Waiting game mode download to complete

Problem: I can only play Brawl. All other game modes are stuck with the grey button “please wait” and the text “Waiting game mode download to complete” or sometimes with the text “Game mode Disabled”

It happens since last week.

I’ve already tried the following (that I found on the forums):

  • Delete blizzard temporary files;
  • Run the apps (both blizzard and HoTS) as an admin;
  • Repair the game files;
  • Followed the connectivity troubleshooting from Blizzard (The proxy thing, the DNS thing, the Firewall exceptions thing, and all the other things);
  • Reinstalled the game;
  • Tried launching the game from my mobile 4G connection;
  • Completely disabled my anti virus and firewall;
  • And finally, I already contacted the nearest spirit healer to see if my HoTS has a ressurection cooldown.

None of this worked. Guess i’m falling out of options.

This is the WinMTR log for my region’s server:

Any thoughts on what could be the solution?

Hey,

Same problem here, however I happened to reinstall my OS.
Did you do any drastic updates yourself?

Hey JHGC666 & Mighty7,

You mentioned deleting Blizzard Temporary files… By that, do you mean you have tried Deleting the Battle.net Cache folder? This has resolved the issue for another player in the past.

Hey, I have uninstalled the game twice in the past couple of months so I could study harder for finals at my school, and every time I try to install the game again, I have to sit through half a dozen failed downloads of the HotS zip setup file from the Blizzard website. After retrying a bunch of times, it finally manages to download the setup file again, and I can reinstall the game in my computer, but I have to have some patience.

I know the problem that the problem that JHGC666 referenced isn’t really the same, but I found no other thread that resembled my own problem as well. Also, as it ends up working after a few times, I understand that you might not consider this a real problem, but I am sure some people just give up before it succeeds, so I thought this reply might be worth posting. I don’t know how to start another thread…

Summary

I have no idea how to reference the user that started this thread. I am not keeping up with technology well…
