These are the steps they must carry out and show you. Tick them as they work: if steps are skipped, do not accept a part swap.
These are not instructions for opening or handling the equipment yourself. They are the checks that should support a technical conclusion.
Blizzard technical support
What they doIf BLZBNTAGT00000BB8 persists after exceptions, a better connection, the repair tool and without proxy, Blizzard support reviews the update logs.
They must show youthe ticket number and the step where the update fails in their logs.

PC administrator for company proxies
What they doIf the proxy is set by a work, school or company network policy, its administrator decides whether Blizzard traffic can bypass it.
They must show youthe proxy policy that applies to the PC.

Before accepting a part or repair
Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.
Follow these steps
Note: Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.
Security exception list
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- open your security software and add the Battle.net app and the affected game to its exception or allowed list, then retry the update.
- Result that matters:
- whether the update data downloads and installs with the exception in place.
- If it installs:
- the security software was blocking the write.
- If it still fails:
- check the connection.
- Evidence to keep:
- a screenshot of the exceptions added.
Evidence: BLZBNTAGT00000BB8
Connection quality
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- if you use Wi-Fi or a slow line, connect by cable or try another network and pause other downloads.
- Result that matters:
- whether the update completes on a better connection.
- If it completes:
- the connection was the limit.
- If it fails on a good connection:
- run the repair tool.
- Evidence to keep:
- the connection type and a speed test result.

Repair tool for the game
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- run Blizzard's repair tool on the game from the Battle.net app and retry the update.
- Result that matters:
- whether the scan ends and the update then installs.
- If it installs:
- damaged files blocked the update.
- If it fails again:
- look for a proxy.
- Evidence to keep:
- the scan result.

Proxy settings
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- in Windows, open Settings, Network and internet, Proxy and check whether a proxy is set; turn off the one you configured yourself and close any program that routes traffic through a proxy.
- Result that matters:
- whether the update works without the proxy.
- If it works:
- the proxy was interfering.
- If no proxy was set or the error stays:
- contact Blizzard support.
- Evidence to keep:
- the proxy setting you found and changed.

What it means
Blizzard says BLZBNTAGT00000BB8 is caused by a problem downloading or writing new update data. Downloading points to the connection or to a proxy in the way; writing points to security software stopping Blizzard applications from saving files, or to damaged game files that the update cannot replace. Blizzard's four steps (security exceptions, a better connection, the repair tool and disabling proxies) separate these causes. The code does not show a failing drive by itself.
