Dead by daylight crashes on launch

I installed dead by daylight following guides and have done the following: - Installed Game with heroic launcher - Installed EAC runtime in steam - Moved EasyAntiCheat folder into ./DeadByDaylight/Binaries/EGS but when I launch the game: - EAC starts and its logo and loading bar appear - After the loading bar reaches the end nothing happens - Game closes after a few seconds Any help is appreciated

Update heroic I would also recommend wine-ge instead of proton

flat-fuchsiaOP•3y ago

Did you set the proton EAC runtime var To point to the steam one

flat-fuchsiaOP•3y ago

Jup, but it still crashes after the EAC loading window LogPluginManager: Error: Unable to load plugin 'OnlineSubsystemEpic'. Aborting. Is the last log entry before it goes to sh*t so it's my nr.1 suspect

foreign-sapphire•3y ago

it's not shown in your log

PROTON_EAC_RUNTIME=/home/x/.config/heroic/tools/runtimes/eac_runtime

is in the Launch Command line (emphasis *** added)

foreign-sapphire•3y ago

you may need to uncheck the EAC runtime option in Heroic

flat-fuchsiaOP•3y ago

tried that but didn't work

foreign-sapphire•3y ago

provide a new log because I'd need to see if the old EAC env var got changed

alright, looks like the env var is set correctly. I'm now out of ideas :Thonk: I saw this on a couple of ProtonDB posts specifically about running it via Heroic:

Copy ./DeadByDaylight/EasyAntiCheat folder into ./DeadByDaylight/Binaries/EGS

flat-fuchsiaOP•3y ago

Did that as well but the error persists Why must this game be so cruel

exotic-emerald•3y ago

Works fine for me Sounds like a skill issue tbh /s

continuing-cyan•3y ago

env var is no longer needed afaik

exotic-emerald•3y ago

Yeah I know I was too lazy too tell them to delete the eac runtime folder And then renable the eac toggle When they probably already had set the env var

continuing-cyan•3y ago

I mean it's not wrong

exotic-emerald•3y ago

I think they are missing some wine dependency or something

CommandMC•3y ago

This is on Flatpak, so that's not possible

exotic-emerald•3y ago

wait do they have permission to the steam folder within the flatpak?

flat-fuchsiaOP•3y ago

Its not on on flatpak, it was initially but I had the same worries that it might be lacking permissions

CommandMC•3y ago

Yes

flat-fuchsiaOP•3y ago

After this point I compiled heroic locally and installed it from the AUR

CommandMC•3y ago

Ah Yeah in that case you may be missing dependencies. https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/WineDependencies.md

exotic-emerald•3y ago

this

flat-fuchsiaOP•3y ago

I'm 43% sure I already installed those but I'll try tomorrow and give feedback! Thank for all the help so far Damn, all the dependencies were already installed an up to date

conscious-sapphire•3y ago

hmm i tried this by copying the eac folder (the whole folder or just the files inside? tried both) and starting the game but i always get that the eac cannot be instantiated, eac is activated with gamemode (using flatpak heroic)

exotic-emerald•3y ago

go to ~/.var/app/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl/config/heroic/tools/runtimes and delete eac_runtime then re enable the EAC runtime this will update it to the newer version that dead by daylight needs if that doesn't work you can always copy the steam one over

conscious-sapphire•3y ago

that worked tyvm!
