Hi. I haven’t played SC2 for a few years and had to switch to using the mobile app authenticator to do anything. I can log into Battle.Net and launch SC2 from there but I keep getting ‘Temporary outage of the Battle.Net service’ error despite the fact I can log into Battle.Net without problem and I can enter my password fine when prompted within SC2 itself - it then also prompts for approval from the authenticator app, which is when it claims to have a temporary outage. I have checked the latest topics and cannot see Blizzard announcing any outages at this time. Additionally, if I choose ‘offline’ mode I get a window saying I need to have the whole game installed, which I have, I need to be authenticated with Blizzard, which I’ve done with Battle.Net, and I need to have at least one account in SC2, which I must have because I’ve been playing it for years and never deleted any accounts.
I checked Win 11 settings for games allowed to run and allowed through the firewall and Blizzard launcher is listed and I specifically added the Battle.Net and Battle.Net launcher exe’s as well, but still can’t run the game.
This is very frustrating and any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
