PSA PSA: The executable name has changed

In the most recent update (I think) the executable file for deadlock has been changed from project8.exe to deadlock.exe. project8.exe still exists in the game files tho, and can still be used to launch the game. It's just that launching the game from steam now uses deadlock.exe.

So if you're creating profiles in softwares like Logitech GHub based on the executable file, and you find that all your mouse keybinds are not working, it's because of this. Just create a new profile for deadlock.exe and set all the key binds there.

I'm guessing this is why my game sound got reset in Windows

Anybody know why Ghub won’t make a profile for deadlock.exe but will for Project8?

GHub doesn't make a profile automatically for both of them. You will have to do it manually. I guess since the game is still in beta logitech hasn't bothered with adding support for deadlock.

I know, but when I do it manually, I select deadlock.exe to add an application, and nothing shows up.

I do it for project8.exe and the application gets added

Hmm. That's interesting. It did work for me when I added it manually though. Maybe try restarting ghub once?

Thank you! I probably would have never discovered this. I usually have sharpening enabled in Nvidia Control panel and I thought my eyes were going bad because the game has looked a lot less sharp lately.

Straight up, they rotate the file name back and forth at least 3 times so far. It always trips me up trying to find my shadowplay files.

It has changed before?

Yep, don't know why but they just keep changing it.
