Fail to launch after upgrading to Windows 8(1)Category: Technical SupportJuly-31-2013 11:39 AM PDT (9 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
I'm having problems launching the game after upgrading to Windows 8. After clicking play on the launcher it crashes right away with the following displayed in the error log

This application has encountered a critical error:

ERROR #1 (0x13370001) Fatal Exception
Program: C:\ProgramData\Battle.net\Client\Blizzard Launcher.1995\Blizzard Launcher.exe

The instruction at "0x017FFD20" referenced memory at "0x8D580000".
The memory could not be written.


I also have the same problem with Starcraft 2, these are the only games that have been having problems. I've tried reinstalling the the Blizzard Launcher and upgraded my video drivers etc.

Can anyone help me please?

This issue can sometimes occur due to corrupted Battle.net tools files. Lets try deleting those files, so that they can be redownloaded.

Check out this support article for steps on how to do that:

Deleting Battle.net Files

Let me know what happens.

Was the new account that was created after upgrading to Windows 8 and admin account? It sounds like it might not have been, that's why running the game from the old admin account helped.

You can also try running the game as an admin by right clicking on the launcher icon and selecting "Run as admin".
