Now WoW doesn't start anymore

Hi folks, now any version of the game doesn’t start anymore when I press play, they start all of them at once later and I get an error message. Can you help me please?

You can’t log into more than 1 account at the same time you get kicked and a error message, sounds like your still on a HDD and just taking long time to load?

Same issue, WoW (live) doesnt want to launch on neither of all 3 of my computers.

WoW (PTR) works as normal tho and launches, so there are no real issue going on :dracthyr_hehe_animated:

No can do, this is probably just another Warrior nerf, just on a new level :dracthyr_nod:

Oh thank god, I thought my computer was having problems.

I blame the gnomes and people complaining about not getting the SOD mount for this problem!

Ditto here. Glad it’s not just me - I use GFN, so I was worried it was at their end. Turns out it’s just Blizz being a Small Indie Company™ again.

Tried from Play several times - not working. Tried from the icon directly - same deal. Thought it was an issue from my PC.

I also had this.
Read on the net about it from two years ago.
Was some stuff they was talking about, tried -d3d11 command for when the game starts.
Didn’t work.
But what did work was holding up. I clicked and clicked and clicked… Nothing happened. Clicked off the launcher, was going to see something, and then when i reopened the launcher it suddenly started 4 instances of wow.
Apparantly this is how it was for some other guy too, some 2 years ago: He waited for ten minutes after having started the computer, and then it worked. Was the same for me, kind of.

Most likely.
Thou like Thellanah says just wait a bit and it will start (might take 10 min or so).
Just click play once to avoid it starting multiple instances.

If you

remember Dornogal Action house delays in season 1. this is the season 2 still not fixed launch wow Exe not launching properly going in to season 3

you will have to wait maybe 5min or 15min to get wow to launch due to blizzard not patching their launch but store works 120% no problem.
