The came never starts, just sits at “checking for update”. I’ve restarted the game, battle.net, my PC. I deleted it and reinstalled it. Nothing works. I did play for a couple hours the other day, but have never been able to get it started since.

I am having the exact same issue. Once I got it to stop just crashing, it now just sits at “Checking for Update” until I close the game. Haven’t been able to play it in weeks.

Had same issue today and changing to different network helped.
As soon as i started Battlenet it automatically started updating
Can a Battle.net staff or Activision staff help with this badly optimized game?
Take it with a grain of salt. If it doesn’t work, that’s rough but I did something that fixed my “Checking for update” nonsense.
I forced a crash during the logging process in to MW (Game, not Client) that gave me the option to boot the game in Safe Mode. Literally booted in with it’s garbage down scaled resolution, sat for no more than 30 seconds then the game needed a restart due to update. Not sure if you can force a crash through Task Manager but I used an application called “WeMod”. Just having it open in the background closes the game without warning. Hope it helps, if it doesn’t, Suuuuuuuuuuuucked in.
Solution to this problem:
Open Task manger (ctrl + alt +del) end task named “Blizzard update agent” after closing battlenet.
Reopen the blizzard app and enjoy!
peace and love baby!
