I recently wanted to play a bit of Overwatch 2, so I installed both the game and the battle.net launcher. After a few hours, the launcher was suddenly not able to connect to the internet anymore. I could still play the game if I started the launcher in offline-mode but later that evening, the game got an update, which the launcher was incapable of downloading.
I tried re-installing the launcher in order to see if maybe there had been a faulty installation only to find that I could no longer install it whatsoever.
After contacting Blizzards technical support and doing a bit of trouble shooting, they suggested that the cause of the network issues might by Kaspersky and that I should see if it would work if I uninstalled the program. So I did. And it did.
So now I'm wondering:
1: Does Kaspersky Total Security inherently cause network issues for battle.net and
2: if yes, if there is some kind of setting or option in the program to circumvent that issue?
So far, I have been pretty happy with Kaspersky and I don't really want to have to pick between getting to play a game I enjoy and benefitting from the added protection that I paid for.
I seem to be having the same issue, and yes it seems kaspersky keeps blocking the network activity of blizzard client. this is because every time i disable kaspersky and relaunch the client, all issues are gone, and it works so perfectly, it almost seems like there never was an issue.

Hope this issue gets resolved soon.
