How to Fix Error Code 7 in Diablo 4
The first cause of getting this error is running Diablo 4 through the .exe file from your installation directory. The first thing you should do is stop running Diablo 4 via the Diablo4.exe file. Instead, please run it through the Battle.NET play button. That ensures that the proper launch sequence is done.
The second cause is pure randomness (no, really) which can be resolved by a simple restart of your PC. No, the customer support “Have you tried turning it off and on again?” trope is not a joke.
The third cause is an actual login issue which can be resolved with a password reset. In order to reset your password, you can do that on the Battle.NET password reset page.
