I found this reply in a different thread from a few months ago. I just now deleted all the .idx files as well as 5 data.### files that were obviously much smaller than everything else. Re-started the launcher, let it run thru the scan and fix and then loaded right into MW. Seems to have finally corrected this all day issue. Happy to solve Bliz’s problem for them really. Maybe they will take our troubleshooting and finally fix this so that it stops happening in the future. Wishful thinking Im sure. Anyway…

I tried most of the fixes in here besides a full re-install and couldn’t get anything to work when I encountered this issue tonight. After getting ready to delete my COD folder and start the download I decided to throw a hail mary. In the /Data/data folder there were 4 files named: data.261; data.262; data.263; data.264; with file sizes of 1 KB each. These looked suspicious to me as the small size looked like they may be partial downloads or logs of some sort. I deleted them and reloaded battlenet. Cod did a quick update check, downloaded ~180mb of data, and the problem with the scan and repair loop has resolved."
