After choosing a match to spectate from the Watch menu, over the course of spectating the match the client begins to degrade and eventually disconnects with the following console output (numbers differ between matches but the output is otherwise the same):
The console begins to spam
To ensure it was not a configuration issue I made a backup of Deadlock via Steam and then uninstalled it, disabled Steam Cloud, manually deleted the leftover install folder as well as the userdata folder for Deadlock, restored the backup, started the game once and then re-enabled the Steam Cloud choosing the local configuration for the conflicting saves prompt. No settings have been modified from default other than mouse sensitivity and audio volume, and no custom configurations, mods, or launch options are applied. I restarted my modem and router both to ensure it wasn't a local network issue, and I also changed my VPN exit node to rule out external factors. The issue persists when disconnected from the VPN as well.
EDIT: Seems to no longer be occurring as of 10:00 UTC. No changes on my end.
EDIT2: Started again spectating a match with around 22 spectators connected at 11:20 UTC. Immediately reproduced spectating a match with myself as the only spectator shortly after as well.

Playcast cannot retrieve fragment [number], and then after failing and disconnecting the client transitions to the loading screen (spinning logo) but gets stuck and is unresponsive to user input other than opening and closing the console. Entering disconnect in the console returns to the Hideout without closing the game.To ensure it was not a configuration issue I made a backup of Deadlock via Steam and then uninstalled it, disabled Steam Cloud, manually deleted the leftover install folder as well as the userdata folder for Deadlock, restored the backup, started the game once and then re-enabled the Steam Cloud choosing the local configuration for the conflicting saves prompt.
