If you're experiencing issues launching or connecting to the game while in Russia, it's likely due to regional restrictions or sanctions that are affecting many online games and services.
Suggested Fix:
To resolve this issue:
-
Use a VPN:
Using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) can help bypass regional restrictions and allow the game to connect properly.⚠️ Important: Always check your country’s laws regarding VPN usage before proceeding.
-
Choose a Reliable VPN Provider:
Free VPNs may be unstable or insecure. Consider using a trusted, paid VPN service to ensure consistent performance and security. -
Set the Region:
Connect to a country where the game is fully supported (such as Germany, Netherlands, UK, or the US). -
Restart Steam/Game After Connecting:
After enabling your VPN and connecting to a supported region, restart both Steam and the game.
