Deadlock region change
  1. Launch the game.
  2. Open the console (F7 by default)
  3. Enter the command citadel_region_override 2
  4. The region has changed and you can start playing (for lobby games it is enough for 1 person to change the region, and it launches for everyone).

Which regions can you switch to?

The game has several regions available, namely:

  • Automatic region selection (default): citadel_region_override -1
  • North America (NA-C): citadel_region_override 0
  • Europe (EU): citadel_region_override 1
  • Asia: citadel_region_override 2 - we recommend this one for players in Russia, the nicest ping and the best hours to play.
  • South America (SA): citadel_region_override 3
  • Oceania (OCE): citadel_region_override 5

Playing hours in each region

Every region has its own hours with open queues. As we said above, we recommend using Asia, but if you need different hours, go by this:

North America - 23:00-13:00 (MSK) Friday to Sunday 19:00-13:00 (MSK)


Europe - Monday to Thursday 15:00-04:00 (MSK) Friday to Sunday 11:00-04:00 (MSK)


Asia - Monday to Thursday 09:00-22:00 (MSK) Friday to Sunday 05:00-22:00 (MSK)


South America - Monday to Thursday 21:00-10:00 (MSK) Friday to Sunday 17:00-13:00 (MSK)


Oceania - Monday to Thursday 06:00-20:00 (MSK) Friday to Sunday 02:00-20:00 (MSK)
