Just avoid tagging the developers continuously, Mandy is also not currently in office, she will be back in a couple of days.
Noted. I certainly try. I apologize if I got a over-excited and tagged too much. I certainly don't want to flood her. Just trying to keep lines of communication open.
-
@Rizzo Please don't edit my post like that. I don't appreciate it. If there's something you'd like to request, just ask. I've been communicating with Mandy for over a year as this issue has been being worked on.
-
Updated OP again. Back to Disconnected from Host: Error 500
-
I'm also getting disconnected today. Why would it work perfectly yesterday, on Steam with no tweaking, and today we're back to getting disconnected?
Please help us understand. We're basically there. Yesterday was pretty much flawless.
-
That would be awesome!
Thanks for the info, I'll see what I can do to get it running under wine.

Just so you’re aware, this works just fine through Wine.
I just ran the installer with wine in the wine prefix where DbD is installed, then ran the exe in AppData/Local/Programs with wine again and installed a pack.
Booted up the game and the custom portraits are there.
If the project can manage wine installations by itself with a Linux binary at some point it would definitely be a UX improvement, but you can definitely use this right now without issues
Oh wow really? Last time I tried it kept crashing. Good to know, thanks!
-
If we have any talented developers in here, it would be great to get the DbD Icon Toolbox also working on Linux. You can find the github here: https://github.com/nrcrast/DbdPerkTool/issues/57
-
I can confirm that DbD is working for me on Steam native on Arch Linux desktop. No tweaking needed. Install and play. Game is running great.
Thank you to the devs, to Mandy, and to all of you for your dedication and can-do spirit.
We have arrived. Get in that bloodrush!
-
It's a Thanksgiving miracle! XD
I'm out of the house for a bit but I'll be sure to test and update the first post first chance I get!
Thank you so much to the devs and @Mandy for sticking with it and putting up with us through this journey.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!

I found him on Steam and sent an invite to ask questions. Sadly, I'm going on a sudden travel due to personal emergency and won't be back till Sunday. I hope a solution can be found by then. I really feel like my ability to deal with life's woes would improve if I could run around fixing gens.
ask him to post here with more details.

Someone claims it runs on Steam. I tried with Proton experimental, but it didn't work. I'm not on Arch and don't know how to get -TKG, but maybe someone is more tech savy than me and can try. I only added EAC folder to binaries, didn't do any other tinkering, maybe I'm missing something.
This isn't a great report, sadly. Not enough info. What precisely did he do? Did he successfully play a full online match? It's very vague.
Sadly nothing I've tried so far has resulted in success. I feel like we should be right there. We're on the cusp.

The steam version fails here: https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/blob/cdaec5b33ea5d332e51eee4e4866495c90442122/Engine/Source/Runtime/Engine/Private/LevelTick.cpp#L438
I suspect auth fails on the server side and it force closes the connection.
Not really sure how to debug it further without decrypted game logs, though. If a dev sees this, it's probably the best to debug what's wrong on Steam's or Proton's end and report it, so other games won't suffer from the same issue, and no workarounds are needed.
Or you decrypt my gamelogs, and I'll retry. :3
link is 404.
-
OP updated.
-
i'll update the first post later this morning with this new development.
-
that's all fine. for me, it's just proof of concept. it practically doesn't help me since i'm not going to make an Epic account and not have all the stuff i accrued for 2k hrs.
i just don't want the devs, or anyone, to see "it works," and then shut their brain down and move on.
we're not at the finish line yet.
but it's clear the ONLY barrier here is EAC, and that only on Steam for some config reason, since it's the Steam Proton EAC that is even allowing the EGS version to pass and successfully connect.
-
let's just be careful with our verbiage so that we don't give wrong impressions or soundbites are taken out of context.
there's currently a workaround that shows DbD can work just fine on Linux for those who use the Epic Game Store version.
for native Steam and simple "install and play," we're still looking for EAC configuration issues to be resolved on BHVR side.
but it's clear, with video evidence, the game works fine once EAC issues are resolved.
so we hope BHVR will take the small amount of time needed to resolve this simple yet show-stopping issue.
-
@StrainedSky said:
Well its working : Dead by Daylight | Steam Deck Showcase | Linux - YouTube
Let's not say "it's working." We have a workaround. But this won't work for most users who just want an install and play experience through steam.
Still great to see and proof it CAN and WILL work, if they just fix their EAC configuration, which should not take long at all.

@AbsoluteLength said:
Just in case people don't realize, you can play the game with ZERO issues on Heroic via the method others and I mentioned.
As in full game, Multiplayer matches.
I've been playing for 6 ish hours and had no issues at all. A basement was lit incorrectly on one map, which happens on windows.
I see zero reasons why Steam shouldn't be playable now, it's using the steam EAC runtime lol.
An update from someone official would go down a treat.
that's great to hear, and an excellent proof of concept.
@Mandy it would be great to have this information brought to the devs and to get some real feedback on this, since it seems it's working except that EAC is somehow misconfigured.
we're not looking to cheat, and no one is bypassing EAC. we're trying to help get the anti-cheat running so we can just play the game fairly and equally on our system.
thanks for all your time, effort and patience on this topic.
-
ok. it's more that they're playing actual live matches, is all. so a bit different.
i can get into the menus and do things that don't involve other real players, but i haven't tried a Custom Match just yet. don't have time to get a group to test with.
-
@Stephen304 said:
For me it's working out of the box in steam, seems a lot easier than in heroic. I just had to install "Proton EasyAntiCheat Runtime" from my steam library and it works out of the box.
it works as in you're playing full matches?
it kicks me once the match begins with Error: 500
-
what's your youtube? Mandy can show it to the devs as a proof of concept in the wild.
-
barring any issue of spaces or capitals, why would this work for Heroic and not just in Steam itself?
i've tried pointing to the Proton EAC directory. I've tried copying over the files from that directory directly into the DbD folder. but none of that works.
still, it's good to note that it can and is working for some people, which means that it can be done and with relative ease as long as EAC is configured correctly.
note this progress please, @Mandy , for the team.

@AbsoluteLength said:
Can confirm what Gustash and 20percent have said.
Just been playing a few games via Epic Games Client using the Heroic Launcher. Was able to join and play normally 🤯😍
Steps I used.
In the game directory copy the EasyAntiCheat folder to DeadByDaylight/Binaries/EGS/
Download Proton EasyAntiCheat Runtime on STEAM. Copy the "Proton EasyAntiCheat Runtime" folder to any directory and remove the spaces in the folder name
In Heroic Launcher go to DBD game settings.
Set Wine version to Proton-GE-Proton7-41 (not tested others).
make sure EasyAntiCheat Runtime is UNCHECKED.
Then added this Environment Variable
name: PROTON_EAC_RUNTIME value: PATH/TO/STEAM/PROTON_RUNTIME (the folder without spaces)
launch from Heroic Launcher and Enjoy.
Heroic Bash Launcher doesn't seem to want to find my Heroic install so feel like this is a clunky way of getting it working. but playing games as we speak. Of course all my progress and dlc is on steam and the cross platform merge is currently unavailable! 🤦♂️ but I'll take it as a win for now considering there is still ZERO communication from the people in charge
would you please post your exact environment variable? is it just:
PROTON_EAC_RUNTIME PATH/TO/STEAM/PROTON_RUNTIME
?
-
@Stephen304 said:
Pro tip: Don't forget to install "Proton EasyAntiCheat Runtime" from your steam library if it didn't install automatically. I was having the unable to instantiate eac error when I tried to play on my laptop until I did that, I guess it was already installed on my steam deck.
great, thanks!
yeah, i can get into the menu now. this is great, so i can collect rewards and spend BP. i'll try a KYF when i get the chance. anyone else tried KYF?
one step closer! this is already way better than Stadia.

I'm sorry but there is no further update from our end, it's still something we're planning on doing but we do not have a timeline that I can share at this stage.
I understand. Thank you, Mandy. Have a great weekend!
-
hi @Mandy, it's been awhile. has there been any movement on this feature? has the news about shutting down Stadia impacted this process at all?
Any update you can provide would be most appreciated. Thank you.

GUYS GUYS DEAD BY DAYLIGHT WORK ON STEAMOS STEAM DECK
while i appreciate your fervor, let's not jump the gun until you can play through one match successfully on Linux. :)
-
@Rokolell said:
Guys, you need to calm down. As I said before, the DbD devs actually enabled the game for the Deck it just doesn't work because of a bug in Easyanticheat, which needs to be fixed by Epic. As soon as that's fixed, you can play the game, but you need to still be a bit patient.
What's the bug? I'm happy to go bother someone else. XD

I don't like VHS :(
Sorry to hear that, but it's basically all we've got.
-
@Alphonse said:
i'm really sad..
me too, buddy. just go play VHS. those devs at least cared enough to allow you to play their game.
-
if that's true then that's very sad, given the popularity of both DbD and the Steam Deck. a million units sold, just launched in Japan. ppl who can't play won't spend money when they otherwise would have, when the update is reasonably simple to make. it should take them a weekend, a week at most, and i'm being very generous to their time.
-
In all seriousness, Stadia was the only platform with real cross-progression with Steam. Stadia was the only platform that runs on Linux. With Stadia going, so goes everything I put into DbD unless you kindly update EAC to work with Proton on Steam.
Please do so so I don't lose everything I've done.
-
Google Stadia is shutting down on 1/18/23.
At that point there will literally be no way to play DbD on Linux unless BHVR decides to support Steam Deck through Proton.
-
@MarcMil said:
Ok guys, I can't play DBD anymore. I've installed a VM with GPU passthrough for DBD, and since the latest update it says "Cannot run under Virtual Machine". Welp, too bad, it had worked for years.
Guess I'll have to wait until it's supported under Linux. Gotta play some different games for the next time. Too bad I already paid the 12 € for the new DLC and cannot even play it.
really sorry to hear that. yeah, enough is enough. they had plenty of time. VHS is right there.

@ptibedo said:
It's starting to annoy me, I bought the game a while ago and I still can't play! I don't know why they take so long to enable eac on Linux. They are clearly taking us for idiots! I have 1 hour on the game while I've only been on the menu.
honestly, at this point, ask for a refund and tell Valve why. maybe it will spur someone into action
-
Steam Deck is now purchasable in Japan.
DbD is pretty popular in Japan.
would be a shame if they couldn't...
play on Steam Deck.
;)
-
just popping in to let the Steam Deck / Linux squad know that VHS is now available to play in Early Access and can confirm it still works under Proton.
i hope DbD can catch up soon, but otherwise, see you in the Beyond!
-
The BLOB! I want to roll, roil, and generally ooze around the level, absorbing survivors.
-
ok, i've sadly had it with Stadia's horrible, juttery performance. i'm officially done with DbD until it works properly under Linux like any modern game should.
i won't be returning to the forums until the update is announced. i'm moving on.
take care, all.
-
just letting you all know that the VHS beta is ending today as they are preparing to enter Early Access. i expect it to be up and running within a couple of weeks, and it will work on Linux!
-
Love it! Here's hoping compatibility comes soon. If not, I'll see you in VHS! XD

@PapaMikey said:
got my steam deck today!
Grats! Enjoy! What are you planning on playing?

@PapaMikey said:
new survey from BHVR, lets post about the steam deck ! dbd.game/3I4qZ8i
done! everyone should follow suit!
-
@PapaMikey said:
did anyone test the ptb?
i have not. but i expect nothing since they haven't announced anything.
-
right? survs get insulted if a killer power dares to actually inconvenience them just sitting on gens and winning. XD like, ugh, you mean we actually have to play the game?! XD that's, like, the whole point!
or else you end up like Sadako, with a power that does nothing, is no threat and no one cares!

@Mozic said:
The Dab Era hasn't even begun yet and we're already calling for its end. For shame!
Dab by Daylight WILL come to pass. 😆
agreed! i love Dab Hard!
-
not everything needs to be explained by the game, nor can be. learn about the game if you want to get better. pay attention, ask questions on forums on how to counter/deal with a problem. watch videos. basically, learn to play the game.

We cleansed four hex totems and Ruin is still up.
Steve had the box and was being chased while we looked for totems.
Four cleansed hex totems later and I finally find it! But no...
Steve was downed and I was interrupted at 90% and had to restart the cleanse, and restart, and restart, and restart.
The box wasn't even on the map yet! Solve WHAT box!?
Cenobite stomps solo q.
that's on the survs. steve screwed up and no one backed him up to get him out of chase to do the box. you guys got outplayed. better luck next time.
-
it's important to just note that it's not "invincible." it's Endurance. this means it shouldn't bypass Trapper traps (thank goodness!)
otherwise, no, i think this is very healthy for the game. DH was gamebreaking and an outlier in design.

DO THE BOX FOR GOODNESS SAKE! XD
