Fps config For Competitive — quality of life/fixes for Deadlock
Check out my Twitch and Donations are appreciated (shameless plug, I know). I found a way to modify the fov and boost FPS by tweaking shadow settings, decals, freezing some physics (like ragdolls and prop breaks), reducing prop break pieces, lowering max render distance for props, and turning off or lowering effects like particles, HDR, SSAO, fog, and more. If you want to make a vid about this config do credit me it helps me alot All these commands actually work , but they’re hidden by default —you can’t just run them in the console nor in video.txt . You need to add them to gameinfo.gi instead. Don’t expect a huge FPS jump, but performance is noticeably better, especially during team fights. I’ll keep updating this post as I find more tweaks, so stay tuned! To use my settings you need to open the gameinfo.gi located in your game directory "steam\steamapps\common\Deadlock\game\citadel" . After you found the file you find a string called "ConVars" then you paste my cmd after the first bracket. Example: ConVars { (cmd goes here) "rate" { "min" "98304" "default" "786432" "max" "1000000" } CMD: // ================ CORE QUALITY ================ "gpu_level" "0" // Minimum Shader Details Level "cpu_level" "0" // Minimum Effect Details Level "mat_set_shader_quality" "0" // ================ FOV ================ "r_aspectratio" "1.75" // [ADJUST] FOV control: 1.33=70fov | 1.56=75fov | 1.…
Compatibility
Model replacements are the first thing to break when Valve edits a skeleton, so re-check after each patch. It conflicts with any other mod replacing the same asset — two in the addons folder means whichever loads last wins, and the other one silently does nothing.
Is it safe
It is client-side: the file lives on your machine and other players see the default game. Cosmetic addons have not produced bans, but Deadlock is in active development and nothing about mods is officially supported. Keep a copy of the folder before a patch and remove it if the game stops launching.

Frequently asked questions
How do I install Fps config For Competitive?▾▴
.vpk into game/citadel/addons and name it pak01_dir.vpk. That folder only loads once gameinfo.gi lists it, which is a one-time edit — check the install guide.Is Fps config For Competitive safe to install?▾▴
.vpk is a data archive, not a program, so it cannot execute code the way an installer can. The risk is provenance. This one has 23,318 installs, so a problem would have surfaced on its GameBanana thread. Mods with almost no downloads from accounts with no history have had none of that scrutiny.Will other players see this mod?▾▴
Can I run it alongside other mods?▾▴
pak01_dir.vpk and pak02_dir.vpk installed, pak01 wins and the other does nothing.Does it still work after the latest patch?▾▴
gameinfo.gi and remove your search paths, which stops every manually installed mod at once — redo that edit and they come back. Separately, model replacements break first when Valve edits a skeleton; recolours and HUD mods usually survive. The author posts updates on the GameBanana page.Where does the download come from?▾▴
How do I remove Fps config For Competitive?▾▴
.vpk from game/citadel/addons, or toggle it off in the Deadlock Mod Manager library. Mods never overwrite game files, so nothing needs repairing afterwards.
