WoW download stuck on "initializing"

why they do not send this update files to instal it manualy

Just adding to the other mentioned - “use a vpn and set americas” I use windscribe so signed into americas on bnet and then set New York “Gotham”

Worked straight away

I am on 3% for like one our :smiley: so …

Just tried the VPN Method via Hong Kong and finally got the download to start. (Used Windscribe free VPN)

Solved here after three or so hours. I downloaded some random Free VPN service and switched my location (Czechia) to US New York. It downloaded all files in five minutes. I am in the game right now, thank you all above for helping with this issue. :slight_smile:

Soooooo Jealous…

“Allow multiple instances for Battle.net” did unstuck me, but still not sure i will be able to launch a game.

Work in progress will reply after i see what happens now! :slight_smile:
LOL

Literally same situation! this is maddening.

my game was working but i was getting Lua errors for blizzard addons so i thought maybe i should scan & repair and the issues you said started happening…

Hopped to Asian server, managed to DL it in 1hr roughly

Thank you to whoever suggested the free VPN “Windscribe” i exited bnet, changed windscribe server to Honk Konk and logged into my account via the America region an it actually started downloading straight away, again thank you

Nope stuck at initialising again after one update of 1,7mb!

What region did you log in as for Battle.net? I’m on Asia.

Got ProtoVPN as well, selected Japan, still stuck on Initializing.

Help please, where do you do those VPN changes?!

wait more than a min and don’t hit pause, don’t restart bnet again, just don’t touch anything after switching region. I didn’t even have to use vpn, just followed blue post (it was still stuck after that for like 10 mins and then started to download slow at 200KB/s, but it did work). With some extra troubleshooting due to impatience and not letting it download fully (my bad) I was online in 30 mins after having switched region in bnet.

Hopped on a VPn to Hong Kong then it worked as I expect.

Dont get why Blizzard is releasing Warzone2 and WoW at the same time… why you willing to rip your server?
