I know there are other posts on this issue but none of them are actively being talked about or being updated. For reference, I've had this issue for roughly a week now maybe a little longer. This is an issue that is affecting my ability to play at all. I have:
Ran the Steam repair as suggested in one of the other posts, nothing.
Played on a different PC, same issue.
The current PC I use for gaming has a fresh install of Steam AND Deadlock.
I barely run anything on my PC other than the game itself and some music, no outside firewalls and I even double checked to make sure that there were no errors or exceptions with Steam or Deadlock itself. At this point it's forcing me to abandon more or less every third game, even restarting the client after every game to prevent supposed memory leaks (This was a rumor I'd heard wasn't sure if it was true) does nothing.
I really enjoy the game very much, I don't want to be permanently banned for something that's outside of my control. If there's other potential fixes please anyone who knows what could resolve it I'd be very grateful for any information you might have. As I've multiple hundreds of hours in the game not being able to play is a bit frustrating and I'd like to fix the issue from my end if that's possible.
For those who are unaware of this issue, my game will crash and upon trying to rejoin I will be handed a "VAC Challenge Time-out" error that essentially tells me to reinstall the client and Steam. No matter what I do after this message appears I am unable to rejoin at all, this includes restarting my PC, Steam, Deadlock, whichever. Any advice would be great thanks!
