Explanation

Suddenly when launching the game I get the error "EAC client cannot be initialized" after going through the easy anticheat launcher and just auto closes. I searched on google and tried the suggested fix from this reddit threat https://www.reddit.com/r/deadbydaylight/comments/1f3ll4f/eac_client_cannot_be_instantiated_please_help/ as this exact same issue has come up. However unlike this thread the game hasn't updated as far as I'm aware, not to mention the fact that I launched this game yesterday for the daily login and it worked. I was hoping to get the daily logins for today and tomorrow because they're especially juicy.
