I just played a match on my Steam Deck, and I'm stoked!
Of course I'd been struggling to get it working via Heroic so I could play it during my vacation. Now it works on Steam as soon as I'm back home. Oh well, hopefully it'll work the next time I'm away from home. XD
EDIT: Just saw BHVR's tweet that DBD is Steam Deck verified! Whoo!
glad you finally got to enjoy it! better late than never!

@Mandy said:
It is now official. We had to wait for verification processes to be confirmed, it's not as straight forward as might initially appear.
Finally this has become a reality, believe me we're all happy about this and that we're finally have DbD on Steam Deck.
Thank you so much Mandy for all your help, patience and communication! So stoked to have the game verified! Woo hoo!
We're finally here!
-
there's a perk for that.
-
Map offerings should BAN maps, not increase their chances.
No one should have the power to drag all the other players to one person's preferred map. Not to mention it's weighted 4 survs vs one killer.
-
Yes please.
Also, a toggle would be nice to just tell it to keep spending BP until I tell it to stop, instead of making me click again every new web.
These recent changes were wondeful! Let's keep at it!

Signed in on here again to say thank you, I was finally able to play this game on my Steam Deck last night. I've been waiting patiently hoping the game would work eventually. Would it be safe to assume that this game has full support now for Steam Deck?
No, I wouldn't assume that until they publicly announce it. Be prepared for them to turn it off at any time based on their whim. XD
still seems to be working for me as of 6.7.1

@omano said:
It's not about doing things to make me happy, it is about confirming what is going on... but write whatever makes you happy I guess...
We'll see ;)
it is, though.
@CrypticGirl just wants to play DbD. she's having a tough time getting Heroic working. well, for right now at least, she could be playing on Steam. who knows what tomorrow will bring. maybe BHVR blocks it again.
but right now, she could play. that was the point. for whatever else you want, go check yourself then.
-
you do whatever makes you happy. the point is, the game is playable for ppl who want to play it.
-
they're trying to bribe you. punish them harder.
but yeah, it's a moment of connection. despite the defensiveness of some ppl in this thread, it's definitely a sign of submission. it's an offering and a request for mercy.
Killers are capricious, however. you choose how you want to respond.
-
me? myself and others have been playing a ton the past few days with no issues.
look at me. i'm the log now.

Sadly, it still doesn't work. But here's a question: Where exactly do you launch the game from? I've tried researching elsewhere on my own, and saw suggestions that you don't launch the game from the Heroic Games Launch, that you're supposed to add Heroic to Steam as a non-Steam game and then launch Heroic from Gaming Mode. (This doesn't work for me either, as I just get an infinite loading screen when I try to launch Heroic from Steam Deck gaming mode.)
And here's something interesting. Just for giggles I tried launching DBD in my Steam, and I can actually get into the menus and play a tutorial match, but I can't get into a public match. I just get immediately DC'd after the offerings are shown. I don't suppose there's a way around that, is there? I've tried forcing the compatibilty layer and selecting Proton-GE-Proton7-55, but to no avail.
just FYI, DbD has been working the past few days on Steam just fine. how long it will last I don't know, but figured I should let you know just in case.
-
A DC should count as a kill. Simple as. Ppl should not be able to ruin your work by DCing.
-
that's great! hoping it stays up with the announce for the anniversary.
i have about 20 chieves i need to catch up on now. XD

Thank you for the info! Gonna wait for their next move, I won't download the game and then realize that is getting blocked again.
understandable. i played a TON this weekend. XD i'm at work but if anyone can chime in, let us know if it's still working today.

@burzeus said:
Dead by daylight seems to be working with steam deck/linux on steam since the past 1-2 days using proton experimental or proton hotfix, hopefully this time theyll keep it going. Finally some good news.
i can confirm that it is currently working correctly for me on Steam.
-
... fine. i give in. XD
the mid-chapter patch changes are too tempting for me to resist. XD
i STILL want it to work in Steam properly though! all my chieves are there!
but this will have to do for now. thanks for all the work you all and the community have put into this workaround.
-
sadly, the same is true for me, firepotato. I loved this game. But 1.5 years of dragging their feet is, frankly, insane.
I've lost all interest, when VHS had support on day 1.
What a waste and what a pointless shame.

I'm sorry but I do not have any updates at this stage.
It's been almost a year and half since this feature was possible, Mandy. A year and a half with no substantial communication. Steam Deck is a rousing success. Silence. STADIA is dead. Silence. Game worked for one day just fine. Silence.
Mind boggling.

@Wildikdog said:
Merge is up now, at least it was for me anyway, did check Steam after merging just in case but I still got disconnected from a custom game. EGS seems fine and I played a Killer match just fine.
Hi @Mandy,
Can you speak to this at all? Can the devs provide us with any kind of status update? Since ppl can play with the Proton EAC successfully using the Epic Game Store, but on Steam proper it is still not working. So why can't we play on Steam?

the game WORKS ABSOLUTELLY PERFECTLY EVEN MULTIPLAYER
i've been playing for the past several days!!!

ok, so, i've decided i'm actually not going to update the main post with workarounds for EGS. i'm glad it's working for you and thank you for letting the community know.
but what i'm looking for, and what this post was originally about, was getting proper Proton/Linux/Steam Deck support for EAC for DbD. there's no reason DbD shouldn't just be 'install and play' on Steam on Linux.
that's what i'm looking for and that's what i'm waiting for.

@coffeestuff said:
I'm sorry, I stand corrected.
Whether or not I get into the main menu is random.
I was kicked out of an online game.
Anyway, I'm here to help and here to test with you all. Also, I wouldn't take "developer silence" as a bad thing. I was testing Darktide recently, their official statement is/was that they don't support linux. In the time leading up to Darktide, they made improvements in Vermintide II; however, V2 isn't quite there.
During beta, people figured out how to make it work in with proton --- including steam deck. It currently works now on launch, and it worked throughout beta in linux via proton, though it's not officially supported, and they've not made a statement. They've expressed interest, but the community is on their own.
I suspect that, given that DbD is a mature game, it's non-trivial to figure it out. We have no idea what code has been built up over years to fight cheating. That's why Vermintide II one can only host on linux. Mods, apologies if that's off topic, but I thought that was relevant.
Good to know, Coffee, and welcome!
I'm confident they will get to it eventually, I just wish it was sooner.
Hopefully by the time Steam Decks are available in Japan and Stadia is retired.
-
The main menu doesn't mean it's working. You have to play a full real match.
-
Uninstalled both.
Installed Proton EAC Runtime.
Installed DbD.
Got to menus.
Disconnected from match with error 500.
No change.
-
i'd certainly like more communication, but as long as it eventually works i'll deal. it seems like they've put in enough work at this point that they will see it through, imo. but i won't rest easy until it's actually here and working.
-
Updated OP.
-
there are so many positive reports on the protondb page after the false start that was Thanksgiving.
https://www.protondb.com/app/381210lots of people are just waiting to play. such a shame.
i had submitted a report of Working, but i just submitted a new report of Borked again. such a pity, since the game works fine if they'd just let it.
-
it's a bug and should be fixed.
-
aw, AbsoluteLength got banned. :( that's sad.
let's all try to remember that there are people on the other side of our screens here. the mods, the CM, the devs, each other.
while we're disappointed and frustrated, we just have to trust that they're doing their best to help us out.

O god I hope not.
They'll add a check to make sure it only works on Steam OS! 🤣😭
my hope is that the extra work will deter them from doing that. XD
-
Yeah, I want to stay optimistic and say it's right around the corner. The UI changes do tell me this will happen, at least for Steam Deck. I just hope they don't shut the rest of us out. As long as we can pass EAC, just let us play and spend money. XD

Only 1080p. I run so much other software at the same time, OBS, Audio Mixer etc.
Normally record too, so I'm surprised it hasn't melted tbh 🤣
haha nice! i'm trying to figure out what GPU i need to hold 120@4k. XD

hmmm, I never try win 10 and 11, but on win 8 dbd runs better than debian for me. under win8 i have stable 60fps, under linux i have some fps drops
debian is usually pretty outdated. not sure which version you're running tho.
i only get the initial shader compilation stutter. everything after that is smooth as butter and better than win 10 for me. i'm on EndeavourOS, an arch-based distro.

Windows 10 and 11. Linux version ran better than both for me. Noticeably smoother. But Linux in general has less overhead than Windows does.
for reference my system is a 2700x, 32gb ram, 2060. So low end ish. Not a gaming beast but decent enough. Solid 120 fps after unlocking.
what res are you playing at? just curious.

Game breaking! Shut it down! Scrap it all! DELETE IT! not working! not worth the time! Don't say a word and forget it all! 😅🤣
Literally unplayable. XD

oh, and just so it's said, it ran way better than it does on Windows. XD
I only came across one issue, which was this graphical error in the header of the anniversary items:

It does seem like they're reacting to our discoveries.
Time will tell if that ends up working out in favor or not.

Just to let you know that I did end up opening a PR for that project with Linux support. Shame that we can't enjoy that again since they borked it again 🙃
Hopefully one day, I believe it will come.

Yeah, my friends are giving me crap too. XD
My hope is that, given the custom Steam Deck buttons, that BHVR will come through eventually.

yeah, i bought the Forged in Fog DLC yesterday also. got a little ahead of myself in excitement. XD but that does show that we will keep spending money. just support us so we can play. :D

We don't support Steam Deck yet, but we'd like to! We have no ETA currently. Please keep an eye on official channels for announcements on progress when SteamDeck support is available!
thanks for the reply! we're all eagerly looking forward to it. as has been evidenced, the game runs great on Linux under Proton. we're just waiting for EAC to get out of the way! XD Thanksgiving was a great day since the game was working!
here's hoping for the game to be Steam Deck verified very soon!

Yeah, I only really used it as a meme perk because of the audio change. Without that I won't use it again.
