Hardware warnings
At launch the client checks the processor, memory, graphics card and system. If a check fails, a window opens with one of the messages below. The window has a “Continue Anyway” button, but for AVX2 the text says outright that the game needs it, so do not expect a stable run without it.
| What the game says | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Your processor lacks AVX2 instruction support, which is required to play. Please switch to a computer with an AVX2-supported CPU. | The processor has no AVX2.

The messages are quoted from the client files (build 26509119). The “what it means” column is our reading of them.
Anti-cheat messages
ROB RUN uses Easy Anti-Cheat at kernel level, as the Steam page states. That is why launching outside Steam, overlays and some background programs cause errors.
| What the game says | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Easy Anti-Cheat is not running. Restart the game with anti-cheat enabled to play. | The game was started without the anti-cheat. | Restart the game from Steam so that Easy Anti-Cheat starts with it. |
| Failed to download the latest Easy Anti-Cheat module. Please check your internet connection and restart the game. Error code: …. | The anti-cheat module could not be downloaded. | Check the internet connection, restart the game and note the error code if it repeats. |
| Connection terminated by anti-cheat system. …. | The anti-cheat protection cut the connection; the reason is shown in the message. | Close overlays and other programs that hook into the game, then restart. If the message repeats, contact support. |
| Access is temporarily restricted by the anti-cheat system. Please try again in …. | Access is temporarily blocked by the anti-cheat. | Wait for the time shown in the message and try again. |
Linux and Steam Deck
The Steam page lists Windows 10 or newer, 64-bit, and does not mention Linux, Steam Deck or Proton. The Help Center does not mention them either (checked on 12 Nov 2026). Because the game ships with a kernel-level anti-cheat, we do not promise that it runs there. Reports from players are not confirmed, so we do not repeat them as facts.
If there is no warning but the game still crashes
Go through the settings and performance guide (mouse polling rate, overlays, page file) and look up the code in the error table.
