What happened?

When I try to open Reforged via the Launcher, I get the message:
"Reforged launch authorization was rejected (HTTP 419 <unknown status code>). The game was not launched."
Starting WoW.exe directly works fine.
I did re-install the launcher, deleted AppData stuff an logged out and back in on the website using different methods multiple times.
Everything is up-to-date.

Steps to reproduce

1. Click "Open Reforged" in the Launcher
2. Wait for verification of the game files
3. Get error message

Expected result

The game to start.

There was a database error for a upcoming launcher update which blocked launching the app.
