Reporting Launcher Related Issue (Europe Region)

[MostlyVoid]

for me i think this is a steam related issue. when i first went to install patch 6.08, it downloaded like normally until i got an error. after that, i then had the blue login screen instead of the usual launcher. when i logged in, it says there was suspicious activity and my account was restricted. i went into my e-mail and have since reset my password, however i still cannot get on to play via the launcher.

edit: as of approximately 15:40, i have been able to link my steam account with my squenix account, and i can now get into the game. not sure of the cause nor the fix, but i know the team are working on it.
