well thats weird, launching the wow.exe from the retail directory bypasses it, it almost immediately stops initialising while launching the game, and game runs fine, no wrong version errors or anything. Seems its on Blizz’s back end
C:\Program Files (x86)\World Of Warcraft_retail_
Blizzard seems to be getting hacked or something ATM. None of there game servers are online. I log on and it says " No Servers are currently available ( blz51934200)
On Moonglade here and its fine. Just bypass the battle.net app by launching the .exe if its stuck initialising
This worked for me , many thanks
Same issue here.
edit: And now WoW doesn’t launch even with the .exe file in the retail folder.
edit2: WoW is getting run as a background process now for some reason? What.
So I got this issue after logging off. The retail game started updating and stuck.
Tried to repair - stuck. Rebooted PC. Re-installed Battle net app, checked other games for updates - worked well. Tried to launch classic Wrath, got to the character screen, pretty ok. Updated beta and PTR - ok.
Went back to retail, and it is still the same. Tried to uninstall it. Stuck. Deleted manually, same. Deleted the data folder and the launcher now trying to download it through the PTR but retails is pretty much in the same state. Whoa.

The app dismissed the update for me. I did try to turn my antivirus down for a time but I don’t know if that was the problem or if it’s a coincidence.
Same endless loop. Repair → “Oops, smth has broken - BLZBNTAGT00000BB8” → Repair-> “Oops, smth has broken - BLZBNTAGT00000BB8” and go on. On both retail and classic.
Deleting folders from C:Program Data didnt help.
Here is an update.
It helped me by manually deleting the whole data folder and most of the retail.
Then re-downloading all of that. Took some time of course, but it is finally working.
Hm, seems the client can install the game on HDD, but if the game is on SSD - insta error, “smth happened”, etc. How to fix it, blizz?
Quoted from Jambix, what’s not noted is disabling sensitive AV that can sometimes disable files from executing or patching properly.
The Battle.net app should be working properly now, but if the problem caused your WoW install to become corrupted that may still be an issue.
Sometimes the game data can get into a state where the Scan and Repair function can not repair the data. Since all versions of WoW share the same data if one version of WoW gets corrupted it can affect all versions of WoW that you have installed.
If you haven’t already make sure to restart the PC and Battle.net app. Restarting will clear any stuck processes.
If the Scan and Repair isn’t working or if it’s looping, the best thing to do in this kind of situation would be to completely uninstall ALL versions of WoW through the Battle.net app. Feel free to make a backup copy of your Interface and WTF folders if you have addons setup that you want to keep after reinstalling.
Once it’s all uninstalled go in via File Explorer and manually delete the entire World of Warcraft folder (default location is C:\Program Files(x86)\World of Warcraft) before reinstalling the game one version at a time. It’s important to manually delete the folder before reinstalling, so that you don’t reinstall on top of any corrupt game data from the broken install.

Closing and re-opening Bnet fixed it for me… But then… it was sat there for 4 hours, so it’s a bit long to wait and find out.
Happened to me as well last night; today it got fixed on its own, didn’t try any of the methods so whatever happened was on Blizzard’s end.
It’s not the first time this happens either.
I am stuck at 0% as well, but the .exe approach doesn’t seem to work. In the task manager it just stays at “very low” 0,1 usage and doesn’t load up at all.
If I click the Update option in bnet myself, it gives me this error after a while:
We’re having a problem transferring data. Please check your internet connection just in case and try again.

WotLK behaves the same. Wish I could play man, it was a long day at work(
We’ve updated the post with additional information from the US side, but it could take a lengthy resolve.
Make sure to try and restart the Battle.net app first/restarting PC first since that did help the previous posters in most cases, a problem could also be sensitive AV.

Nothing works. Spent the little free time I had by aimlessely reinstalling the client and trying to get it to work.
Must be from their end. Was fine until today. I made a ticket with system info, will see what comes out of it.
