Frequently Asked Questions
Login issues may be caused by credential problems, account security measures, or service disruptions. Verify your Blizzard account credentials are correct, check if you need to complete a security verification step (like SMS protect), and try clearing your browser cache or reinstalling the Battle.net client.
Client stability issues can result from corrupted files, compatibility problems, or service disruptions. Try running the client as administrator (on Windows), clear the Battle.net cache folder, and check for any conflicting software like overlays or antivirus that might be interfering.
Download problems may be caused by disk space limitations, network restrictions, or service disruptions. Verify you have sufficient free space, check if your firewall or security software is blocking Battle.net, and try the scan and repair option to fix any corrupted installation files.
Connection issues can stem from network routing problems, server load, or service disruptions. Run a connection test in the Battle.net client, check for any ISP routing issues to Blizzard servers, and verify if specific game servers are experiencing technical difficulties.
Payment issues may be caused by payment method problems, account restrictions, or service disruptions. Verify your payment information is current, check if your account has any regional or purchasing restrictions, and try an alternative payment method if available.
Disconnection errors typically indicate network stability issues, authentication problems, or service disruptions. Check your internet connection stability, verify no network changes occurred (like IP address changes), and try restarting your networking equipment to establish a fresh connection.
Social feature issues can result from privacy settings, connection problems, or service disruptions. Check your online status isn't set to appear offline, verify your connectivity to Battle.net services, and try restarting the client to refresh social connections.
Client connectivity errors often indicate background service problems or network issues. Restart the Battle.net client completely (including background processes), verify your firewall allows Battle.net background services, and check if your network connection allows the required ports for Battle.net services.
About Battle.net

The service enables users to purchase and download games, connect with friends, participate in matchmaking for multiplayer sessions, manage characters and accounts, and access news and updates through desktop and mobile applications, serving as the central hub for Blizzard's gaming ecosystem.
Casual gamers use Battle.net to maintain their game libraries, track achievements, and join friends for cooperative play across Blizzard titles. Competitive players leverage the platform's matchmaking services for ranked play, tournament participation, and leaderboard tracking in games like Overwatch and Hearthstone. Content creators access Battle.net to stream popular Blizzard games, capture gameplay footage, and participate in beta tests of upcoming releases, while World of Warcraft players utilize the service to manage multiple characters, guild memberships, and subscription payments for the long-running MMORPG.
Users may encounter various types of issues when using Battle.net, including temporary login authentication problems, occasional game download or patch installation delays, or brief matchmaking interruptions for online gameplay. Friend list and social features might sometimes display outdated information until manually refreshed. Game launch failures could occur after operating system updates or with specific hardware configurations requiring troubleshooting.

During major game releases, expansion launches, or seasonal events, users might experience login queues, slower navigation through the application, or temporary limitations on certain features as the platform manages peak traffic volumes across its global user base.
