Please excuse the broken English.
I use Mullvad VPN, and deadlock is one of the few games that do not work with it enabled. Even when excluding all .exe files located in the game files in the VPN's split tunneling function, the game just infinitely loads until i turn off the VPN.
But, when using seemingly any of the command options provided in the hanturaya101 competitive config listed at the end of the report in the gameinfo.gi file, the game loads up and works just fine with the VPN enabled, which is incredibly convenient.
But, for some reason, using any of these command lines breaks the microphone in-game, even when starting the game without the VPN enabled.
The "Voice Level" meter stays at its highest position even when the microphone is turned off, the "Listen to My Mic" option does absolutely nothing, and players in-game have "pleasantly" informed me that my microphone in-game sounds incredibly high-pitched and abrupt.
I'm 99% sure that using absolutely any option from the list would recreate the issue.
