![]() If the drive is not NTFS you would want to back up any important files from that drive, then format the drive (which will wipe ALL data from it) and select NTFS when formatting. Right-click on the secondary drive and select PropertiesĬheck the File System value, this is the file format. Opening File Explorer in Windows and on the left side expand This PC If the secondary drive is exFAT or FAT32 format you may be able to install WoW initially on it, but the game will break after a while once files are re-written and edited. ![]() Games installed through the desktop app only support NTFS file format drives (NTFS is the default for Windows C:) Since you mentioned having WoW installed on a secondary drive, can you check the file format of that drive? This would be a quick test, and if the error does still happen without any addons then you can rename the folders and restore your addons/settings. ![]() The only variable left is my add-ons, but they are all add-ons I’ve been using for years and have never had issues with.įirst thing to do would be to make sure this error isn’t being caused by addons or corrupt UI. I logged off and did other things on my PC for about 2-3 hours and when i went to launch the game again, I received the “Your World of Warcraft installation is damaged” error, to which now the launcher keeps failing the repair at about 60%. On my latest clean re-install of the launcher and WoW, the game worked perfectly fine for a few hours. ![]() WoW would work for approximately 4-6 hours, then like clockwork the launcher would request permission to make changes and it would proceed to cycle back into the scan/repair loop. It’s a small NVMe and WoW would place the drive beyond capacity.Įvery step I have taken was a band-aid. I cannot install the game onto my C drive as there simply isn’t enough space. BNet launcher is installed on C drive - game is installed on a separate internal SSD.Restarted internet before re-installing the game (again, the game works for a limited amount of time before randomly corrupting).Internet connection is pristine - hard wired to my router.Performed a clean install for both the launcher and World of Warcraft not once or twice but 5 times now.Completely uninstalled all Blizzard games + the launcher and deleted all app data & registry files I could find.I even went so far as to delete the registry entry for Blizzard Entertainment). Completely uninstalled launcher (5+ times total now, and I even found a post on another thread detailing how to clear alllllll the app data and cache.Upgrade to the beta version of the Battle.Net launcher (this was another temporary band-aid).Scan/Repair got stuck at 99% for over an hour before I gave up and switched back to my main profile. Created a secondary Admin account on my PC.Checked to see if a proxy was enabled - there was none.Ran the repair tool - I ended up in an endless loop of “whoops! looks like something broke”.Installed Malwarebytes to check for malware - none found - uninstalled it afterwards.Disable Antivirus (I don’t actually use one but I disabled Windows Defender just in case).Steps I have taken to resolve this issue : I granted it thinking it was just an update for one of the recent patches, and the chaos commenced.įirst it started with BLZBNTAGT00000BB8 errors, then it graduated to “Your World of Warcraft Installation is damaged” when launching the game. One day out of the blue, launcher asked for permissions to make changes to this PC. I’ve been struggling with this issue for a few weeks now.
