Read this https://forum.plutonium.pw/topic/32250/an-update-on-game-ownership-verification, I have a feeling you are struggling to read the brief error message and what others have told you so far, so I recommend reading the above post very slowly.

Smudge62 7 days here means 7 full days aka 24 hours*7

Fully reinstalled plutonium for my client (client was corrupted I guess). The server was just fine

@Importation ?

Xerxes I was running older server files that didn't include the new fixes and couldn't find anything on forums or discord about them, so I apologize.

I am having the same issue.

I never touched the ranked.gsc file, yet players seem to be kicked due to AFK fairly quickly.

Plutonium doesn't provide game files.

I never said you would get a server key, since that won't be possible.
You don't need a server key to host a server, however all features that depend on it won't work.

I'll give it a try
IW4MAdmin don't seem to work on my end so I'll try with the map vote

VZLAxSmoke knr9

wait so thats all i gotta do

Well, normally that name was from a friend who had a server with me, I am the owner of the vzla server and if I had ddos problems, the only way to solve that is to look for a provider with good ddos protection and I know who the crazy person is who copied your names.

There are a lot of ways to do that depending on the end goal. You can use what was sent above or an IW4MAdmin plugin called DynamicReservoir or use a mapvote like mine

Keep trying until it works or host opens the port on his router to make it work reliably all the time like our doc explains
