new laptop stuck on initializing updates

Screen: Asus TUF VG32VQ1B 32' curved monitor GPU: Asus ROG Strix Radeon RX 6600 XT 8GB RAM: 32 GB Corsair Vengance LPX DDR4 3200 Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix X570-E Gaming Worth mentioning though, It updated diablo 2 resurrected, diablo 3, starcraft, starcraft 2 with no problem at all, it only happens on world of warcraft full reinstall, changing the folder permissions wont work, running the app as administrator wont work either. I’m at my Witts end and am very close to just purchasing a gaming laptop.I’m sitting at the same issue here, I left the game installing last night, after I went to all the troubles of following all the suggestions regarding how to fix the “initializing” problem, deleted all the appdata, localappdata, temp, etc related to, rebooted the pc, the router, the wifi, reinstalled app, re-logged in (it even asked me to authenticate through the mobile authenticator app), and its doing the exact same thing it did last night, its stuck on Initializing ( 0/2145581) gets to 2145581/2145581) and goes back to 0 and its an endless loop of not doing nothing.Īfter so much trouble of considering if it was worth to come back to wow, thank god I decided to install first, then go through the dragonflight purchase and the resub, if not I’d feel I’ve been scammed out of my money. I do want to add I’ve tried scan and repair tool multiple times and it also does not budge on the progress bar. Graphics: Intel Iris Plus Graphics 645 1536 MB Processor: 1.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 I’m a returning player operating of the new MacBook Pro: I spent 3+ hours just letting the launcher do its thing and NOTHING.

Each time I get any progress it I either get stuck at “initializing” or “waiting for update” and each time the progress bar does not budge. I know global download speeds are low but I have been trying to reinstall WoW for the past 2 days with no luck. I have opened a ticket with blizzard but response time via email is not the best. My original post was in the technical support forum ( Download Issue / Stuck in Initializing ) and it was suggested I come here for help with the issue.

I have tried troubleshooting with every article available for a variety of issues.
