Any multiboxers having trouble logging in to the same game as your alts?
Having a weird issue that I can't figure out.

I have one main and a few alt accounts.
I can make and join games with all of them individually.
The alts can also join each other in a single game.
But my main can't join a game that my alts make. I get a "Join Failed" message on the lobby screen.
Strangely, the same happens with the reverse scenario. My alts can't join any game made by my main.
This happens in pubs too. Therefore, my alts just aren't able to interact with my main.

Worked fine yesterday before the update. The main is launched via steam and the alts are managed separately. But again, everything was fine yesterday.

Advice welcome.

Update: It seems to be an issue with launching my main from Steam. I can join my alts fine when I launch the main off Steam.

got a similar issue yesterday trying to join pubs, "join failed" and 3 seconds downtime after each fail

bnet client, no multiboxing. so most likely server side issue

Nope, everything's been updated before launching the game.
I was wrong. It was a version issue.

Yeah, maybe it will get ironed out soon.

Yes, this was it.
I mistakenly thought my alt accounts had updated in my last reply, but they only updated now and I can join games fine.
