Dead By Daylight
Easy Anti-Cheat
Supported. The developer has enabled Linux / Proton support for this anti-cheat. Online play should work.
Setup & launch options
%command%Easy Anti-Cheat and BattlEye only work under Proton when the developer has enabled it for this game, and no launch option changes that. Use the latest Proton (or Proton Experimental) and leave launch options empty unless a note below says otherwise.
General guidance only. Per-game launch options aren't part of the upstream dataset, so follow the community notes for game-specific steps.

Easy Anti-Cheat works under Proton only when the developer has enabled Linux support. There is no launch option to turn it on.
%command%%command% is replaced by the game's normal start command, so this adds nothing. Tick an option above to extend it.
