Diablo® III

I did this and now all that happens is the d/l gets to 10% and gives me a "Failed to download required file. Check internet connection." Error. I'm at a loss as to what else I can do other than doing a complete reinstall...

When ever i run the .bat file it just flashes something then closes.... from what i saw i think it said "error: invalid key name"... i tried remaking it several times to see if maybe i copy and pasted wrong, but same thing still

Seems there was some errors in my script with the latest changes, try copy/pasting it again, I should've fixed it.

What was happening is the slashes got mixed up, the reg command seems to only like \ for the key path, and not / like I was using mistakenly, though don't change /f, that just makes it not prompt you yes/no to delete a key. If it doesn't find the key, then that's perfectly fine.

That's unfortunate, I don't really know what could be causing that other than an issue with your firewall/connection or it could mean there's an issue writing to a file preventing the download from completing. But since it's mentioning internet connection, my guess is there, and you should make a separate post for that. Maybe a blizzard rep can walk you through that, if you're lucky.

Uninstalled and still the same issue... Guess I'll have to make a new thread about it.

Everytime there is an update I run into something stopping me from playing the game, usually only takes 10 mins or so to find a solution, but sometimes it can be a real pain (trying things out over and over)

I ran into this first and it worked! Thank you very much.

I am quite glad it helped!

I also just had to do steps 1 and 2 and I was good to go. Thanks a bunch!

Not going to lie, when I first found this "fix" - I was a little overwhelmed and kinda ticked off, lol.

BUT - It worked for me, it was surprisingly easy and not horribly painful. Thanks!

It looks like you made a typo. Line four of the batch script should read
reg delete "HKCU\Software\Blizzard Entertainment\D3" /f
instead of
reg delete "HKCU\Software\Blizzard Entertainment\3" /f

giving this a go now. hopefully it works

Nice one! Thanks for taking the time to assist. Considering Australian broadband can still be discussed in terms of BAUD rate this option only requiring a partial download to fix the issue was a life saver.

Now if I can get a certain government redhead to supply me some paper cups and a few strings I maybe able to multi-link.

All jokes aside thanks again! I can hack slash and mame again - woot!

When I try to reinstall Diablo 3 after I did your steps it still says that I require 15 gb of space. Does that mean it does not fill in the missing patch?

Is going to make me lose any gear on my character or anything like that?

No, all of that is saved server-side

It will, if you point it at the install directory properly, it won't download much of anything at all, except maybe the patch. It will take a few minutes checking the files you already have to see what it needs/doesn't need to download.

I lol'd

I did what u wrote at the batch script and when i finished the stuff it did exactly what u said it would do. Then i tried to start diablo 3 normally and then i click install as it says and then i freezes like for a bit like its loading and then it just says the same again. reqired data for installing this game blabla. hmmh what to do?

Man, thanks a bunch. At first I saw your directions, and was like, alright, I'm going to try to do this without messing up !@#$. After scrolling down, I noticed you had a batch file, which I then used. It worked for me. Thanks again!

Did you run the installer downloaded from the website? The batch script only does step 1 and 2.

Thanks a lot Gothian... 'tis an elegant fix.
