after having large issues with war craft not updating and getting stuck on “initializing” i have followed all the advise from the Blizzard support pages and finally “uninstalled” Battle net and then downloaded the Battle net d/l. now i am stuck with Battle net not installing. I have tried to install as Administrator and it still fails. it starts then stops at 45% and errors. – Whoops! Looks like something broke. We’ll try to fix it, so please try again later.
Error Code : BLZBNTAGT000008FC
please help or i may as well cancel my subscription for a game i can no longer play.
no solution as yet. tried cleaning PC and removing all games and Battle net. copied files over from a good working PC and even though the games are updated files the battle net will still not work.
battle net still trying to update even though they don’t need updating and so still cant play.
still stuck on initialising
does Desktop app Tech support actually read and respond to these ?
Same situation intially, though when I’m installing from battlenet-setup.ext I get to roughly 84% then that drops to aboug 63%, then pings continually between those numbers, like it is resetting the install every time. This has continued overnight the initial time. I’ve followed ever suggestion for even tangentially related issues. Hoping for some help.
Just sharing, I was able to identify the issue and get everything moving again. Identified potential Win 11 issue when attempting to start a ticket, I was unable to get system information. Seemed a missing Windows Management file was the isssue. Went to setting → recovery → selected the option to reinstall current version of WIN 11. Still kept firewall turned off during attempt at install and cleared out all Blizzard and Battlenet files before successful install, but I suspect the WIN repair was the thing.
Hello! Same issue here: “Whoops! Looks like something broke. We’ll try to fix it, please try again later. More help: BLZBNTAGT000008FC”. I am on Win 10, can anyone please help?
Can confirm! I tried every other solution, like %APPDATA% and other folders cleaning, removing firewalls, and nothing but WMI seemed to help! Cant tell if it was a mix of those things or was it only WMI repository needing reset but it totally helped. Thank you! Shame blizzard wasn’t as quick with responses tho lol
i had this and no clue how i did it but it finally worked but now all i gets oops battlenet went to sleep.Follow everything they tell me to do and if i close the app it just comes back.Cant update or play any games for 4 days now this is beyond a joke.
So tech support got back to me and their “fix” was to send me a link to do all the stuff i told them i had already tried.Just reinstalled windows as a last shot and i am back in the game
