One of the main reasons why a game won’t start after downloading and installing is because the files aren’t installed correctly. To fix this, you can scan the game files via Battle.net and repair them.
Even if your game supports the minimum system requirements revealed by the developers, there is a chance that the game will crash due to high in-game settings. Lower the settings and test again if you can still enjoy the better and smoother gameplay with the reduced visual quality.
