  1. If this is true and it last it'll be amazing since i like dbd with friends but my computer is so bad playing killer is impossible and playing survivor im basically forced into suicide rescuing people since no joke my current computer runs the game so poorly I've have to hit skill checks before they even show up on screen with how bad the delay and skipping is so doing a gen or healing is near impossible.

  2. That is some god tier survivor gameplay right there 😂

    For real tho, I’m actually super happy about this. When dbd did their graphics update a couple years ago, my potato computer could no longer run the game above 25fps.

    Now I can get back into it

  3. Would be cool to see a new list of the biggest games that are broken due to anti cheat, a lot of people think certain games are broken when they have been fixed

  4. This has been one of the main titles I wanted to see on the deck and had been considering installing windows for. Really glad to see it working, finally.

  5. Advice if you want to get into dbd and you're scared, watch gameplays. Most dbd players including me would agree dbd is more fun to watch than play sometimes.

    I love dbd ever since i saw its trailer back in 2016 and was only able to play on my laptop since 2021. Meaning 5 years of pure gameplay vids. The scare factor goes most matches now when i play and its more a game of how long i can get the killer to chase me (not an overt much lmao) but every so often the killers do something weird or are really skilled to the point that my heart starts pounding. Unlocking the exit gate, last man standing and the killer coming with an insta down hit just gets you to an adrenaline high. I reccomend dbd even though i 'hate' it.

  6. I don’t think Crytek ever publicly announced that Hunt: Showdown enabled EAC for Linux a few months back, and it’s still working…

    I’m not sure why devs wouldn’t want to announce what is essentially the “launch” of their game on a new popular platform, but at least they’re supporting it!

    There’s a few games that have straight up said they’ll never enable EAC for Linux, which is more frustrating than having it work without official confirmation.
