Do you have an antivirus software installed? If so, please add the whole folder of the game to the exception list.

Isn’t this just because you haven’t typed a lobby name into the top box?

[BigDaddyBarry]

I added every folder I could find to the exceptions and no luck

@BigDaddyBarry I now see that you blocked out your lobby name in the image - can you confirm if it appears in red (it should NOT be red) - I think you might be using a lobby name caught by the swearing filter. For reference, your username would be censored… (I just checked)

[BigDaddyBarry]

@PsychoticSock1 That was it. Thank you so much. I would have never figured that out on my own.

[PsychoticSock1]

You’re most welcome

@Felizon89 perhaps a warning message for the lobby filter would help!
