Download Issue / Stuck in Initializing

Initially started out as sound issues with no sound playing through my internal speaker on my Mac. I quit the game and restarted my computer, then went to open the game as normal. The game did not launch. I followed every step on this support article https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/18769 with no luck.

I removed WoW and Battle.net application from my Mac entirely and re-downloaded however, I get stuck in “initializing” after a portion of the download completes. I spent 2 - 3 hours in this state and had 0 progress on download.

Has anyone come across this problem before?

Hi Brienanakrakr

If you worked through all the steps on that support page there may be other things to try that are Mac specific. I would ask over on the Mac Technical Forum.
