have you not updated your game to latest hotfix? because if you dont you cant be queue'ed with anyone.
Ah I see. it's a fresh install since I just fixed it because I wasn't able to login for a couple of weeks. OK I'll check if there's any update.
However, so far I played with a mixed of people and non person (to be polite, indicated by their username being the username of the character they're using, I guess) but only as a survivor. The killer then would only be The Doctor and he's not doing anything, just stand there. So I played as a killer and nobody joins in. It's been like this for a couple of days.

i have this issue when enter in a match
that means that file is not authentic, most likely being tampered with. if you did something to it, then don't do that. if you didn't do anything then validate the game on your platform (Steam, Xbox for PC, etc) it will erase whatever isn't a part of it and download what's necessary.

Hello,
I belive i have found a fix?? I was searching internet all over again and i saw someone say if you install a game called guild wars 2 and open it, it randomly fixes eac bug. After a bit more searching i decide to give it a go and installed the game from steam it is free game so no pay. After that i opened the game and just closed it after 10 seconds then i opened the dbd and no eac bug. I didn't delete the game incase of bug will return. I played dbd just like before the update it was fun time. I hope this can work for everyone since it worked for me after countless of tries.
Hi. I just wanna give you credit that your fix worked for me. Thanks. I didn't installe Guild Wars, I installed Fortnight. We share similar condition that we don't have any other game with EAC already installed. Just wanna mention that I'm installing Dead by Daylight using Xbox for PC app (Windows Store) and installed Fortnight using Epic app.
I uninstalled Fortnight and Dead by Daylight still works, just thought you might wanna try that. However, backup the Guild Wars 2 first so if anything happened you can reinstall without downloading again.
Thank you guy, and see you in Dead by Daylight! I know it's not Castlevania's fault but I have grown to really really hate looking at that background image of Castlevania as EAC fails to launch.

The objection here might be your opening statement:
"I just want to confirm that I did this and it works, Dead by Daylight is now playable."
For you, it's playable. For many of us who heard about this "fix" over a week ago and for whom it did not work, the game is still unplayable. And we have tried fiddling with EAC (along with trying all of the other suggestions in this thread and across Reddit, the Discussion group on Steam, this forum, etc.) which have not worked.
And we're very frustrated that 2 weeks on BHVR has still not fixed this bug. And it's most certainly a bug.
In that light, I believe that statements like yours will only create false hope in those who read it. It did for me.
As have many of us, I have already tried multiple variations of restoring the EAC install from other games and from the install folder to no effect.
So to sum up.. for many of us, who have spent hours at this point trying to fix a problem that is clearly on the BHVR side..
..the game is in fact decidedly UNplayable.You spent hours? I spent weeks and reinstalled 9 times before I came across that "fix"…
And by fix I mean to install another game with EAC because I have no other game with EAC and that worked for me, and by "I" I mean me and by "me" I mean myself and I subjectively within a unique point in space-time continuum.
So forgive my excitement to share it immediately as I could here.

I did this and it works FOR ME!
Might also want to you follow the conversation because it is clear that I am referring to my shared unique condition with the other guy and his fairly new "fix" as follows:
- We have no other games using EAC.
- Dead by Daylight EAC not working.
- We installed another game using EAC. He installed Gears of War 2, I installed Fortnight, both games have EAC in it.
- Dead by Daylight works just fine now.
That shouldn't be taken as: This works generally outside of the context above. And even if you have identical condition and it didn't work, a simple "It didn't work for me" should suffice.

Hate to burst your bubble, but installing/updating/running another game that also uses EAC doesn't work (for me, at least.) 😥 That was one of the first things I tried, and I tried with multiple games. I've been completely unable to play DBD since the Castlevania update, meanwhile all other games that use EAC will run fine.
I'm very happy for you that you got your game working, though!! fingers crossed mine will eventually work too, LOL
Was just trying to help. Should goes without saying that I wrote based on what I experienced in reference to the comment of the guy saying he did the same thing and it worked.
However, it isn't clear for me what you meant by "one of the first things I tried". I don't think it is quite the same as what I tried?
To be clear, here is what I tried based on the suggestion by the other guy I mentioned so I was talking in reference to our unique condition:
- I have no other games using EAC.
- Dead by Daylight EAC not working.
- I installed another game using EAC.
- Dead by Daylight works just fine now.
In your case, you already have other games using EAC and Dead by Daylight still having similar issue. So it's different from our "bubble".
Also, care to explain what do you mean by "I tried with multiple games"?
Here is a few thigs you may try which I am sure you already tried and goes without saying is based on my bubble:
- Replace the EasyAntiCheat_EOS_Setup.exe file inside folder C:\XboxGames\Dead By Daylight\Content\EasyAntiCheat with the one from your other games using EAC? The folder should be located inside each game using EAC. That file seems to be the problem with Dead by Daylight. Try that if you haven't and if it still doesn't work then forgive my bubble.

Hi everyone,
I just want to confirm that I did this and it works, Dead by Daylight is now playable. I didn't install Guild Wars 2 on Steam since the game is 70 Gb in size but I was in a hurry to try so I just installed Fortnight on Epic, it's 45 Gb. If anyone wanna try this I recommend spending more time to search for smaller game.
The main thing to do this is to find another game that uses EAC so it will be installed when you install the game. You can refer to this page by SteamDB. Once the game is installed, play it and it will automatically install EAC. Leave everything the way it is. Close the game. Open Dead by Daylight. It should now work because now EAC is already installed. They only need one installation of EAC.
Issue Summary, if you wanna read it instead of playing for some reason.
Background issue:
- Dead by Daylight can't start because it is saying that Easy AntiCheat cannot initiate.
- It is impossible to know for sure whether EAC fails to initiate because it is installed but fails to initiate or that it is not installed. However, after I installed Fortnight I checked and found an Easy AntiCheat folder inside Fortnight folder.
- I believe EAC is game-dependent in away that it is bundled and installed along with a game that uses it BUT it will not install again if it's already found in the system. Similar to the way Visual C++ Redistributable is applied by games, I guess.
- Easy AntiCheat cannot initiate for Dead by Daylight because EasyAntiCheat_EOS_Setup.exe file located in Easy AntiCheat folder inside the game installation files can not initiate properly. When you click on it, something flashes like a DOS window or something but it is too fast to read anything on it then the window is closed. I believe it should instead initiate and install EAC if it's not found on the system and if it is found then it will proceed and start the game. I checked, the EAC folder in Dead by Daylight and it is different size from the one in Fortnight.
Solution that does not work:
- The quick repair for this is to INSTALL or REINSTALL EAC on your system, right? However, all tutorial for this refers to the game's EAC folder, which DOES NOT WORK for Dead by Daylight since the EasyAntiCheat_EOS_Setup.exe does not work so stop telling people to click on the file.
- The next thing to do is to download the EAC installer on your own, you know, like a normal person. This seems to be impossible since EAC does not seem to provide the installer for end-user to download. Why??? I have no idea. This is really annoying. So you can not download the installer.
Solution that works:
- The last thing to do is to get a game that uses EAC and install it. In the first guy's post he used Guild Wars 2 on Steam, for me I used Fortnight.
Please note that I have with me a .zip file of the folder EasyAntiCheat from Fortnight if anyone want to try replacing the one they have for Dead by Daylight and se if it works so you don't have to install an entire game just to have EAC. Anyone can do this and share so this could be a quicker solution for others. Careful though because anyone could just replace the .exe file with anything so if you don't know what you're doing then get the EAC from a trusted friend I believe we all have at least that one friend who plays Fortnight, right?
Note for BEHAVIOUR INTERACTIVE, no thanks to you and no need to respond to my days old complaint just check your Easy AntiCheat files FFS and get your s**** together.
On the side note, I have reasons to believe that this latest mess is a combination of BI (for not having their EAC dependent files through QC), Epic (for having such bizarre software and for having websites with no support or download page for your own software, kudoz to you, if no one can download your software, no one can exploit it, right on) and of course Microsoft with their Windows 11 recent policy to tighten security for certain files and folders. For example, notice that .exe files off your games installed by Microsoft Store or Xbox for PC app can no longer be interacted with by 3rd-party software. This is either the next mess or will blows over by the next update and on to the next mess.
Sometimes I am paranoid and think that perhaps they all do this on purpose and make it harder and harder to just want to play a game just so PC gamers give up and buy their consoles.
- Dead by Daylight can't start because it is saying that Easy AntiCheat cannot initiate.

Dude the game is 70 Gb lol. but yeah I thought the same too, what if I installed another game that is using EAC, wouldn't it be registered as installed?
So this may work after all. But I am using Fortnight, at least it's only 45 Gb.

I am having the same issue and been trying to communicate this to dev and Microsoft. I have tried EVERY SINGLE THING, nothing works whiel some party acts like it's not a big deal. People paid for something that literally does not work while the rest who already bought it suddenly can play it either.
This is a deal breaker for me so no, I don't care how good or terrible your game is, your response rate is terrible.
The problem is with EAC. If anyone wondering why it takes this long to fix it because they can just roll back the EAC to the previous version, I think they can't do that because the problem involved stricter permissions on Windows. I am running Windows 11 23H2.
