There was an error in handling your request. 2:5

Technical Support

Hello,

I’m trying to start Warcraft III: Reforged. I can get in, but upon doing so, I get stuck in Lion Screen upon which I get the error “There was an error in handling your request. 2:5”, after which the game is asking me to log in. I’m already logged in to battle.net, from where I start the game.

Logging into the in-game screen returns the same error message again after a delay. What is causing this and how can I fix it?

With kind regards,

Geronimo

Blizzard warcraft 3 IT team.. downfall for the IT industry. Haven’t seen anything like that… being down days just shows what kind of amateurs you are.

But don’t you see what they are trying to do. They are creating the same old problems. They are not fixing anything with people leaving the game in Random Team. No Timeout. I am at 900 mmr because I have had people leave 15 times. This game is going to crash because they don’t want to spend time on it.

They are losing money now.

They are doing everything with purpose

Before, only America worked. Now none of them work. They are doing it so that people will stop, that’s clear. This is all a game they are playing.

The only that works now is Asia.
