Are Blizzard even aware that they broke something? MoP is fine but Era and Anniversary client are broken.
Yesterday I had to scan and repair + download a patch just to be able to start the game, and today its the same issue. Are we forced to Scan and Repair everytime we launch the game?
Launch game, nothing happens, have to restart PC scan and repair for 10minutes and then play.
I've logged out from bnet client and manually start .exe and fill in account/password. That worked
Thanks, will use that from now on.
I just scan and repair for 12minutes and the game launched instantly. Such convenience.
You dont need to scan and repair for full duration. i let it run 1 min then close launcher and in task manager if it shows there and start the game and wait 1-5 min then game launches
Took my game few min to open last night.
Glad to hear it wasn't just me.
Damn tought I was going crazy, I have a good pc and it takes like 2 seconds normally to open the game but the last 2 days it takes like 10-15 seconds. Glad it's not something with my PC
It's happening with MOP too
works fine for me 🤷♂️
Dang, you still on this? Lol
If you use Curse Forge try launching from that instead, worked for me yesterday
I played twice yesterday (morning and evening) and I checked my auctions this morning. I didn't get these issues. I wonder what's going on for you guys?
For me, I can't even "scan and repair" it's just grayed out. Yesterday I got it going by just pressing "play" like 10+ times on both classic and mop/cata, and lo and behold, 5-10ish minutes later it started starting all of the clients up, one after another. Jebus..
Same here, after clicking play the game somehow opens without opening, it also doesn't show any processes in Task Manager. Only fix is restarting ur entire pc.
Yeah, managed to scan and repair after a restart of pc, but nothing in task manager. So if it becomes a regular thing, kinda annoying.

Try this? I had the issue yesterday, but not today so I didn't try it. Might work
Having the same issue, game wont start for minutes but for me scan and repair are grayed out so i cant even do that
Same issue, initializing forever then downloading at 100kbps before stopping again. Reinstalled battle net and seemingly it then started but feels random.
Now my action bars removes all spells too and I have to swap back and forth specs to get the spells back
A friend of mine told me that samething happend to him, platers and addons are reset because of a "reinstall" I never reinstalled myself but the funny thing is that you will have same problem tomorrow when you login after rebooting your PC.
You either scan and repair before clicking play OR you logout of the bnet app and launch the game from x86 via the folder (wowx86, you know what I mean) and login manually like the old days with email and password.
Upgrade your PC
same issue. game takes minutes to open
have to click launch in the launcher and then wait. If you click it multiple times it will open a million instances of the game later on and crash.
