Can't update BC classic

Randomly got dc’d from my character, tried logging in around 20 times but instant dc, could log every other character, tried unstuck but it did not work even though they teleported me.

I re-launch battle.net and get a new update that won’t install, repair does not work.

Hey Franconen,

If you get a specific error message when you try the update try clicking on it for the corresponding support article, or search for the error here: https://battle.net/support/

Otherwise you can find some general info and steps to try first here:

I’ve tried everything listed, even reinstalled wow bc classic and the blizzard launcher itself.

While trying to repair I got the message “Whoops! Looks like something broke, give it another shot”

Suddenly it started updating the client instead of repairing, and have been doing so for the past 2 hours, it just keeps going, whenever it hits 100%, there’s another one starting over from 0%.

That message should be followed by an error code as well, typically starting with BLZBNTAGT… and may give some more details about the source of the issue, though ultimately the resolution steps should be covered already in the article I linked.

Be sure to work through all of them in order, including the Advanced Troubleshooting and let us know if you run into problems with any particular step.

If you’re still getting stuck in a repair/update loop, give the steps here a try as well:

If it still doesn’t work and you need more help, please be sure to include your system files as well, either here or in a support ticket.

“BLZBNTAGT00000BB8” is indeed the error I get, I can’t even install the game, Immediate error response. I have now tried everything you suggested.

I got the exact same error code.
BLZBNTAGT00000BB8.
Exact same issue as described above.
It’s not my antivirus, there’s an exception for it. It’s not my connection, I have fiber optic and a wifi extension. Repair tool also bugs out, giving BLZBNTAGT00000BB8 (as well, had to double check that). I already run WoW off an admin account from a previous problem, that is still unresolved. I don’t run VPNs or proxies while running WoW. I ran a security scan, and as I suspected, nothing. And I couldn’t uninstall and reinstall Battlenet or the game, as it was “already running,” error code BLZBNTBTS0000005E.

I solved my issue by completely uninstalling every version of WoW including the blizzard app, and everything wow-related, then reinstalling everything in a completely new folder.

I tried everything mentioned here.

The only thing that finally worked :

  • close everything, delete /Users/shared/battle.net
  • delete Applications/World of warcraft
  • launch Battle.net launcher and reinstall game

Do not forget to backup your addons and WTF (keybinds, macro, …) folders
