Same. For a few days now.

The irritating inconvenience Iām running into with their āsolutionā is that if I leave both bnet launchers up/active and close out of both wow sessions, the next time I press āplayā on the two individual launchers, it attempts to launch two sessions of wow using only the first account I pressed play on. Thus pressing play on the 2nd launcher simply disconnects the first session when it loads up the same account again.
To be clear, if I press play on 1, it launches 1ā¦ then press play on 2 and it launches 1 again. Conversely, if I press 2 first, it actually launches 2ā¦ but then press play on 1 it launches 2 again. Each launcher has the different account name at the top right so I really donāt understand WHY itās choosing to launch this way. ā Anyone else seeing these same results keeping two bnet launchers running with two separate accounts?
The only solution Iāve found is to close the second bnet launcher, starting a session on my main account. Then after the first account has launched wow, I launch a second copy of bnet using my second account credentials and THEN it will launch wow on the proper account.
I donāt understand how they could be so stumped, it started in concert with the maintenance so they at least know where they should begin to look.

Interesting. A 15MB patch just happened and now itās being reported on a different thread that you can once again log in using the executable. ā Tested just now and I was able to launch my 2nd account using the executable again.
I pay for a service. I donāt need to be āgratefulā that they let me use their service. If they remove that element of their service, I will definitely reconsider whether I pay multiple subscriptions to their service.
Therefore itās in their best interest to fix the service, instead of expecting fanbois on copium to play defense for them.

Confirmed I can login again from the wow.exe (though one of the weird side effects of having multiple battle.net launchers open is they ALL tried to patch it and caused issues. I had to close all but 1 to get the patch to go through).

Still not working at this end (Burning Crusade, Mac), with no update available. It seems odd that it would need a client-side update since it was a server-side change that broke it, but maybe theyāre rolling them out version by version (I think there are six different executables in total).

Yeah it was definitely a client update. As I tested it before I logged completely out and it didnāt work. But as soon as I fully logged out and let it update the client, was working again. Iām on 9.1.5.42010 now.

Hi Iron ā this is not correct unfortunately. This is happening to me no matter what I do, UNLESS I entirely remove the authenticator. No other workaround works. This issue persists across multiple machines, and only impacts one of my two accounts ā both accounts share the same authenticator. Hope that helps. Please fix.

Same here, ages ago I ended up with three battle net IDās for 5 accounts, had nephews spnding the night an granma an granpas house, so it grew from 3 accounts to 5 so my Dad and I could play too when they were here.

This TBH ^^
Yeah, itās strange. The two games are supposedly built from the same codebase, so youād think that a fix to one could easily be applied to the other.
