"Valve AC Challenge timed out."

[Playeroth]

i restarted the game because im having jittering/freeze issues with the game. ( mentioned here https://forums.playdeadlock.com/thr...sue-returned-recent-patch-pc-spec-info.69450/ )

this is the second time this issue happened. this is happening very recently, the first issue appeared 3 days ago. Some recent game patch.

is there some program that may cause issue? doesnt makes sense as i tried to restart pc, steam, game and i play this game everyday, which only very recently i encountered this issue, and its quite rare for now. That said, i believe its some recent patch as i have not made significant changes to my pc. No VPN being used.

im able to rejoin after atleast 10/15 minutes, just like the first time i encountered, sort of a pattern.

No crashes at all, game runs flawlessly except for this issue. It's random when it happens as well, could happen 1st game of the session or the 4th. Am now coming off of my 3rd ban because this shit happened again.
