The OW2 update on Battle.net won't finish: Stuck on initializing.

It has been reported in the following thread in Japanese, but I will create a thread in English as well: 永遠に初期化中 - chocochoco22-3559の投稿#4件 The region is “Asia.”

The user community has suggested the following solutions:

  • Switch Battle.net to the beta version. (However, many users have reported that this doesn’t work.)
  • Reinstall Battle.net. (Again, many users have reported that this doesn’t work.)
  • Change the region to something other than “Asia” (e.g., North America). This seems to be the most effective workaround.
