LC-208 Login Error after Account Merge

Technical Support
1

Hello! I have been experiencing the LC 208 error after merging my accounts to BattleNet. The said accounts are PSN Serrota_, Xbox ArcadusAssassin, connected to my PC account BattleNet Serrota#2592. I am now on a PS5 if that makes any difference. Prior to merging my Xbox account to my playstation one/pc one, everything was working fine. I got into the account merge and entered the queue for a couple of days, but then started getting the login error LC-208.001. I have tried every solution, including seeing if it was my network connection, but I am sure it is an account specific problem; I tried making another battle net account to see if it was something that could’ve been on my end, but I was able to login to the game on a different battle net account. I also tried logging in on a PC, which didn’t work either. It must be a problem with my account or the merge causing the error. I filed a ticket on the BattleNet support and the Better Business Bureau but it has not been resolved. All they have said is that the issue has been ‘escalated’ and there is no ETA for when it will be fixed, which I do not find the most reassuring.

I played and have supported Overwatch 1 since launch on my xbox account, the same with my playstation one. Even when unlinking my xbox account, I cannot access the game and receive the same code. I would really like for this issue to be resolved because of the amount of time and money I have spent… I have bought the game at 60 dollars 3 times before it was free (PC, xbox and PS4), combined with purchased cosmetics on these accounts. I am now not even able to access the game, and this is worsened by the additional concern that I have lost all my years of cosmetics, progress and money.

I just wanted to know if anyone else has been experiencing this still, or if Blizzard is working on fixing this? Are all my progress and cosmetics completely gone? Most of the posts I see regarding this are from 1-2 years ago, and the issue did not resolve after the most recent update (I have been unable to login for 3 weeks). Please let me know what can be done, or if this is being worked on.

Hey so I was just logging onto a very very old account I had from Overwatch 1 as well. I haven’t touched it in around 5 years and I just merged my account. Was very frustrating having to wait 3 hours for my “Migration Queue” resetting back to the 1500+ counter and then coming back the next day to see my account also in this position. I’m also currently experiencing this issue and it’s not very reassuring to have my issue “escalated” to no avail.

This is the same thing that happened to me and Blizzards support team is worthless they said they escalated mine too. They probably don’t even care since they can’t even get real people to talk to us about it. I don’t get why this problem isn’t getting fixed I have played since the game came out can we not get a gm in here to reassure us about this problem!?
