Deadlock server status: When can you play & how to change regions
ValveGetting in to play Deadlock is no walk in the park, and players need special access to dive into its matches. On top of this, you’ll also need to choose the right time, as the servers aren’t always open.
Deadlock is taking the gaming world by storm, with thousands of people enjoying the adventure, despite the game not really being out yet. However, since it’s still only available as a playtest, getting in and enjoying battles isn’t a walk in the park – especially when you have servers to contend with.
So, to help you get into Deadlock when you want to, here’s the current server status, server times for your region, and how you can change region.
Server status
Deadlock’s servers were experiencing issues when the September 12 update went live, but those have since been resolved. If you’re still having trouble queuing, relog and you should have no issues.
Since Deadlock is still in its playtest stage, server interruptions are to be expected, especially when the devs deploy a large update.
Server times
ValveServers have been opened up 24/7 as of the September 12 update! This means you’ll be able to play Deadlock any time, anywhere.
How to change regions
There isn’t as much reason to change region now that the game is live 24/7. If you still wish to do so, though, you can follow the steps below:
- Head into the main menu and press F7
- Copy the command into the game’s dialogue box
- Press enter
After this, the region should change on theright-hand side of your screen. As such, the server times will also update.
ValveThe codes you need to enter are below, as each is different depending on your desired location:
| Region | Command |
|---|---|
| Automatic | citadel_region_override -1 |
| North America | citadel_region_override 0 |
| Europe | citadel_region_override 1 |
| Asia | citadel_region_override 2 |
| South America | citadel_region_override 3 |
| Oceania | citadel_region_override 5 |
Currently, there seems to be no major disadvantage to changing servers, but it’s always worth being careful.
So, that’s the current server status of Deadlock, as well as all the game’s regions and when they go live, so you know exactly when you can join in on the adventure. While diving in, be sure to check out our tier list for the best characters, or some of our build guides for Vindicta or Infernus.
