New44
- Ship 2.0 with a local catalog and new addon folder layout
- Add Albums tab with DeadlockSkins.gg collections and one-click album download
- Show GameBanana comments and changelogs on mod pages and when updating
- Add an OLED theme with true-black backgrounds and a customizable accent

- Warn when your mods stop loading. If a Steam update or another tool rewrites Deadlock's gameinfo.gi, a bar under the title bar says how many enabled mods are affected and re-applies them in one click. Game updates are detected too, and Valve's latest patch notes now show on the Dashboard.

- Add rich GameBanana author profiles to mod browsing
- Import mods, profiles and crosshairs from Grimoire or a mod-interchange file; export them too
- Add the Lovelock theme, a plum and pink preset inspired by Asteria's Lovelock Companion. Status bar icons now follow the active theme's accent colour.
- Enable match data sharing by default. New users can turn it off during onboarding, and existing users see a one-time notice with the option to turn it off. Users who had already turned it off keep it off.
- Remove a mod from My Mods when all of its files are deleted from the addons folder, even while the mod manager is open. A mod that lost only some of its files stays and shows a "Files missing" badge, so you can reinstall or delete it.
- Show which enabled mods change the same files
The Mods Library has a new Conflicts tab listing every overlap between enabled mods, with the mod used in game first and a Load first button for the others. Mods whose model is hidden by another mod get a badge in the library, and overlaps you're happy with can be ignored per profile. It is on by default and can be turned off under Settings > Experimental.
- Browse the Mods Store by section: Mods, Sounds, Albums and WiPs have their own tabs, and Maps joins them with the Custom Maps experimental option. Hero and category pickers sit next to search, while the rarer filters (updated, added, NSFW, outdated) live in the Filters menu.

- Add a connection diagnostics tool that pinpoints why a page failed to load.
- Add a Privacy setting to clear saved NSFW choices and restore preview blurring.

NSFW blurring now matches what GameBanana hides, and the catalog no longer drops mods that move between pages while it syncs.
- Fix localized hero name art (e.g. Korean) showing as plain text when mods are enabled by writing the current
Game_UILanguageandGame_LowViolencesearch paths to gameinfo.gi
