Still get erorr after 30 seconds of the lion screen. Using rogers mobile hotspot on my iphne 16 pro max. anyone have any suggestions?
tried Rogers 5x for many hours reset my connection and said they upgraded my support ticket… nothing. Apple said everything checks out on their end. I have been playing wc3 since the iphone 3 and even on 3g, 3G+, LTE, HSPA, 5G and 5G+ up till my iphone 14 pro max all games have always worked. since i got the 16 pro max i cannot login past the lion screen. even on the battlenet screen the ads wont load. if i try to purchase anything on the app on my laptop it wont even load.
kicker is world of warcraft loads up and logs in fine. FOrtnite also will not let me login the same as wc3. Ive tried uninstalling, reinstalling wiping my phone and not evben restoring and trying hotspot, different sims, switched to e-sim… same thing. Tried hotspot on my wifes iphone 15 (same Rogers network) and it works. Is it the 16 pro max? i read some stuff about ipv6 but i dont know much about that. Home on wifi everything works the same
ANy ideas or suggestions are welcome at this point 7 months later… Ready to give the phone back and go android for the first time.
Probably the iPhone 16 doing something incompatible with bnet. Could report to Apple as well and wait for a software update.
A quick workaround that could work without too much effort is to setup some VPN on the gaming host.
Im playing with ipv6 enabled for what its worth but it may fallback to ipv4 properly. No problems with cellular through hotspot but not an iPhone 16.
Hope it helps

Just FYI, XYZ other game working fine doesn’t mean you don’t have a problem. Some games can deal with technical issues better or are more tolerant of latency/packet loss than others. All saying another game works tells us is that you do still have working internet. How well its working is another matter.
In general, you want wired network if at all possible, and a well configured wifi router if not. Tethering a phone introduces a lot of potential issues.

Still trying. Wiped the drives and reinstalled windows. Still wont load past the lion screen i get error 6:9 . Same issue with fortnite… just wont login on the hotspot. Speed isnt an issue im getting5G+ full bars. For context… i have been playing wc3 tft on al laptop since the iphone 3 and back then it was 3G speeds… no problems. Its either a Rogers issue or an iphone 16 Pro max issue.
