Just re-installed the game, but the game instantly shuts down after the server selection screen, giving the following error:
ERROR #2104222928 (0000000000) File I/O error.
After this, the game wont boot anymore, giving the following message:
Your World of Warcraft installation is damaged. To learn how to repair it,
After which, i tried repairing the game through the tool, as suggested: However, this brings up the following error message:
" Whoops, looks like something broke" with URL leading to error BLZBNTAGT00000BB8
Edit: When i boot it up now, i get the message " Game Initialisation Failed: I"
Currently tried the following (potential) solutions:
Reboot the PC
Double-and triple check the connection
Re-install World of Warcraft
Re-install Battle.net
Again Re-install World of Warcraft
Disable Anti-virus
De-install Anti-virus
I’m currently completely out of ideas, and i hope someone in here is able to help me.
This is just a guess, but that sounds like either a file permissions problem, the file can’t be read from or written to. Or maybe even a file corruption problem which may be indicative of an underlying drive problem.
I semi-figured that too, so i reinstalled a couple of times, but i doubt the same file’ll get corrupted multiple times.
This kind of error can indicate that your system was unable to properly communicate with a device. In this case, it would likely be where your game is stored. Do you have your WoW installation on a PC/Laptop’s internal HDD/SSD (C drive etc) or do you have it running from an external drive? If it is on an external, that may be part of the issue and it would be recommended to move the client to one of your internal drives if possible.
For the “Game Initialization Failed” error, please try the steps here.
I’m not using any external hard drives. The install path to WoW is an internal one. I could try to install on the main drive (c:)
Problems have been solved by installing on main drive. Thanks, Xorthonuus!!!
P.S: For anyone who has the same problem, install on your main drive, the one that has windows, not any others!
