How to Bypass Deadlock Time Restrictions Unlocking Unlimited Access

Are you among the many gamers already hooked on Deadlock? We’ve got a way for you to play anytime you want. Here’s how you can bypass Deadlock’s time restrictions and grind the game as much as possible before its official release. Check out everything you need to know about Deadlock in our dedicated article.

Deadlock is a game currently being developed by the teams at Valve. With its unique blend of MOBA and FPS elements, Deadlock is currently available in a pre-alpha version by invitation. If you’re one of the thousands of players who have already gained access to the game, you might have noticed that the game offers limited access based on time slots. To play even outside of these time frames, you just need to switch servers: switch from the EU server to the NA server and vice versa. Be aware that the ping difference between the two servers can be significant.

Changing servers is fairly simple, and we describe the steps in the rest of this article.

How to Change Servers in Deadlock

To keep server loads manageable despite the growing number of players, Valve imposes a time-slot system. This system also ensures that several hours each day are reserved for developers to maintain and integrate new elements into the game.

To bypass the time restrictions and switch servers, follow these instructions:

In the game menu, press F7 to open the console and enter these command lines:

• To switch to the North American server: citadel_region_override 0
• To switch to the European server: citadel_region_override 1

This trick allows you to play at any time, any day of the week or weekend.
