Welcome to CASC. this has been a bug for all casc games for a long time. it now affects Diablo (2.2.0 and later). Wow 6.0 and later. Heroes of the storm.
Only a matter of time before SC2 and hearthstone switch to casc and gain the bug too.
It is mac only, and was a "known issue" like a year ago but since it's a mac issue, low priority unless it's game breaking. This isn't game breaking, just a grave annoyance. My Wow Updates 2-3x a day. By updates, I mean reconfigures indices, and downloads about 15mb patch file over and over again. Same file, same md5. Just over and over again. I got to point i set ANY and all games that are casc to manual updates only, so at the very least, they only update when i play them (after clicking update, as you do). vs letting them automatically patch themselves pointlessly multiple times a day, every day.
This is a bug with server configuration as far as i can tell. The server updates the configuration file, and our clients think there is an update as a result of it. The server update configuration at least twice a day from what I see. I have currently found no way to avoid bug. locking files breaks launcher. bypassing launcher doesn't fix it either, because the game binaries themselves are coded to check same configuration file on launch and if THEY see the false update, will either download it themselves, or exit and tell you to open launcher first. I've tried blocking the url to update server, and the applications refuse to open or connect if they cannot check for updates.

| It's ridiculously annoying, I don't know what's going on but it's started over the last week and a half. Before I used to log in to battle.net, hit the Diablo 3 icon and click "Play" and play the game. Now every single time I log into the battle.net application, no matter what I do, the game says "Update" it takes about 3-4 minutes to do each time. It plays right after, but it's frustrating because the computer or client never ever recognizes that I've clicked the update and "updated" it a million times before.

| Hello xShizzy, Would it be possible for you to gather and send us a copy of your Battle.net Logs? It will help us to better understand the cause of the issue. This may not result in an immediate fix for your individual issue, but it will go directly towards getting this sort of issue fixed in general. That being said, if we can find anything in your logs that will help us to better troubleshoot your issue, we will do so.
2. In Finder, navigate to your user account Downloads (~/Downloads) directory and double-click the archive to extract LogGoblin. 3. Run LogGoblin and give it a few minutes to gather your Battle.net logs. 4. A zip file named BlizzardLogs-[YYYY-MM-DD].[HHMMSS].zip, which contains all of your log files, was created at the location shown in the Terminal window. 5. Exit Terminal. Once the .zip file is created, please email it to toolsupport@blizzard.com with the title [D3][Patch][xShizzy #1983][Diablo 3 always needs to update.][17346285052]. Thank you! ________________________________________________ Rate me! https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Velnrak "They say the oaks are just too lofty And they grab up all the light." | ||
