If you’re seeing an ‘Account Restricted’ error, the developers know about it and are working on a fix. This error message can be alarming, stating you can’t access online features and displaying a long number sequence starting with 1:86001S. But if you haven’t done anything to violate the terms of service, there’s likely a simple solution.
