Same problem with my macbook, then the program will restart and download 11GB of upgrade but is the 4th time

Same problem here. On Windows 11 I tried steam version and also custom launcher version.
Everyday I download 11gb of content and after close a couple of time it will ask to download again.

Please fix

I'm experiencing this issue today trying to launch from Epic Games (May 2nd 2025)

THis problem is happening again. I am going to try playing on Epic instead of Steam

Same here on WIn 10 after the last major update a few days ago. Before that everything worked fine. Now sometimes it randomly works after rebooting, but most of the time it does not.

Already tried reinstalling the entire game. And also tried every "fix" suggested according to network settings (proxy, vpn, ...) and other stuff (restarting the game, rebooting the system, rebooting the router, ...) I found on the net.

I'm getting this and cannot log in.

same problem. Using my laptop on the same connection it worked fine. PC refusing to retrieve asset manifest.

Hello,

It sounds like you may need some more troubleshooting advice, please submit at: https://mtgo-support.wizards.com/hc/en-us/requests/new and select 'Technical Troubleshooting'.

Thanks!

retrieving asset manifest failure. using PC. "retry" 'd several times , game won't start. uninstalled & reinstalled APP- no good. all other internet connections working fine.
please advise, thank you.

Having same issue now for days. I guess I stop playing arena.

Same issue on my Windows PC and iPad. I can usually get it to work if I connect to my phone hotspot, get the game launched and stable, then switch back to my WiFi.

This is really frustrating, WoTC. Especially because, as far as I’m aware, there has been no comment on this from the company. Communication is essential! Why are we still having to tell you this in 2023?

Same! MTG please help us!

For some reason this was never fixed. I found a ton of different reports on different platforms about this without any real solution from WotC.

The only workaround i know of is to switch your public IP (usually restarting your router will do it), or route your traffic through another device like a phone's hotspot.

I found this to happen more often if i switch between platforms (i play on PC and Mac).

Have the same issue again and again. I paid too much for this. And it isn’t an unknown issue…

The only thing I've been able to do is to create a hot spot with my phone and connect that way. But I need to do this every time I open the app regardless if it was already logged in or not.
