Battle.net app keeps initializing and reclaiming disc space for WoW

The problem is still there. I saw the flag on bnet where they said they were aware of the issue, but they have removed it so in case they think it’s fixed, it is not.

it is seems it fixed

I still have the same issue, though with the Hearthstone Client.

Still not working for me. Did you do anything to fix it?

I did not do anything. I opened the app and it start to update with a small patch.

this STILL hasnt been fixed over a week since it started! come on blizzard this is terrible customer service!!!

Change the App version from Beta to Standard or vice versa. Worked for me.

I cannot believe the silence on blizzards part with this?! how much money do you get from our subscriptions?! people have taken time off work to enjoy a new launch and again you seem to mess it up.

They aren’t silent. They just aren’t answering every single individual post with the same information that they have already stated in the thread.

They will only post if the information they have changes.

Stopped doing it for me (I’m on the beta launcher and have been the whole time) .

That would be the ideal case.
But that simply is not transparent enough. Without any kind of feedback we don’t know if they are working on it, or if they think it is fixed.
They removed the ribbon, indicating they are aware of and working on the issue, in the Battle-Net App after all…

Guys, I really needed to share this with all my fellow MAC users Cus this actually worked for me, and believe me I’ve been frigging faffing about for the past week with these “fixes” people have been on about in absolute desperation!!!

Try this:

  1. Open applications and right click on the World of Warcraft folder
  2. Click “get info”, click the padlock to unlock
  3. Even though under Sharing & Permissions I know it will probs already say you have “read & write” permissions, click on on read & write on ur user, then just under the box, by the + & - there will be three dots in a circle, click it, click “apply to enclosed items”.
  4. Open battle net and click update, it should start fetching the patch and apply it within about 30 seconds.

I know some people might still have issues and this might not work, but after losing my mind all week this actually worked instantly for me! Let me know if it works for you guys :relaxed:

It hasn’t done it for a couple of days for me. Maybe it is fixed idk.

I haven’t been able to log in for almost a week. Kept updating and I tried to reinstall the App but now it won’t let me reinstall that either.

Likewise. This is getting quite frustrating.
Is there no way to do a manual Update or something? It appears to be some sort of error in the Update wizard.
I have a Windows system by the way, so Ildora’s tip is no help either… thanks though.

Happens to me as well, started maybe a week ago, very annoying. I have like 6 or 7 games installed and they take turns updating (WoW + Classic, Diablo 3, Starcraft 2, HotS, Hearthstone)

I still have the same issue

If you haven’t already try switching to the Beta client. It is not happening for me at all and has not for 2-3 days now on the Beta Battle.net client.

Hope that helps.

still doesn’t work for me unfortunately.

Oh well, worth a try. Strange it seems fixed for some (never happened for others) and is still causing problems for the rest.
