• EDIT: It seems Rookie is currently down, the latest server with password ending in "0hS" currently isn't working for others as well. This is likely the cause.
• EDIT: NEW ROOKIE UPDATE! Everything is fine

I have read all the pinned posts and i have searched the megathread.

Tried Rookie for the first time today, everything was smooth until I accidentally tried uninstalling a game while installing, it crashed all of my downloads.
I restarted both my PC and Quest 3, fully deleted the C:\RSL folder and reinstalled both the Rookie exe and public.json file.
Now it doesn't want to connect to the server at all no matter how many uninstall reinstalls, internet disconnecting, and restarting.

Here is a debug log of what my Rookie went through, help would be greatly appreciated.
