Blizzard, a subsidiary of Activation Blizzard, is a Californian company that develops and publishes video games. Blizzard’s desktop application has many bugs that prevent you from playing games published by Blizzard. One of these errors is the error message “The Application Encountered an Unexpected Error”. This error may occur if you try to connect to the application.

The error message is often due to a faulty installation or application cache files. The cache is a temporary file that is stored on your system and contains information that you can access through your sessions. This error message is generic and can be solved by a simple solution, which we will mention below. But before getting to the heart of the matter, let’s take a closer look at the causes of the error message.
