⚙️ 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:

⚠️ 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
