Is this a known issue? Status, diagnosis and what to do next.

Known? Yes, in the sense that access is gated by invitation/entitlement — this is a beta access problem, not a broken client. Check entitlement before reinstalling.

How to confirm / reproduce
- Confirm your Battle.net account actually has Forever beta access — the beta is opt-in/entitlement based.
- Fully exit and restart the Battle.net launcher so it refreshes entitlements.
- Check the launcher's Game Version dropdown lists "World of Warcraft: Forever".
- If it is listed but fails to launch, note the exact error text before trying repairs.
Official guidance
The official reveal states the beta began September 17, 2026. Blizzard has not published a public self-serve fix beyond verifying account entitlement and launcher restart.
Community workaround (not official)
Non-official: some players report the launcher only picks up entitlements after a full sign-out/sign-in cycle rather than a restart. Treat this as community advice, not a Blizzard instruction.
