This video explains a specific cause of the “EAC Client Cannot be Instantiated” error in Easy Anti-Cheat games like Dead by Daylight.
While the error usually points to general connection issues, this guide focuses on a less common root cause—restricted access to AWS servers in certain countries. It also shows how tools like Exitlag and v2ray interact, and how a hidden system-wide proxy created by v2raytun can break connectivity even after it’s turned off.
You’ll learn how to identify this issue, remove the hidden proxy using command line, and restore proper connection so the game can run with low latency.
