Launch the game fine and get to the character select screen. Without fail, whatever character I select will give me a Pardon our Dust when I reach the orbit screen. It will then give me a second 'Pardon our Dust' message and return me to the title screen. I assumed it was just maintenance globally (there is maintenance but it's backend - unrelated). I ask 5 other people and not one of them has this issue. I've tried to troubleshoot it myself with the following methods:
- Restart game
- Restart router/internet
- Use a VPN
- Verify game files
Edit: After the update, I got two error codes (Chicken and then Weasel). I launched again and got into the game finally.

Hello, I had this issue for a little while as well. When I first got the message, I was on Stadia. Then when I went to Xbox, it kept bringing up "Pardon Our Dust". I ended up re-launching the Stadia version, which started up just fine. I logged off then went back to Xbox and haven't had any problems since. Hopefully this works for you, too.
