This is reported by Russian media and resource availability monitoring services.
According to Russians, the problem has a pronounced geographical nature and concerns connections from the territory of the Russian Federation. In particular, in the Steam communities dedicated to the shooter Marvel Rivals, dozens of complaints about the error «Server Connection Failed». At the same time, the Detector404 platform recorded a sharp surge in reports of problems with access to the Games More Games game servers.

Some users note that basic methods for solving technical problems do not work. Restarting game clients, changing DNS servers, and checking file integrity do not give results. Some Russians write that using VPN services helped them, but others note that games do not work even with a VPN.
Gamers attribute the situation to another wave of testing of blocks or erroneous inclusion of gaming IP addresses in Roskomnadzor blacklists. Previously, due to Roskomnadzor’s actions, legitimate foreign cloud platforms, messengers and gaming services have repeatedly experienced failures in the work of the Russian Federation.
