Run your Task Manger and kill the active task.

I don;t know if you have task manager on simple format or advanced format. But I asume the simple one as that is the default one.

click on more detail and then search the background processes for smite. If you can;t find it then kill Hi-rez related programms but never kill the HiPatchservice. If you do that it takes some more steps to getting it up again and that just extra time for something that is not a cause (it always runs if you have background patching up i believe)

In case something is wrong with your shortcut here's the command line prompt for running smite

C:\Program Files (x86)\Hi-Rez Studios\HiRezLauncherUI.exe game=300 product=17

*your directory path may be slightly different depending on version*

Restarting computer, running the troubleshoot, making sure everything is up to date is really all you can do. You can search it on google, check the reddit or ask hirez directly if none of that works.

Me and my friends all started having this happen since the ratatoskr patch, but it lets us play after we kill the running process... It might just be a glitch with the patch.

Try this :

Open the task Manager
Switch over to the Process tab
Try to find any aplications that involves Hi Rez or SMITE.
Close 'em.


If that doesn't work, I'll try to find the vid that allowed me to get the corrupted data files from SMITE to work again

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
