How to Change Server Region in Deadlock

Sep. 4, 2024

Deadlock, the MOBA shooter made by Valve, is already peaking past its potential. I recentlytried Deadlock, and it made my Dota 2 memories resurface in a good way. That said, as Deadlock is still in early development, certain features are locked in-game. In Deadlock, you can play matches only in your region during a certain window. Once the time is over, you must wait till the next day. Well, no more waiting if you’re addicted to the game. Deadlock allows players to change the server region to matchmake and keep playing the game. Curious how? Learn how to change the server region in Deadlock in this guide.

All Server Region Console Commands

Unlike CS2 or Dota 2, there is no dedicated option to change servers in Deadlock just yet. To change the server region in Deadlock, currently, you will need to use console commands. There are a total of six console commands, including one for automatic, to change regions.

You canchoose between the North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania serversfrom the console. Here are the Deadlock console commands for all the server regions in the game right now:

Now that you know the command, here is the step-by-step process you need to follow to change the server region in Deadlock:

Once you switch servers, the matchmaking will be open again, allowing you to play Deadlock to your heart’s content. However, do note that you might experience hit registration and rubber-banding on other servers due to ping spikes at times.

You can also use the option to change servers to play with friends who live in different regions. But, setting it to “automatic” will always select the best server region for better ping. You can bypass the matchmaking timer by switching to a different region.

Hence, if you want to play Deadlock after the matchmaking has ended in your region, changing the server is the best way. Have you tried the Deadlock playtest yet? If not, learn how toget an invite for Deadlock playtestin our guide here.
