Keep queueing
One solution people are finding is tokeep queueing into games. If you keep trying, eventually, the error may go away on its own.
You can alsotry closing out of the game and rebooting. By doing that, you can bypass any bug that existed in your current playthrough.
Check your internet connection
Next,ensure your internet connection is secure. I always recommend running an ethernet cable to your device to ensure the best quality internet. If you’re unable to do that, you may need to look intothe 10 best PC accessorieswhich includes a nifty ethernet Wi-Fi device.
Check if the servers are down
If you’re having issues, it may bebecause the servers are down.Check the server statusto make sure there aren’t any active problems that could be giving you errors.
Unlink and relink your Steam account
As a final result, I recommendunlinking and relinking your Steam accountto Embark Studios. I say you should save this as a last resort because if you do this, you’ll lose all your progress and XP (which we all know is a slow and grindy process in The Finals). However, it may be the only fix available currently as many people on Steam discussions have said this works.
Head over tothe Embark Studios website. Log in and go to connected platforms. Unlink your Steam account and then relink it.You’ll lose all your XP, but you’ll remove the Account Restricted error and keep all the credits tied to the account.
Wait for Embark Studios to fix the error
If you don’t want to lose all your The Finals progress just to fix the Account Restricted error, I don’t blame you. Instead, I recommendwaiting for Embark Studios to fix this error.
So far, they have been on top of patching bugs and errors, soit’s only a matter of timebefore they fix the Account Restricted error that’s plaguing you allowing you to get back in the game. While you wait, you might as well masterall the ways to counter invisibility in The Finals.
