Patching: "No valid or active service account is available to play"?

Because you aren't authorized to DL the patch until your account is authorized to play. You will likely have to wait until 8/27 @ 2AM PST to update.

Confusing still; Early Access has not begun so no one is authorized to play at this point yet.

That is incorrect. the Patch Client is authorized to patch for those with access to the Early Access. The Lobby is rejecting play allowance, but the Patch Client is authorized to patch for those with proper access.

Correct, but those of us that are allowed to being playing at Early Access need to be updated and ready to go. Since you don't have access til the 27th, there is no reason for you to be updating and taking bandwidth from those that do need it right now!

Thanks all, makes sense.
