 | Diablo 3 cannot connect to the internet(1) | Category: Technical SupportJuly-22-2013 1:24 PM PDT (9 years ago)  |
| I haven't played for a while and I decided to start up again. Whenever I attempt to load the game I get an error message that says "Failed to download a required file. Please check your internet connection and try again." I made sure to run as admin, I allowed all the necessary ports access in my firewall, I updated all my Windows 7 files, I even rebooted my modem and router and still get this message. Is there another way to fix this problem that I have missed? EDIT: I tried to run World of Warcraft: Mist of Pandaria and I had no problems with it. | ||

| Nian, If you're using an internet security application like an Anti Virus program, try temporarily disabling it while the game starts and tries to update. If World of Warcraft is working for you, that eliminates quite a bit as a lot is shared between the games as far as connecting goes, but an AV program could still be exclusively blocking an update in Diablo III. _________________________________________________________ I'm available in the forums Monday - Friday, 12 pm - 8 pm Pacific Time Please provide feedback! - https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Omrakos | ||

| Nian, No, turning it off won't cause any problems with connecting. Leaving it on and misconfigured could though. Try this: Create a new Windows User account and add it to the administrator group. Then log off of Windows and back on with the new user account and then try the game again. _________________________________________________________ I'm available in the forums Monday - Friday, 12 pm - 8 pm Pacific Time Please provide feedback! - https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Omrakos | ||

| Nian, Are you sure you've logged into World of Warcraft? It appears the last access for the Battle.net account you're posting from was last January? _________________________________________________________ I'm available in the forums Monday - Friday, 12 pm - 8 pm Pacific Time Please provide feedback! - https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Omrakos | ||
