What do people have against the battle.net launcher?

Well, for me this addon is a problem. Sometimes i have a little time to play from the office, WoW is hidden in the jungle of folders, it's not installed just a copy from home, so there is no trace at all. Now this crap is installed too and it's everywhere. In the start menu, on the desktop, it makes fodlers in Documents, system tray, have to close it every time. I just keep deleting the stuff it makes and it keep making them back. My life was perfect and happy without it.

Well if your boss doesn't want you playing games on his dime then you shouldn't be a douche for playing games while your suppose to be working and trying to hide it like a high school nerd.

I don't really understand why people hate it.
I love it, very organized, easy to start-up the games, and I can log-in right away.

I don't like launchers. Double-clicking the icon and the game was launcing was perfect, what the hell went wrong. (part of the reason I don't like Steam)

Thankfully it's still possible to ignore it and launch the games directly by adding "-launch" in the shortcut.

People still double click icons on the computer screen?

Origin takes up 30 times more memory and also 24% of CPU. Steam 4 times more memory and 11% CPU.

I care. What problems are you having?

I care. What problems are you having?

... initializing

It was like winning the lottery to fix all the problems I had with the launcher after the patch.

[zorkuus]

That's a patch issue, not launcher.

A blue told me otherwise. They have known issues with the launcher and the update agent.

I like it, only thing that needs fixed imo is when you run it on OS X and launches like once or twice more in your dock. Kinda of goofy coding to have it appear 3x in your dock down below. Other than that easy fix, I like it!

fun fact: if you launch battle.net and it asks for admin rights that means it wants to scan your pc!

Dude, are you Zerocool? What was it, "mess with the best, die like the rest"....

I have only had minor, infrequent problems with it, but have had tons of friends have game-breaking problems pretty often, which led to me helping them fix them more often than not.

It's fast, use-friendly and it's constantly improving over the time. Never had a single problem. Absolutely love it.

Where to begin with what is wrong.....
1. it puts additional strain on my already poor Internet connection living in a rural area
2. It doesn't even have the decency to tell you at what speed it is downloading i.e. 1 meg 3 meg etc...
3. It doesnt tell you how big the file size is your downloading
4. It uses up additional registry memory.
5. It is compulsory this is not a convenience it is a burden
6. My download has been initializing for over an hour now WHAT THE **** damn F******* launcher
