⚙️ Setup

1. Download all files

2. Back up your original gameinfo.gi and video.txt

3. Replace gameinfo.gi and video.txt with the downloaded versions

4. Place pak99_dir.vpk inside the addons folder (create the folder if it doesn't exist)

5. Edit video.txt — fill in the lines marked with [CHANGE] to match your system:

SettingValue
VendorIDNVIDIA = 4318 · AMD = 4098 · Intel = 32902
DeviceIDCopy from your original video.txt
setting.mem_level4–8GB RAM = 1 · 12–16GB = 2 · 24GB+ = 3
setting.gpu_mem_level2–4GB VRAM = 1 · 6–8GB = 2 · 12GB+ = 3
setting.defaultresYour monitor width (e.g. 1920)
setting.defaultresheightYour monitor height (e.g. 1080)
setting.recommendedheightSame as defaultresheight
setting.refreshrate_numeratorYour monitor Hz (e.g. 144, 240, 360)
setting.r_citadel_upscalingNo upscaling = 0 · FSR2 = 2 · DLSS = 4
setting.r_citadel_dlss_settings_modeDLSS Off = 0 · DLSS On = 1
setting.r_dlss_presetCNN = 0 · Transformer = 10

? DLSS Preset: RTX 4000 & 5000 series → use Transformer (10) · All other GPU cards → use CNN (0)

⚠️ DeviceID is unique to your GPU model. Open your original video.txt before replacing it and copy the value exactly. Do NOT leave it as ????.

? How to find your original video.txt: Steam\steamapps\common\Deadlock\game\citadel\cfg\video.txt

6. Set gameinfo.gi and video.txt to Read-only to prevent the game from overwriting them → Right-click → Properties → check Read-only → Apply

7. ⚠️ Do NOT change in-game graphics settings after applying — it will overwrite your video.txt

? Notes

• ? After a Deadlock update, check if gameinfo.gi was reset — if so, replace it again
• ? The yellow outline mod (pak99_dir.vpk) is optional — remove it from addons if you prefer default outlines
