Deadlock Server Status

Valve's revolutionary MOBA Deadlock is in its early access, so several support features like a dedicated server status page have not been implemented yet. However, you can monitor the game’s server status on these platforms: 

Steam Status Page

Since Deadlock runs on Steam’s servers, any outages will likely impact your gameplay. Head over to SteamStat to see if any issues with Steam might be causing problems with Deadlock. This is your go-to resource for anything related to Valve’s server health.

Official X (Twitter) Account

You can find the latest news about Deadlock on their official X account, especially when it comes to server maintenance or unexpected downtime. 

Discord Server

The official Deadlock Discord server is a great place to connect with the community and get real-time updates from other players and sometimes the dev team. If the servers go down or there are any issues, you’ll likely hear about it here first from fellow players.

DownDetector (For Steam)

Though Deadlock isn’t directly listed on DownDetector, you can still use it to check for any Steam-related problems. This site relies on user reports, so if a lot of players are experiencing issues, you’ll see an uptick in reports here. 

Troubleshooting Basic Deadlock Connection Errors

If you’re having trouble connecting to Deadlock, here are some practical steps to get back in the game:

• Clear Game Cache 

Game cache files have the potential to become corrupt over time and interfere with connectivity. To remove your download cache while playing on Steam, navigate to Steam Settings > Downloads and choose "Clear Download Cache."

• Update Your Drivers

Older software often leads to connection difficulties and crashes, verify that your operating system and graphics drivers are up to date. 

• Check for ISP Throttling

Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) may be limiting your bandwidth if your internet connection looks sluggish at certain times of the day. To get around this, consider using a VPN and if the problem persists, contact your ISP.

• Verify Game Files on Steam

One possible cause of issues or frequent crashes might be damaged game files. In your library, right-click on Deadlock, choose Properties > Local Files, and select "Verify Integrity of Game Files," you may use Steam to check the integrity of your game files. 

• Restart Router and Use a Wired Connection

Restarting your router if you're experiencing lag or disconnections helps. Also, switching from Wi-Fi to a wired connection provides a more stable experience.

• Check Firewall/Antivirus Settings

Is Deadlock on your whitelist? Otherwise, your firewall or antivirus software will block the game's ability to connect to the servers. Temporarily disable the firewall and antivirus program to see if it fixes the issue. After that, turn them on once again. 

Keeping these resources and tips in mind teaches you to handle server problems or connection issues while playing Deadlock.
