Deadlock: FPS Guides & Cast
Deadlock’s closed beta is still active and community guides are trending with step‑by‑step Windows, GPU and in‑game tweaks to squeeze max FPS for testers. (fandomwire.com) Valve also published the full Deadlock voice‑actor list, signaling a heavier narrative push for the hero shooter ahead of wider beta. (fandomwire.com)
Closed testing for Deadlock first opened to invited players in spring 2024 and the community discussion embargo was lifted when Valve published a Steam page on August 23, 2024. (deadlockwiki.org) Third‑party tracking shows Deadlock has drawn massive interest during playtests, with SteamDB recording an all‑time peak of 171,490 concurrent players on September 2, 2024. (steamdb.info) Community and tech guides are converging on concrete settings: recommended 1080p/60 specs include an i5‑10400F or Ryzen 5 3600 with a GTX 1660 Super, while 1440p/144+ targets call for an i7‑12700K or Ryzen 7 5800X3D paired with an RTX 4070 or RX 7800 XT. (gamehelper.io) Practical tweaks being circulated name specific in‑game changes — set Rendering to Direct3D11/-dx11, turn Motion Blur and Depth of Field off, use FSR2 (Performance or Balanced) or equivalent upscalers, and lower shadows/effects for the biggest FPS gains. (beebom.com) Valve has pushed notable server/API changes detected by players — the playtest tag and DevPlaytestStatus checks were removed from the coordinator and Statlocker traffic spiked during tests — even as Valve has publicly said no open beta is planned in the immediate future. (vgtimes.com) The voice cast roll call now lists 38 playable heroes and includes recognizable names such as Yuri Lowenthal, JB Blanc, Robbie Daymond and wrestler Joe Seanoa (Samoa Joe), a lineup compiled by multiple reporting guides and credits listings.
