Problem Encountered at Step #: (read the "What Should Happen" for this step#)
You click "join games" at the bottom, it opens the MOTD and gives me error messages.

Which Program (Community Security System/Allegiance): uh what does this mean
What Error Message: 2 errors, "Unable to connect to the zone, please try again later" and "WARNING: CFG file missing validation string"
Comments (What you tried, description, etc): I reinstalled the game 4 times, I "tried again later", I had steam validate all the files and steam didn't find anything wrong.

Hi Blaze,

Did you get this issue resolved?
If not perhaps post it on the Discord helpline forum it's much more active than this forum.
