I keep getting an error message that says that there is a temporary outage when trying to launch the game in the North American server. I have given access through my firewall with no change. I have found multiple posts on reddit and in this forum regarding this error message, but there seems to be no fix. Please address this issue
go here to this post there is a fix, your internet permissions need enabled.
You keep posting this everywhere, but it is not an actual fix for everyone. I have tried all of this with no change in behavior on my end.
listen if you dont like what i post tuff, im only trying to help people, if you want blizzards help, go enter a support ticket. this is the forums, you are posting to other players. if you dont want peoples help dont post in the forums.
secondly, if its helping others, but just not you, then shouldnt we still suggest for others to try this to help them or would you prefer we just not say anything at all and leave other people screwed just cause you still are.
when I said that I allowed it through windows firewall, that is what “enabling internet permissions” means
For the love of christ, STOP SPAMMING THIS EVERYWHERE. I, and many others, have tried this. It doesn’t work. There’s an ACTUAL issue, and I’m tired of the strawman “It’s on your side not Blizzard’s” crap when it’s happening to multiple people, no fixes work, and those people live in different states with different isps.
bla bla bla, its working for other people so take a chill pill, others still need to know, now go cry to mommy some more.
Please leave me alone. You’re harassing me and I don’t like it.
you started this, if you dont like getting in you shouldnt try to dish it out
I found a solution that worked for me. I was able to login to EU but not to NA, tried the other firewall fixes, clearing cache solutions, nothing worked. Found this in a reddit post(Thanks to BabyYoda1408 on reddit).
In windows go to Windows Firewall and Network Protection, then “Allow an App through Firewall”, then “Allow another App”. Next hit browse and go to your SC2 folder(mine was C:\Program Files (x86)\StarCraft II) and select the Starcraft2.exe from here. Hit network types and select both public and private(you don’t need to select both if you know which network you have). Finally press Add.
Tried every other solution I could find on this topic, this is the one that finally worked. I hope it helps.
Thank you! That worked for me! Hopefully, it helps others as well
