Baldur’s Gate 3 “Account Suspended” error: How to fix, possible reasons, and more

Baldur’s Gate 3 players are now occasionally facing an account suspension error when they try to log into the game. The error comes with the message, “Your Account has been suspended” and then automatically crashes the game on PC or kicks players out from the main menu section.

The error has been occurring for a lot of players, and it seems to have become even more prominent after the “hotfix #1” that went live last night.

What makes it one of the most annoying errors to deal with in the RPG is the fact that there are no permanent fixes to solve the problem. However, today’s Baldur’s Gate 3 guide will go over some temporary workarounds to deal with the “Account Suspended” error.
