PC Steam - Game Not Launching
I try to launch the game on Steam.
The easy anti-cheat loading screen shows up and fully loads but stays open for a few minutes.
The easy anti-cheat screen disappears and Steam says the game is still running for a few minutes before the "Stop" button turns into a "Play" button which means the game is no longer registered as running. Dead By Daylight still continues to run some background process that stays open until I forcibly end the process.
I have attempted verifying the game files via Steam's properties menu. I have set the game launcher to run as administrator. I have tried disabling fullscreen optimization as I read somewhere that sometimes causes problems. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game. I have tried disabling my computer's anti-virus software. I have tried reinstalling the Easy Anti-cheat. Nothing seems to work. I refuse to accept "Reinstall Windows" as an acceptable option for fixing a game as I have been told that multiple times in the past for other software issues and that never fixes the problem. I have attached the logs for the game.
UPDATE: It seems to be a problem with Easy Anti-cheat getting tripped, but the problem is that it's so temperamental that literally anything can trip it, including lighting controls if you have any RGB keyboards, mice, fans or case. I'm getting pretty tired of EAC and how terrible it is. Would really appreciate it if you guys could switch to a more reliable anti-cheat measure but I guess I won't hold my breath. I'm tired of buying a game only to find out the only way I can potentially play would be if I reformat my drive and to a clean install of Windows. If anyone has any recommendations I would love to hear them. I've so far tried clearing out my registries of anything EAC-related that I could, uninstalling every game that uses EAC, reinstalling them, and tried running the games to no avail. I tried disabling all my lighting background processes, any and all screen overlays from Discord or Steam, and deleting the EAC folders before reinstalling the games, but nothing seems to work.
