Game-specific tips
Deadlock- Enable AFK prevention โ the app nudges your mouse every 10 seconds to stop Deadlock kicking you for inactivity.
- Enable Auto-requeue โ the app cancels and restarts your search every 9 minutes to keep the queue alive while you're away.
Dota 2- Queue detection works even on a second monitor. Just make sure the Dota 2 window is visible (not minimised).
CS2- Leave CS2 in windowed or borderless windowed mode for the most reliable detection.
Optionally enable Auto-accept to let the app click Accept for you the moment a match pops.
