This isn’t my first time having problems being unable to play the game, but I’ve usually been able to find a solution.
My problem right now is that my internet is simply too unstable to play Deadlock. Because of this, I started playing on my hotspot, which has worked completely fine with no ping or stutter issues.
The first time I had the problem of not being able to connect to the servers was on August 23rd, 2025.
I asked on the Discord for a solution and was recommended to set my DNS to 8.8.8.8.
After doing that, it started working perfectly fine.
Now, on September 16th, I’m encountering the same problem again, but setting my DNS server to 8.8.8.8 no longer fixes it.
I would greatly appreciate any kind of help, and maybe even an explanation of why this error seems to exist.
The ERROR Message im getting goes like this: "You are not currently signed in to Steam or the Deadlock Network is unable to determine your current connectivity to our servers"
Here is what the Message in the Console says:
Encountered unrecognized client entity in portrait map - info_player_start
Cannot access SDR network. Unable to communicate with ANY of 30 Steam Datagram routing cluster. Possible problem with local internet connection?
