bad performance

[Nerf]

• CPU 5800x
• GPU 6950xt
• RAM 32gb 3600mhz
• Mobo Asus X570-E strix

Normally when i'm playing an actual game i get around 140-180 depending on which i lane i get but after around the 20 minute mark i drop down to the low 90s just traversing around the map doing camps or the low 80s if im fighting one guy.
First screen shot is at 1920x1080 low settings 100% render quality
Seconds screen shot is at 1680x1050 low settings and at 50% render quality
Can play at 1440p and see no difference and same thing applies to 4k only when i go to 8k the framerate drops down to the 60s but i don't play at 8k lol

ye same at the start I atleast have 100 FPS but when midgame starts it goes to 70-80 FPS or even lower in fights....

5600x

The game is horribly optimized at the moment, and configs although help a little bit, don't do nearly enough.
Best you can do right now is look into Optimization Lock's gameinfo.gi to boost performance

I have noticed frame drops as well in this recent patch. As well as a very light intermittent flickering effect with similar hardware to OP.

The game is very CPU-bound, I get nearly the same performance at the lowest and highest settings. I've got a Ryzen 5 5600x and a RX 9070 XT, same performance degradation over time, and I've noticed the overlay shows it uses up to 14 gigs of VRAM and GPU utilization generally hovers between 70-89%. I tried switching to Vulkan as many games I've played in the past were generally more performant but in Deadlock at the moment this appears not to be the case. Average FPS seemingly isn't too different but the game has far worse 1% lows and feels quite jittery to play. As of now DX11 is the only playable option for me.

I'd really like to see some improvement in this area because while the 5600x isn't by any means a new CPU (atp it's nearly 6 years old), it's probably still better than most Steam users and I have friends with older PC's who can't keep the game at 60 FPS with lowest settings at 1080p 50% render scale.

I have the same cpu and I cant get more than 50% gpu usage sadly so im playing with like 60-100 fps always switching around. :/

Same issues are happening to me, Ryzen 9 5950x and an RTX 4080 installed on an SSD. Ill go from 200+ frames down to single digits some times, especially during fights. Ive changed every setting, uninstalled and reinstalled the game and my gpu drivers. Tried running the game in admin mode and still nothing. Its unplayable at this point.
