As of recently, every time I join a waw mp server (at least the populated ones), I get kicked after a few seconds. I think I accidentally banned myself. I was working on modding a retro video game before getting on, and I left some programs open including ghidra and cheat engine. Considering the timing, I assume that cheat engine got me banned. I didn't select waw or change any memory addresses in the game, so I don't know if just having it open actually got me banned or if this is just a coincidence. I've gotten no ban messages or anything, I just get kicked, so I'm wondering if instead I have missing/corrupted considering I also have some error messages in the console. Here are a few:
Error: Could not load menufile "ui_mp/patch_menus.txt".
Error: Could not load material "terrain_scorch_paintedmetal".
Error: Could not load material "terrain_scorch_player".
Error: Could not load material "terrain_scorch_tallgrass".
Error: attempted to play spatialized alias 'water_vs_pier' while there is no active listener. Most likely this means you tried to play a spatialized sound while not in a level.
Can someone give me some info on this? If I did actually get banned, is there any way to appeal this? Would the servers themselves have blacklisted me, or the whole client?
