Deadlock

Deadlock

I CANT GET ACCESS TO DEADLOCK
I wanna know if I'm the only one with this problem. I have been invited several times by several people and I still haven't gotten access to the game Deadlock.

Has anyone else been experiencing this?

Does anybody maybe know how to fix this issue?

i ended up making an alt account and got my invite within a hour 🥲

Damn, thanks for this info - so we're back to the beginning what could be the reason for this problem :D

i have the same issue, i do think it has something to do with the steam family, it's the only thing i can think of, i do have a steam family and i added my brother some time ago but none of us have the game and i have been invited several times now

Are there people who didn't get access and they don't have family sharing?

What do you need to get access on alt account? My friend cannot send me an invite to the game cause it says my account is limited (I just got steam guard on it and I haven't spent 5$ yet)

A friend invited his alt and it got accepted within 1-2 hours. I've also opened a support ticket but no response yet (and it will probably stay like that)

It comes down to 2 possible options as far as I can tell:

1. Our accounts are flagged, go figure why.

2. The invite system bugged out due to the massive demand, and it thinks we are already accepted without the invitation actually getting through. This makes subsequent invitation attempts pointless since we're "already" in. The odds anyone actually fixes that are probably the same as someone answering my support ticket.

It is what it is. I refuse to open an alt and spend money to play something everyone else gets for free. There are other games to play out there.

1. These accounts are not flagged but just bugged (mostlikely by family share/view stuff).

2. I just want to know what the limitations are, I don't mind spending money.

same here, waiting since 6 days, multiple invites, my account should be ok, never cheated or even talked to some strangers, just my friends.

What you have to do to remove your limited status is spent 5$. I only have a german link for the article, but look at the steam help for "limited account" and you will probably find the same article in any language: https://help.steampowered.com/de/faqs/view/71D3-35C2-AD96-AA3A

What about 15 days with steam guard turned on? On marketplace the restrictions are based on steam guard aswell.

I am also leaning toward it being bugged rather than the accounts being flagged, but it's impossible to know. I have never had family sharing on, if that is what you are implying may cause this problem.

I’m in the same situation. I do have Steam family enabled, and received multiple invites about a week ago. It says I already have access when anyone tries to invite me now :steamsad:

My friend got access on his account and his alt in max 2 hours. I've been waiting since Sunday to get in. This is just sad at this point

Same here, multiple invites waiting several days between attempts. I wouldn't be suprised if in order to limit the player count in the alpha, they did something as random as "if your steam ID ends in a 4, 5, or 6 you are not allowed access. Alt account might be the move.
