BLZBNTAGT00000BB8 errorSince this weekend (don’t kis know precisely when, las time I played was Thursday), I’m getting this error.I open the BNet client, the blue button instead of play says Update and then as I click a box containing this error code pops.

How do I fix the WoW BLZBNTAGT00000BB8  error?

1. Scan and Repair your WoW client

2. Disable or temporarily uninstall your antivirus

Your antivirusmay mistakenly identify the login module as asecurity threatand may prevent the game from updating, or launching.

Once you’ve done that, make sure that you restart your PC and try launching WoW again.

Additionally, you could try using a different antivirus tool, one that is easier to switch on and off, and that allows better filtering of wanted and unwanted apps.

There are manyWindows 10 compatible antivirus softwarethat offer great real-time protection and have lower false-positive rates.

We recommend looking for an antivirus that is easy to use and has a small resource usage. Additionally, make sure to pick a security tool with a large threat database and a powerful firewall.

Once you’ve installed it, perform a full system scan to remove any viruses or malware.

3. Optimize your wireless internet connection.

Since WoW is an MMORPG, a stable online connection is crucial for updating, launching, and playing the game.

If you notice that your wireless connection is pretty weak in general, you could try someminor troubleshooting steps, or switch to a wired connection altogether.

If you still prefer a wireless connection, you could try moving closer to the router, and making sure that there are as few obstacles between you and it as possible.

4. Check out your proxy settings

Since WoW needs constant online connectivity, using proxies and VPNs the wrong ways can cause a wide range of issues, not just this particular error message. It can lead to lag, packet losses, and more.

That being the case, disable any proxies that may interfere with the login module.

Additionally, you should try playing WoW while your VPN is disabled, or you can try an entirely new VPN. Look for a VPN with a large number of servers and good global coverage because these offer great connections almost all the time.

Another useful feature that is provided by some of thebest VPN servicesis split tunneling. This may be especially helpful if you like gaming because you can use it to prioritize your traffic towards your game.

5. Other troubleshooting solutions

If the above solutions don’t work, you should also try the following:
