MaidehnlessAuthor on GameBananaOptimisationlock - Competitive FPS Optimisations — quality of life/fixes for Deadlock
IMPORTANT Hey Chads, Chadlings, and Chadettes! If you are passionate and have a drive for optimising Deadlock please PLEASE join my discord server ! We are a rapidly growing community dedicated to Optimising this source jank of a game and I need everyone's help, there is more information in #general-updates explaining what I need. I have big plans for Optimisationlock HOWEVER I need a lot of help from the community to expedite this process as it is very demanding for just one person. Issues revolving around config files seem to vary case by case, so to help users optimise their game and fix issues related to my config I have created a Discord Server that everyone is welcome to join! ATM its very WIP, but happy for feedback! I have expanded on the definitions of the cvars to bring more clarity to what the cvar does, however please keep in mind that there are some cvars you will need to edit, specifically the fps_max command since this is monitor specific, however it wouldn't hurt to read through the commands to get an understanding of what is being effect! HOW TO INSTALL/USE THE SCRIPT! Extract the .zip file Open Deadlock's local game files and navigate through to "\Deadlock\game\citadel" Copy and paste the ``gameinfo.gi`` file from optimisationlock into \citadel and confirm replacing the original one Additionally, copy this code and put it in Deadlock's launch options -dx11 -hi…
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 Optimisationlock - Competitive FPS Optimisations?▾▴
.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 Optimisationlock - Competitive FPS Optimisations 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 34,475 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 Optimisationlock - Competitive FPS Optimisations?▾▴
.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.
