I’ve been getting endless repair scans whenever I log out and exit the game, or get disconnected. This started the week of March 17 maintenance period. I remember the keystone I was running with some guildies, when the issue first started, and I looked up the date.
It started out fairly rare, maybe once or twice a week, but this past week it’s been a non stop issue and as of today I can’t even play the game.
The scanning files notification will pop up, and sometimes it will be nearly done, and restart itself. Occasionally when it finishes, it will download ~400 some odd megabytes of data, then I can play. Usually wastes 15-30 minutes of time running this twice for whatever reason.
This afternoon after fighting it for about 90 minutes, it stopped even scanning. It just throws out a BLZBNTAGT00000BB8 error code endlessly as of 4PM PST.
Steps I’ve taken:
Removed Interface fold. No change.
Removed WTF folder. No change.
Deleted Cache folder. No change.
Uninstalled Battle.net completely and wiped all associated files (instructions found on these forums), then reinstalled it. No change.
Deleted all .IDX files from Data folder to purposely break the game and force it to update them (instructions found on these forums). No change.
Double checked I was running as Administrator. I was. No change.
Checked the shortcut Administrator settings. Set correctly. No change.
Manually launched as ‘Run as Administrator’ to be safe. No change.
Created an entirely new Administrator account on my PC. No change.
Manually launching game. When it’s not the basic ‘your files are damaged, please run repair’, I get this giant wall of text:

I found this command line ‘-uid wow_engb’ while searching for solutions Friday, which enabled me to play this weekend without any issues, but it stopped working as of today. No idea why.
