unable to initialize streaming connecion(1)Category: Technical SupportOctober-4-2014 11:44 AM PDT (8 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
diablo 3 unable to initialize streaming connection, which is required to download, patch, repair files. please check your connection settings.

this happened about 3 months ago and i had to quit playing for about 2 weeks when it fixed itself. now i really wanna play because season, it's been 3 days already with the problem, apparently it was caused by my internet connection shut down while in-game, once the connection came back i could not open diablo again.

i did search the forums and all possible fixes didn't work (firewall block, internet settings...)

Gon,

What firewall software do you use and what steps did you take with it to ensure Diablo III is allowed?

Gon,

Could you disable or ideally uninstall AVG and then try please?

They have their own removal tool that should be used. Only do this if you know you can reinstall it again later if you wish to keep using it.
