Same has just hit me.
I have looked up Blizzard suggestion.
- Full restart. Same issue.
- Clean up of \Users\Shared\Battle.net. No.
- Remove \Users\Shared\Battle.net. No.
- Uninstall Battle.net, remove all library and cache folders/files. Download installer. Restart and install completely fresh version. No.
I can run World of Warcraft stand alone app. I can login just fine (though I assume it’s not updating). Has some combo of new OS and Blizzard update screwed something?
Note: As an update I thought I might have found the issue. Battle.net seems to update just fine other installed apps on my Mac (Hearthstone, DIII, Warcraft III, StarCraft II, Heros of the Storm) It’s just failing and asking for Admin rights with WoW and WoWC.
I investigated and found that my World of Warcraft directory had the security rights owner set to “system” and all the rest were owned by “Me”. That directory contains both versions of WoW. I set me as owner, fully uninstalled Battle.net again. Rebooted. Installed. Authenticated. Nope. Issue remains. … Damn.
Need a clue here. My next recourse will be full uninstall of WoW and WoWC and full reinstall.
