This game works out of the box. I installed it and it ran and I played. Steams default compatibility layer is proton-cachyos. proton-cachyos is the one that CachyOS developed with added QoL changes + cherry picked patches + compilation optimizations

Sometimes there's just a moment of stuttering.
Multiplayer as intended
Proton Hotfix DOES NOT work for this game. Use Proton 9 or 10

Installs and runs without any issues, no tinkering needed.
The performance and stability are better than my Win11 setup. I had no graphical or network issues, didn't change anything, and went with the defaults. Even with the new messy 'Walking Dead' patch, it's working flawlessly.

Works really well, just like I remember it working on Windows.
Bonus points since I have a friend who plays the Epic version on Linux using Heroic, which also works really well!

no shadows

Worked fine with Proton 9
Tried with Proton GE, didn't work. Tried Proton 9 and it worked completely fine

The Game runs out of the box. No tinkering necessary. Ive installed it to a mounted HDD and it runs perfectly fine, steam overlay works too
Works out of the box

Proton Hotfix highly recommended as this is a GaaS title, but good performance despite EAC
Note that this game breaks often with each patch, so any issues found on Linux will likely be because of the last patch, not the game overall

Ну даже учитывая что я использовал модифицированный proton игра идет отлично я думаю будет также и на обычном
Mangohud %command%
Все отлично работает я бы поставил платину но не уверен пока потому что не тестил онлайн (R5600 GTX1060 3GB 16GB RAM)

Changed Backbuttons and added Q and E for event and perk abilities
TDP Limit 10

-dx11
Artifacts include squares popping in and out, and strong flashing lights in portions of the screen. These disappeared when the -dx11 launch option was used.
Game worked incredibly well right away with a standard Proton version and no launch options. No issues with anti-cheat or anything else that could be problematic. The tweaks were done to remove visual artifacts.

I changed settings in the Engine.ini and GameUserConfig.ini files for more exact graphics settings.
Get "lag spikes" ingame
The game pretty much runs like it would on Windows. After editing two .ini files to my personal preference, I get a solid 144 FPS. I do sometimes get lag spikes during games, which undo the last ~3 seconds of gameplay, however this could be a server issue, even if I didn't experience it a couple of days ago on Windows.

launch options given by reshade
Installed reshade, if you want to install it too you can install it on https://github.com/kevinlekiller/reshade-steam-proton, the install location is /YOURFOLDER/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Dead by Daylight/DeadByDaylight/Binaries/Win64/ After installing reshade will give you a command you have to put inside your extra launch options, they look like this WINEDLLOVERRIDES="stuffhere" %command% Turn config while in the game with the "home" button
worked flawlessly for me
I keep getting massive fps drops, that i didn't get on Pop OS or Windows
Runs perfectly out of the box. No tinkering required.
Turning off steam overlay fixed all the stuttering

-dx11
If I do not write "-dx11" as launch option of the game in Steam, nothing happens after the Easy Anti-Cheat splash screen.
Works awesome with no tinkering. Tried it on Mint and PopOS! as well and no problems there either.

added E and F keys to back buttons, added emotes to D pad. L2 is Q

Used to be able to launch, but not anymore
I have attempted various fixes, it simply refuses to change the end result
I have attempted to launch the game multiple times, but now I am getting an error where wine fails to draw a window for the game to run properly

Sometimes works, sometimes not too great.
Some killer made my game go down to 1 fps, I don't even know which one it was because the game was so laggy I couldn't see.
Mouse travels to other monitors in Borderless Windowed and Fullscreen mode

I used proton-cachyos by default but also works under Valve's Proton and also Proton GE with no issues too

The game works perfectly but if the parameter is not specified, it does not start the game.
-dx11
The game works perfectly but if the parameter is not pointed out, it does not load the map at all, for some reason this game is incompatible with Directx 12 and I could only make it work on the heroic game launcher, on steam it always gave the error "steam offline" even when online, it seems that proton on steam has problems communicating with the steam launcher, at least on my computer,
It runs out of box.

gamemoderun %command%
DELETE RESHADE IF U HAVE IT!
mangohud %command%

gamemoderun %command%
Changed to borderless fullscreen to fix
Didnt use mangohud as the game wouldnt launch
Installing EasyEffects made dbd start crackling randomly, fixed by running
pw-metadata -n settings 0 clock.force-rate 48000 && pw-metadata -n settings 0 clock.force-quantum 500
every update (and the ptb) worked, now nothing works didnt go any further than the anticheat/easycheat pop up

PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 %command%
Just need to use GE-Proton10-4 and add PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1%command% as a launch option
Game ran great without tinkering on the latest stable Steam version of Proton. Very nice experience.

Worked amazing, proton hotfix
:)
