I keep getting banned. Game Crashing

After a few games each session my deadlock will crash while loading into a game. When it crashes it forces me to verify files which I do but then it stays at 0% infinitely. Then I usually have to search on google and see how I can fix it. The problem I care about is that when I do end up fixing it and I open Deadlock, I'm banned, and each time its a longer ban. Can I please be unbanned I didnt do anything wrong.
 
While I'm unhappy with the strangely long ban time for a second 'offense' (First matchmaking suspension was also a crash) - The type of crash is also really weird.
Game crashed upon loading into match with an error log telling me to verify files - But also rendered steam unable/unwilling to launch or verify deadlock until a full system reset.
Hi, I'm trying to collect a lot of people with the same problem on the same thread. Could you run a DXDiag if you are running Windows, or just post your specs? It may be a hardware component issue we have between us
 
Game is pretty much bricked for me as of today. Played Friday without any crashes, but today I CTD every 2-5 minutes and verification is stuck at 0% Reinstall didn't fix

Is there a thread where this is getting compiled? Would like to contribute. Having same issue every 10-12 games.
 
valve does not care, they would rather ban people who like playing the rather than cheaters. if they cared there would already be an appeal feature.
 
No real fix. Most people say its a memory issue so either try the XMP fix or get some new Memory. I keep crashing at this point I'm taking a break until its addressed.
Do you also get the low memory warning on startup? I started getting this a few days ago, same time I started crashing.

I have 32gb ram and not much else running, so it shouldn't be an issue. Usage doesn't go above 60% in task manager while in game. My best guess is that it's somehow pagefile related (was running low on disk space), still seems odd given that I never ran out of ram though.

Looks like it was pagefile related, freeing up some space and setting it to 8gb has removed the warning and stopped the crashes. Still a bug though, the page file shouldn't be needed when ram isn't limited.
