Diablo 4 open beta patch notes
Blizzard encountered some difficulties during the latest beta of Diablo 4, as a significant number of players encountered bugs and error codes when playing, or trying to play, the dungeon crawler. A particular problem early on were those long queue times which resulted in wait times of up to an hour for some players before being disconnected. The devs seem to have seen to a few of these issues, especially with queue times and multiple crash issues.
Bug fixes for all platforms:
- Fixed an issue with Ashava’s spawn timer. She will now spawn on Saturday March 25th at 10:00am / 12:00pm / 10:00pm PDT and Sunday March 26th at 12:00am PDT.
- Fixed an issue where the queue timer would not display a time despite the player still being in queue.
- Addressed issues that should result in improved queue times.
- Fixed an issue where players would sometimes become blocked during the “In Her Wake” quest.
- Fixed an issue where players were unable to select High Texture Settings with 16GB of RAM.
- Fixed an issue where the UI would incorrectly show completed challenges as “Not Started.”
- Fixed multiple miscellaneous crash-related issues.
Bug fixes for consoles:
- Fixed an issue where the second player in couch co-op could not drop in during the game prologue.
The open beta for Diablo 4 kicks off later this week on Friday, March 24 and 9:00 AM PDT and ends on Monday, March 27 at 12:00 PM PDT, and here’s how to preload the Diablo 4 Open Beta if you need some clear and concise info.
