This is BS… just wondering if the event will be over before they fix this…so frustrating.
Full uninstall and reinstall with deleting all my folders got me back in to the game. If that method isn’t for you, may want to check some of the other solutions presented in other threads. Mirasol had one where you delete some kind of update folders…

I did the same. Been working fine for almost a week now… might be the only option.

Found a solution on Reddit that worked for me:
Make sure it’s not currently scanning (let it finish to where you get the error) then navigate to the World of Warcraft\Data\data folder (ex. C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\Data\data), sort by file size, then delete any 1 KB file, then start the update again. For example, I had a file named “data.100” that I deleted. The file came back after it successfully updated but everything works as it should now.

scan and repair started this for me
currently working on this myself, will update if anything besides a full reinstall fixes it
This worked for me, just had to wait forever on it to initialize the “update.”

Thank you so much. This worked in an instant and saved me many hours of re-downloading the entire game.
OMG thank you so much, Ive done every thing i could find from blizz,google,reddit and more spent hrs messing with stuff and this fixed it in under 5 min. i had 3 1kb files (Data.088, RepairMarker.PSV, and CASCRepair.MRK) removed those 3 files clicked update and it installed and launched no problem at all.

This did the trick. I had two 1KB files called “data.089” and “RepairMarker.psv” inside Data\data. I moved both to Desktop just in case. After launching BNet and redownloading those files, it worked! Thank you!

I’m not uninstalling and reinstalling the game or doing any of their other BS troubleshooting just designed to buy them time. Fix your servers Blizzard… the problem, as in 99.9999% of the other cases when the game randomly crashes and stop working after operating just fine, is YOU not the players.
Don’t ever do a re-installation when the game was previously working fine. It’s complete BS and borderline gaslighting players. It’s Blizzard that needs to fix the issue almost every single time, it’s them.
To fix the problem, I opened C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\ and deleted the Data folder, I can log in now after the blizz launcher re-initializing.
Wish I had tried that first, I uninstalled WoW and reinstalled it overnight lol
Yeah the fix appears to be just delete the Data folder from the World of Warcraft folder. When you open the Battle.net launcher again it will have you re-download the delete Data file. After that I was able to connect just fine. Something was corrupted in that folder I guess.
