Someone please respond to this it’s something new so it has to be “some employee” who caused this issue to occur now after a year playing on the same PC…
For me partly worked taking ownership of the “Heroes of the Storm” subfolder + Full Control
(type on google “how to change ownership of folder” there is a lot of manuals in a few steps )endless patching + error windows fade away, maybe getting 1 mini freez per game but this may be fix by only Blizz… hopefully.
Exactly, its amazing how the only working solution came from some one in the forums and not the staff dedicated to the “maintenance” of the game.
Oh, and bypassing bnet not always work. Just tried and couldn’t even log in. Had to use the launcher and wait again for the ghost patch to be downloaded.
Launcher should work with no problem, its been too long to fix a simple issue.
This will probably need to be posted countless more times in the future - but what staff?
Please, people, read up. Educate yourselves. The game has no more dedicated staff. It is a part of the Classic roster of Blizzard games. There is a small team working on patching them all up. SC2 - HotS - Diablo 2- Warcraft 3.
The forums do have one or two tech support personnel, but they do not directly deal with the game nor do they have the capacity to fix things. They can only give advice or analyze your dxdiag file/traceroute like any other user.
“Educate yourselves” should be used when people are making claims out of ignorance, instead of the service provider’s fault - which is the case.
If “Kotick & Friends, Inc.” have decided that after a failed monetization scheme this game no longer receives support, that’s not enough to educate ourselves.
People have their right to express how they feel when the game they like gets ignored by a greed-ridden company that lost its soul when they signed a deal with the devil.
There’s nothing to “educate ourselves” with. Blizzard keeps selling in game skins, heroes, boosters and currency. They should provide staff enough to do proper fixing in time.
this is not fun at all, blizzard and friends better to do some with changing a completetly embarassing word “GREENSKIN” instead of fixing a balance here of ether a wow
Well it did not. I spent two days with the same issue after the last patch, the problem persisted. But yesterday they released a Battle net update that seems the have cleared the problem.
Almost a month later, well at least we all finally got the fix.
Hi,
I’ve read about another fix (more a workaround). Set the game to manual update (not auto-update). Then launch the game directly from the folder: “C:\Program Files (x86)\Heroes of the Storm\Support64\HeroesSwitcher_x64.exe”
