Will there ever be a Linux port release?
I am a Linux/BSD user and have a separate partition with Windows installed specifically to play Dead By Daylight, this is not optimal and I do not like having to restart my computer to switch to Dead By Daylight. You may say, "well why don't you use Wine?", because of how Easy Anti Cheat doesn't work with Wine! It is pretty easy to port your game over because of the ability of cross compiling with the Unreal 4 Engine. Easy Anti Cheat also supports linux, so what's stopping you? Is it because of being responsible of maintaining such a thing or is it because of the security risk of cheaters?

The devs stated in their 4th anniversary they plan on releasing DBD onto more platforms.

Hopefully that they will release a port onto linux based on that information.

This would be great. I have a friend who can't play anymore because he has to use Linux (apparently, parts of his computer aren't compatible with Windows). I don't know how difficult or time-consuming it would be to implement, but if it's as easy as you're implying I think it would be an excellent addition.

I bet the dedicated servers run on Linux. that or PaaS

Ironic right 😂

There could be issues with how the game runs in itself, i don't know because I'm not a game programmer at Behaviour. So it seems easy on the front but there may be more work that needs to be done internally before cross compiling and using eac on linux.

Don't mean to revive this if it's dead but I am interested to see if I can play this game on Linux. Reading this, it seems that may not be possible currently, even with WINE. My GPU is AMD and a lot of games use OpenGL (not including DBD, I know), and I know the implementation of AMD on Windows 10 for this is pretty bad, so I am hoping this means I can overall enjoy games a bit more. It would be great if they could port the game and EAC over to Linux so that more people can access the game.

I play sometimes on a windows VM in linux, it's a bit laggy sometimes but its playable. I use latest vmware workstation beta.

This doesn't work for me, I have problems with my OS (Sparky Linux) finding the kernel headers. I don't feel like messing around with this and searching the deepest annals of the internet for a solution to a problem that shouldn't exist. They would have a better time just porting to Linux. EAC isn't really a barrier. There's no excuse.
