I’m still having this issue and have now tried everything I can physically think of and find. An overview of my experience;
- Tried starting the game after the 13GB update yesterday morning, when I clicked ‘play’ it says ‘playing now’ for about 10 seconds then drops straight back to ‘play’. This repeats itself over and over.
- I tried ‘scan and repair’ to fix this, which ticks up to 100%, requests for my permission to let battle.net make changes and then get ‘whoops something went wrong’ with error code BLZBNTAGT00000BB8.
- After various google adventures I found two battle.net forums with tips to fixing the issue; https://eu.battle.net/support/en/article/2667 & https://eu.battle.net/support/en/article/7655 . I have tried all of the suggestions in both of these articles with no success.
- I found myself here on this thread trawling through a lot of people experiencing the same problem as me.
- I have taken the steps to removed all *.IDX files in data on their own, didn’t work.
- I removed all *.IDX files AND 1KB files, didn’t work
- I followed a video tagged, removing all files expect data and then removing all *.IDX files AND 1KB files. This allowed the game to download again, but the ‘play’ loop continues.
- I have uninstalled battle.net twice, no change in situation
- I have cleared all battle.net and Blizzard Entertainment caches, no change
- I have uninstalled and reinstalled the entire game (84GB download), no change
- I have changed my connection to wired over wireless, no change
- I have changed my DNS settings to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 - STILL NO CHANGE
- I have added Modern Warfare to my antivirus exception list. Guess what, still no change.
I am on the verge of throwing my PC through the wall.
So many people seem to be having these issues and I haven’t seen a single comment from anyone at Activision? How do we get some relevant attention to this and a solution, we shouldn’t have to take all of these steps just to launch a game!!!
ACTIVISION PLEASE HELP
