Deadlock Bad Performance

Raydon — Wed, 25 Feb 2026 14:16:29 GMT

Ok look I know deadlock is still in development but it's been out to the public for over 1 year at this point. The game has well over 100k active players peak every day it will be a huge game. As of recently the performance across all platforms has taken a large hit. The game is stuck using dx11 so performance on the arc b580 has gotten to the point its nearly unplayable. large dips below 30 fps and averages around 60-90. For context I was getting well over 120fps averages on a rx 580 8gb around 4 months ago. Vulkan api is an option in the in game settings but the game does not load correctly when vulkan is selected so using vulkan is out of the question. has anyone had any luck with vulkan?
