Game Install Stuck on Initializing

I managed to finally get the game to fully install after trying a couple suggestions in conjunction with each other.

The steps that worked for me was as follows:

  • Make sure auto-update is disabled on your Battle.net launcher

  • Close any process related to Steam and Discord

  • Temporarily disable anti-virus/malware (in my case I disabled Kaspersky)

  • Restart the Battle.net launcher after you have done these 3 things

I had tried all of these things individually, which did not work, but I was finally able to install after doing all 3 together. Hope this helps.

Thanks to Angelluus and Gelebor for giving me the idea to close Steam and Discord
