Diablo 4 was unable to retrieve necessary data. Please check your connection

There is an easier way. Disable the Direct Storage using the battlenet.

Open the launcher. Click the gear cog next to the play button. Game settings. The look for additional command line arguments, click the check box to enable it.

In the box put this:

-disableds

Save, and Boom, no more deleting files to fix that problem.
