Been trying to play the game for the last 13 days since starting my subscription, and every time I try to install the game it goes through the “Initializing” loop. I’m not entirely sure what to do as I’ve stopped and restarted the installation, and then also uninstalled Battle.Net entirely. It still isn’t getting me past “Initializing.”
Are there any fixes for this?
Hey there,
If it’s getting stuck on Initializing it could indicate there’s corrupt files left over from an older install. The other versions of WoW share all of the data files as well.
Try uninstalling all versions of WoW, then manually delete the main World of Warcraft folder (by default it’s located in C:\Program Files(x86)\). After the folder is deleted restart the Battle.net app and start a new install so the folder will be recreated.
