Is the game playing or am I kicked?

I have not been able to log into the game for the last 3 days. I kept getting red error box. I uninstalled and now it won't let me install either.

If you're asking this question, I can't help but wonder what you were doing that makes you think you might have been banned?

Banning does happen, but it has to be pretty egregious behaviour.

I recently bought Helldivers 2 and saw some comments in the reviews about people having issues with the kernel anticheat such as it being too invasive. I don't hack or anything but as soon as I install that game I get my first ever launcher issues here.

Maybe it's linked and is bugging out the launcher but hopefully nothing worse.

My initial thought, was that if you posted a pic of the red error box, it might help us find a solution for you. Does CIG let you log into the website? If so, perhaps you should do a complete uninstall, clear the trash & cache, reboot and then try a completely fresh install. Depending on your antivirus program, that might also be throwing up a blocker for the installation.

As @Talonsbane suggests, knowing what the error is would be more helpful than knowing the color the error box is.
Also, if you can log in to RSI website, making a support ticket sooner would be better than doing one later. Support can take a while to get back to you.

I will try your suggestions. I can log into my account on the website and I did a security check to make sure there was no suspicious activity.

I will do as you suggest. I don't think there was an error code. It simply said star citizen has stopped working unexpectedly, but this was before the game even launched. I will clear up files, check firewalls and all the rest etc and make a ticket this evening if still needed o7

If there's no error code and it's just a crash, then that certainly doesn't sound like a ban.

Check if you have ...\Roberts Space Industries\StarCitizen\LIVE\game.log (just 'game' if you got file extensions hidden) or anything under %appdata%\roaming\rsilauncher\logs (could also be under local instead of roaming)
If you're not proficient at reading logs, you can paste those here and I'll give it a go.

These logs might contain your windows username mind you, so before pasting them here you may want to do a quick search and replace for it if you don't want to share that.
Mentioning in case it's like your actual name or something.
