The Finals has made its debut in the world of FPS online shooters very recently. However, just like any other multiplatform shooter, the game has issues, with the most recent one being the ‘Your Account is Restricted’ error.

This error leaves players unable to log into the game, which can be incredibly frustrating. According to the Steam Community, this error weeds from connectivity issues. Let’s take a look at how to resolve this:
