Deadlock Early Access Feedback: Sound and Custom Game Bugs

[khaiyoutargaryen]

First off, I want to express my appreciation for allowing us to share issues and feedback during this early development phase. As someone coming from competitive games like Dota 2 and CS:GO, I’m genuinely impressed by the quality and potential of Deadlock so far.

Here are some bugs I’ve encountered:

1. Sound and Performance Issue During Large Fights

• The game runs smoothly with around 120fps normally. However, during large team battles or fights at the Patreons, the sound becomes heavily distorted and the game performance drops drastically to about 5fps.
• Interestingly, CPU and GPU usage don’t spike during this lag, which suggests it might not be hardware related, even though I’m running a GTX 1650.
• This symptom happens regardless of headset frequency changes or whether using external speakers.
• Turning off game sound entirely does not resolve this issue.

2. Custom Game and Party Bugs

• When creating a custom game, inviting a friend works fine initially. However, after the game ends and I switch to invite that same friend to a party, I am no longer able to click the “create custom game” button. The workaround so far is restarting the game entirely.
• Additionally, some commands like removing bots to practice movement or enabling cheats sometimes fail to activate.

Thanks again for developing this game and taking feedback from the community! Looking forward to seeing these issues addressed and the game grow.
