Features

New features introduced in Deadlock including:

TAA anti-aliasing
A spatial anti-aliasing technique that combines information from past frames and the current frame, while also slightly jittering to smooth the current frame. It produces results similar to Super Sampling Anti-Aliasing (SSAA) and is cheaper than both MSAA and SSAA, however, its main drawback is that it can cause ghosting and blurriness to the image, and creates motion blur when in motion, especially noticeable with a lower framerate or resolution, or by moving the camera quickly (Example here).
TAA can be enabled by enabling AMD FSR 2/FSR 3 upscaler, or by using Nvidia DLAA.
AMD FSR (1.0, 2.0 and 3.0)
An open-source upscaling algorithm developed by AMD, which does not rely on machine learning and runs on traditional shading units, allowing it to work on any GPU vendor. Both FSR version 2.0 and 3.0 are temporal-based compared to 1.0. When the user chose to run the game on lower resolutions to improve performance, FSR will attempt to upscale and sharpening the image to make it less blurry on native monitor resolution.
Note.pngNote:Deadlock previously have FSR 2.0, before FSR 3.0 was added. FSR 3.0 is only available with Vulkan API, while FSR 2.0 is available for DX11.
Nvidia DLSS 4.0
A upscaling algorithm developed by NVIDIA, which relies on machine learning. DLSS also comes with DLAA anti-aliasing, also a temporal AA but more stable and slightly less blurry in motion.
Early Development Build "chain-ban"
If a player invites or is invited by a player that becomes banned from the game, they will be removed from the Early Development Build. It is unknown how far down the "chain" of invite association bans are given.
Distance Field Shadows and Reflections
Improved Cascade Shadowmaps
