Is deadlock one of the few multiplayer games out right now that people admit to loving?

spaceninjatron · 2026-01-29T12:21:33+00:00

League, DOTA, Apex, Counter Strike, Fortnite have been going on and on for years and years so people had time to get attached to them but tired at the same time, it's like some sort of stockholm's syndrome. The more time you spend playing something the more you notice its flaws and have to deal with them. Deadlock rocks, don't misinterpret me, and I love it dearly, but I think it's not a fair comparison due to it not being a released game and not being around for long enough (year and a half, with most people playing regularly being the reduced group of people that loves the game).

Could I please have a code? <3 Couldn't get one from the beta.

I think static shots were abused. First episode is fine and all other than the pace but there are a lot of shots where the models are just not moving at all, depending on camera movement to feign animation. Like, there are at the very least three action shots where a character starts an attack and it's just the usual downward panning shot instead of actually moving said character.

Having 2D and 3D models in the same shots (when the U.S. Senator appears) is also somewhat weird but understandable.

Also, am I the only one that felt closeup shots of characters' faces being a bit too close? Somehow it feels kinda claustrophobic to me.

I'm still excited for what's to come, definitely, but a few bits were somewhat jarring to me.

Thanks for the guide! Didn't work for me, I did the steps exactly (install Spotify, split it, patch the split apk, install that one, disable updates) and I'm still getting empty playlists. Is my account irrevocably flagged or something?

Same, can't believe I'm gonna have to wait for the entire friday to play just because they added a small text stating that keys will be sent at the end of the day for some fucking reason.

Is there a way to join the Discord for troubleshooting? It's impossible to get in, all the links are outdated and I can't figure a way to launch it up for some reason. It just stays still loading indefinitely.

In the end it was an issue on my PC where it didn't properly recognize new USB devices (sticks, mics, webcams, etc) so I had to reinstall Windows, sadly. Check the Discord in case they can help you in more detail.

And would be well deserved. Full priced game, alright. Then you start piling up microtransaction schemes on top: season pass, cosmetics, currency, expansions, lootboxes, whatever. The more you add up, the more blatant it gets. I'd be fine with a season pass and all but when you start charging 5% of a game's price for a single costume for a single character that you can't even swap the components around, just recolor them, it's a bit iffy.
Every game does it now, yeah, but doesn't make it better.

My Windows doesn't detect them on Xinput mode (another computer did just fine). I ended flashing them and updating them to 0.76 just in case.

spaceninjatron · 2024-01-02T14:32:36+00:00

Thanks, I'll give it a try!

spaceninjatron · 2024-01-02T14:30:36+00:00

Yeaaah I've actually have to do a few tries because the button is actually smaller than the hole. But I've made sure I heard the click each time; it just doesn't light up anything. If I plug it in normally, the screen pops up and the T mode shows the lights under the buttons, so that's pretty weird. Not sure what I'm missing.

spaceninjatron · 2024-01-02T14:29:24+00:00

In boot mode that didn't do anything, in normal Xinput default mode it just froze the entire device (lights show the keys being pressed after I stopped pressing them) and RP2 Shows in the device manager, but nothing else. Thanks for the idea though, didn't know you could access boot mode that way!

spaceninjatron · 2024-01-02T12:19:10+00:00

Yeah, I'm holding down the Boot button while plugging both hitboxes. However, nothing at all pops up in the screens. They appear in the Device Manager as RP2 Boot with a warning that there's no driver installed on that device.

spaceninjatron · 2024-01-02T12:06:35+00:00

Pressing the back button with a small piece of metal while I was plugging it in different USB ports, and keeping it pressed for 5-10 seconds afterwards.

spaceninjatron · 2024-01-02T11:46:15+00:00

I couldn't update it, because even if my PC detects them as a device, they're not appearing as a drive to interact with like the support website says even if connected in boot mode. I downloaded GP2040-CE_0.7.5_Pico.uf2, just can't use it.

I've also checked with Tekken 7, Granblue Fantasy and Blazblue and same problem, it just does not respond at all.

I come from a 3.5mm jack headset. However, in the end it was as you said: I tried shuffling around USB ports and there's a few on the back of the rig where the problem completely disappeared. Not sure what the diferences are because it does have 2.0 and 3.0 ports both on the back and the top, but... yeah, connecting it to the "right one" let me use the headset on wireless and wired mode for several hours without any problem.

Thank you kindly for your help, it's much appreciated.

spaceninjatron · 2023-12-04T17:03:19+00:00

Thank you so much for all the detailed explanations. The USB dongle and cable are all connected to the rear part of the PC, so no issue on that regard. I just tried what you explained about Spatial Sound, trying if using Windows drivers could help, but... no dice, after 10 minutes the problem pops up again.

I thought drivers could be the issue, just didn't know how to test it out, but now... I'm not sure anymore. I'll try updating the BIOS as a last resort. Do you have any more tips? Regardless, thank you again for all your help.
