Troubles Connecting

Hello /tg/. I've been playing on and off for a long time, but I've never bothered to make a forum account because I never really needed one. But
I've removed any foreign files from my BYOND installation folder, I've reinstalled twice now, and nothing seems to work. Are there any other folders that I might need to delete in order to connect? I'd happily do any necessary in order to connect like usual, as this problem is not only affecting /tg/station, but seemingly any server with some sort of anti-cid spoofing system. Thank you in advance.

Do you have pirated Winblows?

No I do not. Unless the company I bought my PC from pirated their copy. Is there a way to tell if that is the case?

In the bottom right of your deaktop it might say "non-genuine copy of windows" or something along those lines.

No such thing. Is it possible that if at ANY point I had a spoofed CID, the system will just flag my accounts? Or does it read the installation each time I attempt to connect? I'm not very good at programming, so I'm not sure on the specifics, but if I could understand how this works, one would have much better luck at finding a solution.

You have multiple accounts?

Yes I have a few alternate accounts. Could that be causing an issue?

I don't use any of them to play /tg/station though. They're mostly alternative accounts for when I play other BYOND games.
