"Roboshield account corrupted" -- what?

After signing in with Steam Account, I attempted to join a Deathmatch and twice in a row right after the screen displaying the players joining the match, I was kicked with the message

Roboshield account corrupted

Now I have an "Abandon Battle Penalty" which occurred due to something that wasn't even my fault.

I don't know if this is relevant, but my wait time is also consistently much longer than the displayed average wait time.

How can I prevent this from happening again?

Solution 1:

I found a forum post discussing this error, and two users suggests that uninstalling the game and reinstalling it should do the trick:

So, I found that when this “corruption” thing kicks in, if I uninstall the game and re-install, it works again. However. I’ve had to only re-install twice (when I had to leave a match mid-way due to an emergency...the “corruption” kicked in again).

Saw this on the support page. I uninstalled and reinstalled and it worked.

One of these users also suggested that you uninstall it and run a virus scan on your computer afterwards, and reinstall.

On the second page of the forum, a user stated that restarting the game did the trick for a little bit, until the error eventually came back. Seeing that this is an Early Access game on Steam, errors like this should be expected I would say.

Lastly you can submit a request to the development team, though don't expect any immediate results.
