All right, so im just playing on my merc and i decided to go to the Freeport in Bering, to get some debs.
The game was already a bit laggy when i entered Bering, something which i almost never encounter.
I dock and when i want to go to the bar to look if there is a Zoner bribe somewhere my game freezer. It says "Operation is taking longer then expected, bladibla" and that i should press escape to exit.
So, kind of wondering what it could be, press escape and i get back into the server menu. Then, of course, i tried to rejoin the game. Which does not work, its still saying that it takes longer then expected.
Then a friend of mine tells me that the server said i was a "possible" cheater. Thats when i got creeped out so i decided to restart my pc and do it again. No result.
I thought, maybe it is my internet connection or something. Nope, just fine, it loads everything the same and i dont have problems with other games.
It cant be my firewall, since i did not change anything, nor did it say anything about my firewall.
This leaves me with a big question.
How can i play again? Is this temporarily? Are other people having the same problem at this moment?
If i could get an answer or, even better, a solution i'd be very grateful.

I can't help you much, but I may clarify this part. From what I know, such messages really appear when you choose to press Escape. At least I've heard of such things before. So, I wouldn't worry about that part. Your inability to connect the server after that is the problem, though.
Eventually some problems of that kind may vanish by themselves. I had an issue when I couldn't see Discovery RP 24/7 server, whereas other servers were fine. Or, NOTHER TIME, i HAD A PROBLEM WITH LOSS, WHICH WENT UP TO 7-15%. Those fixed themselves somehow. Who knows, your problem might be of that sort.
Sorry, I doubt that I helped much. I wish you good luck with solving the problem, though.
I can only suggest you being careful when you are trying to rejoin the server and "operation is taking longer than expected". Regardless of reasons, it will most possibly trigger anicheat system that will automatically ban you after a certain number of misoperations - 15, if I remember it right.
So you may end with your account banned for cheating while you never cheated.
Also, we all experience lag and latency spikes lately for some reason, no need to worry.
Well, as for the loss, it's the sort of problem which gets solved by itself (at least that works for me). E.g, I had a loss of 15% for a week or two, then update #10 came out, and the loss returned to 1-3% and stayed at that level (Cannon said it must've been a simple coincidence, though). Personally, I treat loss as a problem that comes and goes by itself. At first I used to have no loss at all, then it went to 2-3%, then jumped to 15%, now it's better. Note: the statistics I bring here is based on several months of loss monitoring. It may or may not return to normal, but 1% is bearable (I'm playing with such loss atm).
Also, Sad has a point too (although I'm not exactly sure if such thing would cause an auto-ban). I'll be careful from now on, though.
It already caused an autoban for at least one player with connection issues.
So I suggest being careful and if the problems become serious, make this test, and post results on forum along with the breif description of what happens. If Cannon will know what the issues players experience, he'll be able to fix the server much faster, I think.
