Deadlock server status: Deadlock Network Offline explained

Deadlock regions and servers

Getting in to play Deadlock is no walk in the park, and players need special access to dive into its matches. And, though it’s now available for playtesting 24/7, that doesn’t mean the game doesn’t have an interruption here or there.

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.

And, though the game now has 24/7 playtests, there have been intermittent server issues. Here’s what we know about Deadlock’s current server status.

Server status

At the time of writing, Deadlock’s servers are live! If you’re having trouble, try restarting your game and waiting a few minutes.

Since Deadlock is still in its playtest stage, server interruptions are to be expected, especially when the devs deploy a large update.

What does Deadlock Network Offline mean?

This error message could either mean that the servers themselves are offline, or that you’ve been disconnected from your internet. There are, however, times where this message pops up even when servers are supposed to be up and your internet is fine.

If that happens, try restarting your game and check the Deadlock Discord server to see if there are any interruptions. Momentary outages are to be expected and usually pass quickly.

Servers 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:

  1. Head into the main menu and press F7
  2. Copy the command into the game’s dialogue box
  3. Press enter

After this, the region should change on theright-hand side of your screen. As such, the server times will also update.

South Americacitadel_region_override 3

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.
