At my university, they use a program called safe connect. It is supposed to block all malicious activity and peer to peer stuff, but it is blocking any blizzard program i try to run. I used to play WoW and i still try to play Starcraft 2 but i had to uninstall them because safe connect identified them as a peer to peer program like limewire. I was wondering if there is anything i can do to try to maybe make them not peer to peer on the re install.

I'm not trying to bypass the school's program, i'm trying to shut off the peer to peer on the blizzard programs.

[rshaffer61]

Getting verification so that I can answer you honestly. Give me some time to get back with you.

[rshaffer61]

OK let me ask have you talked to the school about this and if so what did they say?

[deejaycea101]

No, i haven't, but honestly i only ever use geeks to go when i have a problem with my computer.

[rshaffer61]

OK HERE is how to turn of P2P in the game.

[deejaycea101]

I do not know where the blizzard downloader is, i searched for it on my computer but did not find it. Besides this is pertaining to the installation of Hearthstone not World of Warcraft.

It should be in the installation folder and the pictures i see are for WOW and not the one you mentioned.

[deejaycea101]

There really is not an installation folder all there is is a program.


Once i open it this is all i get, and then it blocks my computer saying there is peer to peer activity.

[rshaffer61]

Everything says the same thing. Here is another set of instructions.

In the WoW launcher, you can try disabling the P2P transfer by using:

Options->Downloader Preferences, then deselect the "Enable Peer-to-Peer Transfer" checkbox.

[deejaycea101]

I do not get a launcher, this is happening when i try to install.

[rshaffer61]

Ok something is not right... when you start the game is there anything like the options anywhere on the game window? Maybe in the setup menu of the game where you change the resolution or sound of the game?

[deejaycea101]

When i run the install for the first time the only thing that comes up is


That is a picture of the entire window.
