Optimize your settings so you can avoid lag throughout matches.
Deadlock is a pretty hectic MOBA shooter, and if you don't own a super gaming PC, there's a chance you'll need to tweak some settings to maximize your FPS.
If you're new to competitive online games, having the highest FPS possible is always best to ensure a game runs smoothly. Some players experience unnecessary lag because their settings are not optimized enough.
Fortunately, with a couple of adjustments here and there in your video settings, you should be able to play Deadlock without lagging out in huge team fights or even one of these long-lasting 1v1 duels.
Without further ado, here are the best settings for Deadlock.
How to change the video settings in Deadlock
- Launch Deadlock
- Click on "Settings" at the bottom of your screen
- Navigate to the "Video" tab
