Launcher stuck at initializing(1)Category: Technical SupportJuly-10-2013 9:58 AM PDT (9 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
Hello!

When starting up the launcher, it was stating "updating blizzard launcher 100%" once. Currently it's simply stuck at "initializing..".

I am running Windows XP 32bit. I have my AV disabled (F-secure 2012). Windows firewall disabled. I was able to run Internet explorer. I have restarted my computer.

The game was running fine last week. To my knowledge I've not made any software changes within that timeframe; no driver updates, no AV updates - subscription ran out 2 weeks ago.

Has there been any recent update? If there has been, am I able to manually delete downloaded files and attempt a re-download (in the case of corrupted files)?

Edit:
-- Update --

In some cases it continues to: "Updating blizzard launcher 100%" remaining stuck there.

Edit2: The issue has resolved itself. Thread can be closed or Locked. Thanks.

Hello,

Can you please make sure that you remove this folder too:
battle.net/support/article/deleting-battlenet-files

We also have had reports that simply opening Internet Explorer, then launching the game, can help get you past the 'Initializing' phase.
