How to Change Server Regions

Changing server regions in Deadlock offers players a unique advantage, allowing them to enjoy the game at their convenience without being tied to specific server times. For those dedicated to the game, waiting for servers to become available can be a significant frustration, especially if they want to play during different hours or days.

This process is straightforward and requires no additional tools like VPNs or advanced technical skills. Players can simply load the game, input a command in the console, and switch to a different server region. This enables them to play on schedules that better fit their personal time frames.

How to open the console in Deadlock

To access the console in Deadlock, players simply need to press F7 on their keyboard. This action brings up the console interface, displaying various client, network, and input commands. Once the console is open, users can input specific commands to configure their game settings. For instance, changing the server region can be easily done through this console, allowing players to enjoy Deadlock at different times of the day. This functionality is similar to what is seen in other Valve games, making it a familiar process for experienced gamers.

How to swap server regions so you can play Deadlock sooner

Navigating server regions in Deadlock allows players to engage in gameplay even when their local servers are inactive. For those in the NA region, this can be especially useful if you want to play before the servers go live. To achieve this, modify the server region using console commands.

Use the following commands based on your desired region:

  • North Americacitadel_region_override 0
  • Europecitadel_region_override 1
  • Asiacitadel_region_override 2
  • South Americacitadel_region_override 3
  • Oceaniacitadel_region_override 5

Executing these commands will shift the matchmaking hours to align with the new server's local time. This way, you can determine if gameplay is available. Be aware that this change might result in higher ping, thus affecting the game experience.

To revert to your original region, simply input the corresponding command for your initial server. This ensures you can return to your preferred latency and matchmaking environment without hassle.
