Nah, the servers are slow. Already finished, it went faster at the end

Yes same for me - Slovenia. Really sad, just bought the pre-release and really wanted to try it out today :sob: :sob: :sob:

ahh ok, im still stuck at 0% initializing :frowning:

Imagine being on your 9th expansion and not being able to cope with what, by now, must be very predictable volumes of traffic. So stupid, its not even launch day!

No troubleshooting will help, you can check your logs here:
C:\ProgramData\Battle.net\Agent\Agent.xxxx\Logs

as stated before, update servers are not reachable.

Same problem here :frowning:

I hopped onto an openvpn (plenty of free ones out there) and it looks like it’s loading now.
I’m in Germany and hopped to the Netherlands. I guess they have a Region-Based CDN and you get a different Cluster this way.
May be wort a shot!

Tried but no dice, restarted the first part of the update (setting the files / etc with the 1,72 mb size) then back to initializing :frowning:

it probably looked something like this
At the board meeting someone came up with an idea let’s release 2 updates in one day then there will definitely be more players and we will be able to boast about how many players we currently have, another person but Mr. President but it will crash our basement servers and half of the players will be pissed off,
Mr President, it doesn’t matter that they’re pissed off, it’s important that they are

My download just started after a long time of initializing.
100kb/s ftw!

4Gb to go.

At first my update went fine. But after it completed it was stuck on initializing. I tried to scan and repair the game and it keeps stopping at 98% with error “Whoops! Looks like something broke. Give it another shot.” for an hour straight.

I’ve tried ending the processes on Task manager, running as administrator, pausing the download, uninstalling and reinstalling and none of them worked. I really really wanted to play a Drakthyr today.

Will we be compensated? Thanks in advance.

Absolutely not

Even when you get past initialising and it starts to update, cross your fingers for the game to even start. When you press Play nothing happens.

:rofl:

Not a single blue post either, they don’t give a :poop:

Legend - this actually kicked it off for me. Stuck at 3%

My and my wife have the same problem.

I’m having the same problem. No solutions have helped so far. Guess I’ll just try leaving it on like everyone else and hope it works after a while.

Guess I am not playing tonight unless it changes fast. Been a long day at work, stood 1,5 hours in a traffic jam on a 20 min commute and now initializing for almost an hour. Hoped to relax for a bit before going to sleep and work again…
