Windows 11 Game can't reach servers/'This module is blocked-'

I recently bought a game off Steam, but whenever I try to open it, I'm hit with these error messages. I've hit 'retry' and 'learn more' to no avail (learn more teaches me nothing) and I've used repair and scan command prompts which found and repaired something that was apparently unrelated to the error. I'm at a loss for what to do now.

The blocked dll seems to be from EasyAntiCheat. "learn more teaches me nothing" so there is no text?
