Hello. Had the same happen to me yesterday and since then it still does not let me log in.
Blizzard knows about this as far as i could find (https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/cannot-log-in-until-character-boost-gear-update-complete/1632417/35)
Also it appears that all characters that are “updating” are unavailable to view through wow companion app (android version doesn’t load the character and leaves an error saying “check if you have the latest version of wow companion”)
Guess we just wait it out?
Dropping in to confirm that our engineers are currently working on this issue. While we don’t have a solution to offer quite yet, rest assured that we’re working on fixing this ASAP in order to get you all back into the game.
Sorry for the inconvenience, hoping to have more information to share with everyone soon.
PS: There is no need to open a ticket at the moment as game masters are unfortunately unable to fix this on their end, however if this were to change, I’ll be sure to update this post.
Ditto here, and because the first click did nothing, I naturally clicked all of my characters who had the button. Sheesh. It’s been 10h for me waiting now. Guess I’ll check back in the morning when I get back from work.
Found a somewhat working solution. Managed to log in by tapping escape while the character screen is loading, the key is to bring up the in-game menu right before the screen finishes loading.
Seems like if the menu is up and the character screen finishes loading in the background it loads normally and allows you to select your character, instead of going into the creation screen which you can’t get out of.
The timing is kind of awkward, but managed to log in twice after restarting the client around 10 times or so.
Had to do it twice cause I tried to log in to one of the characters I gear boosted and the problem appeared again, so don’t do that and log in to one of the characters you didn’t boost instead.
I cannot replicate this… i manage to bring the game menu but that doesn’t help…
I see the loaded menu with my chars when pressing escape, but I cannot choose anything.
Update: After trying it a couple of times, it worked… as you said… that or I just got luck
