Why am I getting banned for no reason EVEN WHEN I RECONNECT TO MATCH ???

[Seltkirk]

this is getting ridiculous! Fix your game, this does not look good! Just slapping people with 1 - 5 day bans for something happening ON THE GAME'S END isn't going to fix the issue! I don't appreciate being put in a corner and told I can't play because an error happened. I have managed to reconnect BACK to the match and play, even after Steam refuses to verify game files for like 5 - 6 minutes, and STILL win the game! I get back to the menu only to find out I've been banned for a day. I'm so disappointed right now.

I would certainly appreciate having this needless restriction removed so I can resume making and creating content for your game.

Just searched through this forum and found MANY OTHER USERS are having the same issue. Lol time to go back to Rivals or something, this is such a bad look for Valve and Deadlock's growth as a whole. I would like to see some effort put forth to solving this issue MANY OTHER USERS are having.

no no its a bad look punishing players with 1 - 5 days bans for no good reason. Try again. If you aren't going to help solve this issue which many players are having, you shouldn't respond with unnecessary replies.

Wrongful ban applied 12 / 27 / 2025... 5 DAYS??? WHY???

 

[Seltkirk]

8 pointless games I have to win, they dont even count for anything, ONLY AFTER the 5 day ban. XD What?

 

[Seltkirk]

UPDATE:I have completed the 8 Low Priority wins after the horrid 5-Day ban ended, and surprisingly didn't suffer any crashes! THANK GOD. I did reinstall my drivers feeling I was out of options, apparently it got results. TRY REINSTALLING YOUR DRIVERS if you're suffering from those dreadful .vpk file corruptions.

 

[Seltkirk]

WELL. I'm pissed, 2nd game into normal matchmaking and the midtown.vpk file CORRUPTED AGAINNNNNNNN... This is so depressing.

 

[Seltkirk]

ANOTHER 1-DAY BAN ONNN TOOOPPPPP OFFFF another 8 games in Low Priority? DEVS, RESPOND, DO SOMETHING, FIX THIS GARBAGE BUG???

 

[Seltkirk]

I find it very suspicious that only after 15 games and only 2 back into normal matchmaking my game is being crashed. It's almost like they specifically don't want certain people playing the game based off some hidden variables or information.

do you have mods installed? there were other people in this bug reports that were having the same issue, you may take a look if someone got it fixed. Also it seems the temporary fix is to ask someone to give you their PAK file that you have corrupted

 

[Seltkirk]

and also how Steam JUST FLAT OUT REFUSES to verify game files for like 7 minutes... THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE has been occurring for OVER A YEAR.

these corruptions are unrelated to mods.

I have completed the 2025 Winter Challenge,. My conclusory advice for preventing the bug is to reinstall your graphics drivers. (This could've helped prevent the bug, but I cannot say 100% for sure, as other users still have it occur.) OPEN DEADLOCK FIRST, NOTHING ELSE, I tended to open discord and OBS after I was already in a match. We can certainly zero in on this bug being RAM RELATED. Be careful.

What GPU brand are you using? I got banned too a few times in a row for no reason because the server kicked me out of the game with no option to reconnect, only to abandon in order to be able to queue again only to find out I was banned and put in low prio several times. I have never found out what was causing that issue. I made a thread back then, you can see it on my profile. If you are right regarding GPU drivers and if it helps I was on AMD GPU. I switched to NVidia at some point and it's been more than 6 months since I had any issues whatsoever regarding this problem.
