Can't get into ROB RUN? A six-step connection check
Most 'ROB RUN is down' reports turn out to be local. Work down this list in order — each step removes one layer between your PC and Kefir's servers, and each takes less than two minutes.
Check the live count first
If the status board shows six figures of players online, the game is accepting people. Your problem is local, account-side, or region-side — not a global outage.
Restart Steam completely
Quit Steam from the tray or menu, not just the window. A stuck client or a half-applied update is the single most common false 'server down'.
Verify the game files
Right-click ROB RUN in your library, open Properties, then Installed Files, and run 'Verify integrity of game files'. Let it finish before launching.
Turn off VPN and proxy routing
Datacenter IPs are frequently throttled or blocked. Test a direct connection before you change anything else.
Change DNS, then change network
Try 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8, then a phone hotspot. If the hotspot works, the problem sits between your router and your ISP.
Check Steam itself, then the feed
If the store and friends list are also failing, Steam is the outage. If everything else works, read the official announcement feed for a fresh service notice.
- Error codes starting with E- point at the client or the account, not the datacenter.
- 'Waiting for status information' is covered in its own guide.
- If your state reached seven days, being sent to prison is a wipe, not a disconnect.
