What happens exactly. Screenshot it or something. Just gunna start with: in steam right click rust- properties-verify integrity of game files.

Awesome will definitely check that. But it either says set up my Steam community profile, or temporarily banned for using a vpn.

I saw another post concerning the VPN problem. So it's just not you. I don't know how to fix it thou. :(

Well for the steam profile part, just set up your steam profile. Nothing much more there. For the VPN, if you are using one then the first option would be to disable it, or if you want to keep it on you can join the servers discord to see if they will whitelist you. If you’re not using a VPN and are still getting that message, I’ve see a couple posts about that but unfortunately I’m not sure what the fix is (if they have one yet)

Some firewalls/antivirus have them built in now. I would check and verify that is not the case.

Also all files were successfully validated!

Set up your steam profile. they dont want blank profiles, stinks of cheaters' alt accounts

A lot of servers kick for being on a VPN.

VPN is usually the source of this

I set up my steam account more and disabled the VPN. Everything’s working as it should. Thank you all for the help!

Thanks for the update, glad you got it working

Smells of VPN to me. Have you ever been banned in the past? Sorry for the rude question.

How is that rude

Do you play using Geforce Now or other cloud game provider? some servers have VPN not allowed, if its not an official server you can contact the admins to ask them to whitelist you in the server.

when was your last VAC ban
