Easy Anti-Cheat incompatibility and potential workarounds?

TV/Smags3D · October 3, 2026

I'll be honest, I'm not really savvy when it comes to this mobile hardware and Linux stuff so anything I say could sound stupid, just a heads up.

I've noticed that games which use Easy Anti-Cheat tend to not work on the Steam Frame no matter which settings and tools I use. This annoys me a bit because those same games can work on the Steam Deck just fine. I was wondering if anyone would have any workaround ideas to make those games work, or at least give an explanation as to why they don't?

This issue happens with multiple games, but I'm trying to particularly get #Dead by Daylight working on this if it helps.

    Have you tried changing proton compatibility tools to like experimental and whatnot?

    • TV/Smags3D (edited)

      Yeah I've tried Proton Experimental, and the ARM version as well. Haven't tried every single one yet but EAC just either gives error 1 or can't launch the module at all (also have tried verifying files, but no luck). I'll give a few more tried with different compatibility tools but it really seems that EAC dislikes this hardware.

        Im going to do some research on this topic. Im curious now.

        Yeah this might be because EAC isn't expecting or knows how to handle ARM. Atleast with normal proton, its still x86.

        Thats my guess.
