Valve PLEASE Optimize the game before you disallow configs

Valve has seemed to already have started taking steps to disallowing gameinfo changes. Several reports of an error stating "Unable to enter matchmaking while any party member has changes to ConVars in Gameinfo.gi"

Valve please I beg you do not start doing this before making the game playable for 70% of the playerbase. The game is far to unoptimized right now to start disallowing this.

yeah but instead of only disabling the outline changes that allowed people to wallhack they are removing all ConVars changes completely, this affects people on lower end pcs greatly, some to the point of not being able to play the game at all.

yeah fair, i can see how that may be annoying. perhaps just stick with the video options available in settings for now?

If this goes through, I'm going to be completely unable to play the game. I get that it's needed to stop cheaters but if that's the case they should really optimize the game before disabling it for people without high-end PCs. How can they expect to attract MOBA players when most MOBAs can run on non-gaming computers and then Deadlock can't?

What specific config-setting you're referencing to?
Asking mainly since at least the "aspect ratio / FOV"-changes can be still done, as I for one have mentioned here:

If they are doing that maybe we could get some extreme 'potato" options like agressive culling; culling cuts rendering while afecting some CPU usage, but it massive improves FPS.

Why not integrate some of the most used convars into video options for the video config?

We shouln't be here begging for things to improve the game, if they really want feedback we have plenty at Deadlock Modding DC, it just feels like they don't listen to the average joe.
 
ive also been unable to keep my gameinfo.gi i used which allowed me to play docked on steamdeck at 60 fps (mostly) and like 2 whole bot games on battery with 40fps lock before having to recharge, its a bit of a shame :/ hopefully a fix soon so i get to play again as ive been loving my time with the game (options menu for more graphics stuff or allowing some convars would be really nice)

(i fixed the gameinfo.gi thing i was being an idiot)

+1, as many here already said, these changes will affect most people, I will probably not be able to run deadlock at any competitive level if this comes through. I relied solely on fps config to make the game playable and enjoyable.

no one likes cheaters and abusers, but please consider leaving out other ConVars or optimizing the game before coming through with this, thank you.

i believe most is similary to this. https://gamebanana.com/mods/609804 . for example, i use this one because currently i only have 8gb RAM as another one got corrupted, and this does increase my fps, or else i would be playing at ~30fps. Tests with proper 16gb ram did show an increase in FPS by using these settings but i personally avoid using these (has to use atm though) to actually make a proper feedback later..

it gives me amazingggg performance and helps me a lot with stability. I would be sad to see it go completely. I hope they instead block certain ones.

i play on an i3-9100f with a 1650 (regular not super) on 16gb of ram. its a shit pc. if it weren't for these third party configs that rely on heavy cvar editing i wouldn't be able to get a stable 60fps with clear visibility. i understand that some convars are bad for the game, but i can't imagine that a blanket ban of all convar edits to gameinfo would be any better for the long term.

i wouldn't be opposed to the tradeoff afar.code presents higher up in the thread, as that would still be a way to squeeze out as many frames as possible without having to worry about bad cvars slipping through to the general playerbase. but using Mastercoms tf2 config as an example and seeing how heavily it impacts my performance (both gameplay and hardware wise) on that game, i think that the gameino.gi editing would be more preferential.
 
+1 Have several friends that need this to be able to play Deadlock at all. Modifications to that file should use a blacklist rather than outright blocking all changes.
 
+1 With a shitty laptop ( i7-1255U 16gb of ram) the game is only playable at 60 fps with modified convars in gameinfo.gi (and smallest screen resolution), without it, it is literally unplayable at 5-6 fps
