All Platform Known Issues

• Player progression can be blocked in the Lost Archives Dungeon if the player attempts to interact with the mechanical boxes prior to killing both Demonic Vanguard enemies. Players should make sure to kill the Demonic Vanguard enemies first in the dungeon prior to interacting with the boxes.

Happy Sunday all -

Overnight and this morning have been pretty clear minus a disruption that impacted a small subset of players that the team discovered. There are some additional backend server rolls that have been occurring to address this with minimal or no impact to players and connections. These will continue on through the early afternoon.

Hi everyone -

Final update this evening from the War Room. The team got the hotfix out across all regions. Queue times and servers are looking good across the board and for the Ashava events tonight and early tomorrow morning.

We will be monitoring throughout the night and provide any updates if needed tomorrow.

Thanks again for all the wonderful feedback and bug reporting throughout this beta.

Happy Saturday evening everyone -

The team earlier this afternoon was able to successfully stabilize some of the player drops we were seeing from this morning. This has allowed us to alleviate queue times for all players.

We have another backend hotfix that we will be aiming to deploy later this evening to help out with further server stabilization. The deployment of this hotfix may disrupt some connections but is needed for the betterment of the beta through Sunday.

We will provide further updates when available. Thanks again and please continue posting about bugs and feedback in the forums.

Hello everyone -

Hello everyone -

Diablo IV Open Beta has begun and we want to thank everyone for jumping back into the world of Sanctuary. These beta tests are a crucial part of our development and help us make the game experience better for everyone as we head toward launch in June. Today, we have seen more players than ever log into the game. We are excited to see all the enthusiasm about the game and the two new available classes for testing (Druid & Necromancer) this weekend.

We want to provide an update on some of the major items the team is currently working on after the start of Open Beta earlier this morning.

• We are looking at an issue where players disconnect from the game and are unable to rejoin after disconnecting. This is tied to a few other items that players are experiencing such as party errors and some network performance issues in-game.
• There is an issue where Windows users may run into a crash upon alt-tabbing while in Fullscreen. We do have a ...

Thank you to those who participated in the Early Access Beta. Betas are incredibly useful for the development team. They allow us to test things at a scale that we cannot test on our own, like server capacity, class balance, usability, accessibility, etc. This information is invaluable, ensuring that your experience at launch is as smooth as it can be. It’s also critically important for the development team to hear how players feel about the overall experience of Diablo IV.

With your help, we learned a lot during our Early Access Beta weekend. We intend to learn a lot more this weekend during our Open Beta, and we want to talk to you all about what you can expect and how your participation directly impacts Diablo IV development.
