Continue with Steam Deadlock players report long freezes, missing item descriptions and audio problems
Individual reports describe freezes and audio delays, but the cause and a reliable fix remain unconfirmed.
Deadlock users have reported technical problems they associate with an update, including freezes, missing item descriptions and delayed audio. The reports are individual accounts and do not establish how widespread the issue is.
In a Reddit thread started by NameAnonymous, the player describes freezes lasting between five seconds and two minutes. They say the game can stop during a team fight or while they are alone in base. Some audio reportedly disappears or becomes muffled before multiple sounds play back together after another freeze.
The listed system uses a Ryzen 5 7600X, Radeon RX 5700 XT, 32 GB of RAM and an SSD. The author says their drivers are updated and the problem occurs with or without mods. That describes one affected PC; it does not identify a fault common to those components.
No confirmed fix in the thread
Another participant reports problems in borderless mode but says fullscreen works normally on their machine. Replies also suggest reinstalling the game or changing the graphics API. None is established as a general fix for the reported freezes.
The thread’s automated moderation message directs bug reports to the official Deadlock forum. It recommends including PC specifications, match IDs, reproduction steps and any available logs or video.
The discussion contains no developer confirmation of the cause. It also does not establish which change, if any, in the update triggered the symptoms.
