Every time I open BNet, it tries to update WoW Live. It doesn’t need updated: It is on the latest version but this doesn’t stop BNet from trying to download something that doesn’t exist.
Normally this isn’t a problem: Usually I can hit Play regardless and game opens fine, but I’m trying to download the 11.1 PTR and now it’s waiting for Live to download this nonexistent update, and now as I’m trying to troubleshoot it’s giving me “An internal error occurred”.
Seeing as it’s actively getting worse as I try to fix it I’m going to restart and hope that works, but provided that doesn’t anyone have any suggestions? I tried verifying files and I’d really rather not reinstall as for some reason BNet downloads are limited to 4 MB/S and it should be around…100? it would take the rest of the day, and I don’t feel I need to as I was playing just a few hours ago.
It’s D:\World of Warcraft, and I forget the exact number off the top of my head but running a few speed tests have it at 100 MB/S download, with 190/200 MB/S upload. Not the fastest but good enough for my needs.
Steam echoes this and I get those speeds when using that, but Bnet just goes a lot slower and I can’t figure out why.
I did have Bnet download speed limited, can’t remember if it was me being silly or if it was by default, but even after disabling that it fluxuates between 1 MB/S and 2 MB/S. Which is why I really didn’t want to have to reinstall.
After several restarts and force closing Bnet it’s downloading PTR now and the Live client is working fine. I’m just refusing to touch it until it finishes and just watching TV until it’s done.
If your Hard drives are corrupted or you do have a history of blue screen in the past, then its the right time to get a new hard drive
ON the other Hand…
Start Update then go to task manager you’ll find battle.net Update agent, right click into open app folder
end task of Battlenet update agent then open the folder you just opened, run “Agent” app as admin and see how it goes
Your connection is likely 100 Mb, as in megabit. The launcher uses megabytes (MB). 100 megabits is 12.5 megabytes. So if the launcher caps at 4 megabytes, that’s 1/3 of your available connection, which makes perfect sense so you don’t lag doing everything else on your computer.
