Explanation

I am experiencing the same BSOD issue when launching Dead by Daylight on Steam.

• Stop code: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
• The crash happens shortly after Easy Anti-Cheat initialization reaches 100%.
• It happens on multiple PCs across different internet cafés.
• The cafés I tested use GCafe / GBillingClient.
• The game worked normally on October 27–29, 2026, but the issue returned on October 30, 2026.
• Steam file integrity verification completed successfully.
• I also found prochook.dll in the GBillingClient folders, although I cannot confirm whether it is the cause.

Could you investigate whether this is related to an Easy Anti-Cheat, game update, or software/driver compatibility issue?
