Every morning I wake up and think, maybe today is the day we get an update. Then I load up this forum to see the stone dead silence and I honestly don't know why I expect anything more. *Insert crickets chirping* Looking at all the other bugs and problems in game, I feel like Linux has just been pushed to the back of the…

O god I hope not. They'll add a check to make sure it only works on Steam OS! 🤣😭

Nobody knows because BHVR refuse to tell us anything. It does seem like it's BHVR that needs to fix/enable it.

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 🤣

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.

the game would need to be completely redesigned and balanced and have you seen how long bugs last? The game is balanced around that game play DESIGN! it's not an accessibility feature! The perk should be removed and you should play it the way it was designed! Or make the perk a game filter/ reshade to see in the dark.…

The sad thing is they probably don't even read this thread. Looks that way to me. The CM offers nothing and the Mods claim we're being disrespectful or tell us to stop tagging devs. Baring in mind we're paying customers. Neither mention that they're going to ask the higher ups and get back to us. We get a red tape…

Shadowborn should not be base kit at all. FOV is not a fundamental 'feature', it's literally limited by design. You're playing a hide and seek game and are basically asking for it to be easier to find people. But flashlights... A poor counter, they would have to increase the angle at which you could blind. Which will…

Come on man just give us something. Tell us you won't support it until an official announcement but just turn it back on and let those that can play. Play. We'll take on the support role and try help other players... 😅

If anything performance is better for me on Linux. (When they let us play!)

Like Nikodemo suggested, join our thread. Just for anyone else that sees this, it was playable. We had several players playing it on steam deck and Linux. On both Epic and Steam for several days without issues. But it got 'disabled' without any reason or explanation. There's no obvious reason why it's not playable right…

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! 😅🤣

Still not a single word from the CM or devs. Just tested the current state of affairs and getting disconnected from bot games. Now back to the original disconnecting before even joining multiplayer matches. Can we somehow send some coffee and 5 hour energy to the poor developer (Singular) that's been lumped with Linux…

Yeah until now it never did. You would be kicked before joining the match server so you wouldn't be classed as dc'ing. Which meant you could test different setups. Maybe this is them making progress? Crazy timing that it's now doing this after I joked about queuing as Killer earlier. 😅

Hhmmm... Got into a game. Walked a few steps thinking 'O damn!' then got booted. Now getting locked. Great now we can't test it....

:( Same here.... Only my 'Friends' are in discord shouting at me, calling me a lemon. Trying to make me install Windows. 😂 Would rather put up with another year of waiting tbh.

Damn excitement got the better of me too :P Should of thought they'd take away our toys. I'm currently testing different Proton/EAC combos. I feel sorry for the Survivors getting booted before games since I'm queuing as Killer. Sounds like a great way to protest tbh 🤣

I hope so.... But not holding my breath. Bought the rift pass and 2 DLC's yesterday. I'm betting it gets enabled again the day after the rift ends 🤣. What's the refund policy on DLC? (joking obviously, shame you have to clarify lol)

What type of response is that? Yes you haven't said you support it, Sure. In fact nobody has said anything. About EAC, About Epic, About the steam client working yesterday and then being suddenly disabled. We've had it working on multiple clients FLAWLESSLY! On Steamdeck, Native Arch and several Linux distros with zero…

Yeap same here disconnecting from a bot lobby too. Swear I had an update before launching the game this afternoon that said EAC setup. Looks like they've disabled it again server side. Anyone still have heroic version installed able to check if that still works?

Nah it was exciting.... Now it's just sad. Not even a post to say 'Sorry, we've found some issues and disabled it while we fix them'.

Wow they really disabled it again! Bought more DLC last night and uninstalled the heroic version too! Honestly amazing! /clap And typical the CM is out of the office! genuinely disgusting customer service. Rizzo can we talk about this respect thing again mate?!

Yeap! Thank you devs! took way too long. But I can finally play on my main account!

Yeah I can confirm I just loaded into a game without needing to do anything. proton 41 no need for TKG. I had an EAC update on first loading steam. Looks like the devs have fixed it. No launch parameters. no fancy tweaks. just loaded in

GG! Would you be able to explain the steps you did to run it. Did you build Proton TKG from source etc? Nikodemo will probably update the OP.

Just to clarify a full multiplayer match? You've been able to play against bots and do the tutorials for a while.

This using the Heroic launcher? Edit: Getting disconnected from steam like Siylph wrote.

Does dlc transfer over? Not a chance I'm buying them again. They're aiming to get the cross progress tool back up by THE END OF THE YEAR! 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣 I'd say they'll have the Steam client fixed by then but honestly who knows. 🤣😅 You have to laugh at this point. If my friends played any other multiplayer game I would of just…

Yeah a different account, You can merge progress using the tool online between steam and epic. But in typical BHVR style the tool has been down since JULY!

Did you use one of the methods posted in here? I had one error while logging back in this evening. Restarted the client and logged back in fine. Same for you? Edit: Didn't have any errors yesterday, Only tonight after unlocking FPS. You haven't unlocked too have you?

Yeah it's a shame it's currently EGS only, I'll switch to Steam the second it's possible but just being able to play at all is a win 🤣 When you update the original post could you please mention what Gustash wrote, that it's not supported and could break at any time. Would it also be worth suggesting using a fresh throw…

I understand what you're saying and why but the game DOES work. I've played it for two days none stop and the only issue I've come across is incorrectly lit basements. I think we can safely say it works as long as we make sure people know it requires manual setup. Also that BHVR refuse to comment on the work around so…

Read through the previous page. It works with some setup using Heroic launcher (Epic Games Store client) 2 ways to setup, one with just Heroic and another using Heroic Bash Launcher.

can I ask what method you used to make it work? steam runtime etc?

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…

Youtube Alex the Absolute Length, I've not read the rules on posting the link or advertising so I don't want to link it 😅. Just streaming it to show it's possible.

I don't have much experience with anti cheat and only have limited experience with game development. but the fact it works on Epic but not Steam with the Steam runtime is baffling. Still playing and streaming to Youtube since I posted that the games working. It's running flawlessly too. Zero issues, this feels like such a…

Mine is PROTON_EAC_RUNTIME = /home/*USER*/Games/Heroic/Proton_EasyAntiCheat_Runtime Because I copied the steam runtime to my Heroic folder. Yours will have to point to where you put the steam runtime. I'm not sure if you can use it from the steam folder. I had issues with the spaces so just moved it instead

Shows it works! just need them to sort steam now! Actually have some hope now 🤣🤞

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…

I'm still able to get to the menu etc. Still kicked when trying to join a multiplayer game. Tutorials work perfectly fine everything seems stable. Experimental Proton Arch linux (not steamdeck) Error 500

lol? Want to explain this? I stand by everything I wrote, if you think that's toxic you should keep off the internet and protect your soul. Not everyone is a raging 10 year old. Text can be typed in more ways than just angrily smashing a keyboard. Not toxic, fed up is the term I'd use. After finally seeing a CM post, you…

Keeping us updated??!?!? To get any response you have to tag the community manager? even then the response is "NOTHING". Bearing in mind it's their jobs to read the forums/social media and give updates, to communicate. You class having to manually tag them to get ANY response "updating us"? I appreciate they're people and…

Tbh I'd rather just spend money on a different game

They promised support and have choose to give zero updates to their paying customers, Is that not toxic? I'm not saying being toxic over a game is right, not in the slightest. But they haven't exactly painted themselves in the best colour, never mind Linux users.

Many people are. All we can do is wait, Keep this thread alive and hope.

You would of thought so, but at this point I'm not even sure we'll get any announcement. Good or bad. O well, Just play other games I guess 🤷‍♂️

Honestly, what is the deal? Rule number one of any good games studio is communication. The radio silence is just off putting at this stage. Steam deck has shipped 1 million+ units. That's a decent sized market to support alone, never mind Linux users in general like myself. I switched to Linux after putting up with years…
