Common Problems

Failed to launch a critical file. Please close all other applications, temporarily deactivate your anti-virus software, and try again. Alternatively, log in as an administrator and try again.
BLZBNTAGT00000843

The Blizzard Agent could not find or launch the game's executable file. This happens when game files have been moved by security programs, corrupted during an update, or have incorrect permissions settings.

Windows

The steps below will re-create any missing files. When you have completed these steps, try launching the game again to see if the error appears. If the error returns, follow the steps under Advanced Troubleshooting.

  1. Configure your security software's exception list to allow Blizzard applications to run.
  2. Deleting the Battle.net cache folder can resolve problems with the logon module.
  3. Setting a game to always run as administrator may cause launching errors. Right-click the game, select Properties > Compatibility, and uncheck Run this program as an administrator.
Advanced Troubleshooting
  1. Close all other applications to resolve software conflicts and free up resources.
  2. Run the repair tool to repair any damaged game files.
  3. Try creating a new administrator account to resolve permissions issues.
  4. If the problem persists, uninstall and reinstall the game.

Mac

  1. Blizzard games do not support Mac OS X 10.9.5 or lower and you will receive this error while playing on an unsupported version. Upgrade to the latest version of Mac OS X, which is available for free from Apple.
  2. Make sure your game client and files are in the right game folder by checking each of the folders listed below for the items in the Game Files column.

  1. Reset Folder and File Permissions to make sure there is no conflict between the latest OS update and your permissions.
  2. Close all other applications to resolve software conflicts and free up resources.
  3. If the problem persists, uninstall and reinstall the game.
