The configurations focus on maximizing FPS, reducing input lag, and minimizing visual distractions, making it ideal for competitive gameplay.
Note: While these settings aim to optimize your gaming performance, individual results may vary based on your specific hardware and peripherals.
To optimize your Deadlock gameplay, add the following commands to your launch options in Steam:
Command | Description |

Executes a cfg file on startup |
-dx11 |

-m_rawinput 1 |

+@panorama_min_comp_layer_cache_cost_TURNED_OFF 256 |

For use drx11(I would recommend): -dx11 -m_rawinput 1 +exec autoexec.cfg -high -preload -fullscreen +@panorama_min_comp_layer_cache_cost_TURNED_OFF 256
For use vulkan(Maybe better for AMD, you can just test it): -vulkan -m_rawinput 1 +exec autoexec.cfg -high -preload -fullscreen +@panorama_min_comp_layer_cache_cost_TURNED_OFF 256
