Nothing is working. It just loops to “Initializing (2129194/2129194)…”
Updating other games works fine. I’m installing retail right as I type.
Hey guys, I also had this issue and my friend found the solution on a 5 year old Reddit post regarding Destiny 2.
Once your install gets to the point where it gets stuck, cut the World of Warcraft folder from the drive you’re trying to install it on and paste it to the desktop. The download will stop. Paste that same file you cut back into the intended drive and restart the download.
I have been debugging this all evening. I have tried all the steps others have given, and I found the Agent in bnet is repeatedly crashing and restarting. I opened a thread here with a crashlog.
If you want to check your crash logs for the same, they can be found here: C:\ProgramData\Battle.net\Agent\Agent.8022\Errors
