Symptoms

During the title screen, Dead by Daylight crashes without any error/system message being displayed. I have tried using Proton Hotfix, Experimental, and version 11, yet the result is the same.

Reproduction

  1. Steam Library > Locate "Dead by Daylight", and right click it > Properties
  2. Compatibility > Select "Proton Hotfix", and check the box for "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool"
  3. Hit the Play button, and allow the game to load
  4. Reach the title screen, and observe the game crashing

Hello @allplaynobite, we're using one issue report per unofficially supported game title, so I've gone ahead and transferred this issue report to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/519#issuecomment-5995296051.
