If you’re not interested in how i found the fix, scroll down to ‘’(THE FIX)’’ to see what actually fixed the problem.
So my patch worked perfectly fine up until the end of the update, it slowed down and stopped working completely. I looked for fixes for 4 days straight, but nothing worked.
I went back and forth with Blizzard support and the problem still remained, but we came to the conclusion that packet loss might have been what was causing the problem. Which lead to me contacting my internet provider who told me to run different commands in ‘‘CMD’’, and one of these commands is what fixed it for me.
(THE FIX)
I typed ‘‘ping (my ip)’’, enter, and then voilà my game got patched.
‘‘The ping command helps determine TCP/IP networks IP address, as well as issues with the network and assists in resolving them.’’
Hope this helps anyone!
