Predator Deadlock

1Prepare Steam and graphics

Use Windows 10 or Windows 11 x64 and the Steam version of Deadlock. Vulkan is not supported by this release.

Enable the Steam in-game overlay and check that Shift+Tab opens it. Remove conflicting launch options and use a supported DirectX configuration.

Synchronize your Windows time and region before activating the license.

2Activate your account

Open the Predator account and product page using the loader button above. Register or sign in at predator.systems and activate the key delivered by NFAccount.

Download the current loader available for your activated product. Close Deadlock and Steam completely before initializing it.

3Load first, then launch through Steam

Open the loader, select Deadlock, and start Load. Wait for the loader’s game-launch prompt rather than starting Deadlock ahead of initialization.

Open Steam and launch Deadlock from your library. Verify that Steam’s overlay still works inside the game.

Use the current loader instructions for menu access. Do not reuse a hotkey from another NFAccount product.

4Keep optional functions separate

Predator includes an optional spoofer function. It is not a required click for normal menu setup.

That function can reset Steam settings and saved account data even though installed game files remain. Review the effect with support before using it and retain any account recovery details you need.

5Waiting for game initialization

Confirm that you launched through Steam, the Steam overlay is enabled, and Vulkan is not selected. The documented DirectX launch options are -d3d12 -dx12; ask support if your current game build handles these differently.

If it still waits, report the exact loader state, graphics mode, Windows build, and order ID to NFAccount support.
