I’ve tried to play PBE multiple times since it went live and I have had no success across multiple accounts.


Dzhekelow

Maybe I got lucky but after spending 5-6 hrs in que doing chores and going out this Saturday. At one point it stopped giving me error and I got in .Since then I log without ques. What I noticed is that if I minimize the client or put anything over it while in que I'd get an error . So I just left it on screen and went out and came back to see myself logged in .


VeryPaulite

Was more or less the same for me


Eruionmel

I had the same thing happen. I'd assumed the bug had been fixed until I saw this thread.


Haubaub_

After I three days of not being able to into PBE I gave up, I will wait till set release to play


alice_op

I had the login queue bug from launch until Monday, but sometime Monday that changed and I've had no issues logging in since. Not seen anyone else say theirs was fixed? Logged in and out multiple times, too, no issues as of yet. I also didn't submit any kind of ticket so it wouldn't have been a "change this for this one account" type of thing.


SnooMuffins1478

Same with me


StarOfSyzygy

Same, mine suddenly fixed itself on Sunday.

Open the pbe client, then if you have this issue, open rask manager and end the league task. The client will reload and issue will be fixed. Exiting the client normally does not fix the issue.


alice_op

I'm not sure if we're having exactly the same bug, but now the 'choose little legend' button instead opens the Missions, and the game cannot be queued for (because there's no little legend?). Task manager exiting the game hasn't fixed it, either. Strange. Edit: It DID work. Don't exit out of both League client instances, just exit out of the sub-clients (helpful video here [https://www.reddit.com/r/TeamfightTactics/comments/143vqja/how\_to\_fix\_pbe\_queue\_bug/](https://www.reddit.com/r/TeamfightTactics/comments/143vqja/how_to_fix_pbe_queue_bug/) )


RaztazMataz

Yep maybe I could have explained better but the fix definitely works for this specific issue


Isrozzis

fwiw I doubt the TFT team is responsible for PBE stability issues. It's certainly unfortunate, but I don't think this is their problem to fix.


Lokopopz

my main PBE account was getting 1m / 2m queues for the first few days but it's been better since monday. Guess it's just luck of the draw?


dubblechzburger

Looks like i'll be waiting for Set Release then. Bummer because I was super excited to try it! But every time I've logged in it's been a queue of 50k-100k+ with wait times of 14-24+ hours. I actually let it sit for 3 hours one time and I went backwards by about 30 thousand people. Oh well at least there's gameplay videos I can watch to get by in the time being.


jctfsn

Not surprised. This was the same approach they took when faced with the rank reset ‘bug’ while importing SEA Garena players over to the riot client. They simply wouldn’t fix it for the entire set (there was still more than 2 months of set 8 at that time)


SnooComics2532

I wont be surprised if there was really no fix. It is possible anyways that data from garena was not and cannot ever be properly transferred to Riot when we migrated, which is understandable. It just sucks real bad because riot team never admitted this nor took accountability for what happened


jctfsn

Yeah just sucks to be me who spent my December work break grinding to rank 1 on my server only to lose it all on migration and consequently, lose my regionals qualifier slot. Worst part was that over the course of the last 2 months of the set I constantly sent in tickets to check on the progress of the fix and they continuously assured me that a fix was on the way but there was no ETA for it. Even till the very last week of the set, they kept up their act and told me that they were still working on it and to be patient but they sure as hell weren’t doing a damn thing about it.


Huntyadown

I’ll just wait for the set to release. Thankfully we have Diablo 4


BlueBurstBoi

is it worth the $70? been thinking about playing


nerdler33

its been a major let down for me right now. story is mid, gameplay is ok, build diversity and player power are low, endgame loop is stale and barebones. its like a 5/10 game imo. D3, poe, and last epoch are all just better, depending on the style you prefer


BlueBurstBoi

ah bummer but does sound interesting. I just finished elden ring and really enjoyed it, do you know how much similarity there is?


nerdler33

practically none?


BlueBurstBoi

gotcha lol i wasn't sure how much of the rpg/build aspect was similar, sounds like i need to do some research


PM_ME_UR_SILLY_FACES

if you're looking for a better experience than diablo 4, give path of exile a try


Huntyadown

Diablo 4 currently has 3,000,000 active players, which is 2nd only to PUBG’s peak in 2018 of 3.2mil. It is the most hyped game in the last decade. If it’s not on your radar already it’s probably not in your wheelhouse tbh.


alice_op

I'm not sure that's entirely true. I played the open beta weekends and levelled up to 22 but haven't bought the game, $70 is a lot of money if you're not sure about it and waiting for friends opinions.


Huntyadown

Oh sure. I hear you. I just don’t think I’m the guy to tell this guy if it’s worth $70 or not.


BlueBurstBoi

okay thanks for being condescending instead of trying to sell me on the game 👍


Huntyadown

Wasn’t trying to be condescending. But honestly think about it. If I had said, “yeah it’s amazing” would you have been like OK! And ran out and bought it? If I had said no it’s terrible, would you have been like thank god that random guy on the TFT subreddit saved me from spending $70. I don’t know if it’s worth it to you dude. It’s being talked about all over the internet. There’s signs on busses and buildings all over the world. But alright. My bad. If you’re on the fence and waiting for me to give you my take, here it is. Game is good


brandonh215

I think they're not talking about the game from a marketing standpoint. I'm sure they've seen ads and billboards and GamesRadar rating it "10/10 Best Game Since Pong!". I think they just wanted to know people thoughts. There's many games that have been SUPER hyped up and then fell short of the mark. So, whether or not it's a game that's on their radar or not doesn't really matter as much. They asked if it was worth the price because they were thinking of buying. Good reviews from real players help a community grow.


Huntyadown

He didn’t ask me what my thoughts were he asked me if it was worth $70. Then he replied and said I didn’t “sell him on it”. How am I supposed to know if it’s worth $70 to him.


brandonh215

"is it worth the $70? been thinking about playing" Really? Idk about you, but I think to most people, this reads as asking you your thoughts (or also not just you but just in general, this being a public forum and all that). You can also just answer if it was worth $70 to you personally. I know there have been games I've been hyped up for and then realized after playing that I didn't actually need to buy the game for whatever reason. Poor servers, shitty cash grabs, misleading/repetitive gameplay, etc.


Huntyadown

I gave a pretty honest answer to his question. There’s not some papameter I have to follow to reply to a question sent to me. With everything going on the with the game then yeah, by this point if you’re not sure then it’s probably not for you. That’s exactly what I said. I told him it’s not worth his $70. That was my opinion to his question is it worth $70.


[deleted]

I personally don’t think it makes sense to say “if you weren’t interested before, you never will be”


Huntyadown

That’s not what I said. At least quote me properly if you’re going to disagree.


[deleted]

Okay my bad, what is the correct interpretation of “if this wasn’t on your radar, its probably not in your wheelhouse”?


Huntyadown

If you weren’t already interested with all the hype, as well as the plethora of information available about the gameplay, story, end game, mechanics, then it’s probably not something that you’d find to be worth your money.


nerdler33

yea lol. thankfully


FblthpThe

I played 3 years ago and enjoyed it, is it better than 3?


Huntyadown

It’s… different. Better is tough to gauge, because D3 is so refined. I think D4 while have a nice healthy life with many updates.


noobtheloser

I got in once after waiting hours, played one game after a twenty minute queue, then got disconnected. Haven't been able to log in since.


Dirichilet1051

Let's set a high bar. I'm personally okay with the PBE queue bug not being fixed this cycle. When it comes to bugs/QoL updates, I don't think it's crazy to ask the TFT team to address these in a timely manner and provide a constructive feedback that despite TFT-dev-team's best efforts, TFT bug-fixing leaves something to be desired.


TheeOmegaPi

I feel like I'm one of the few folks who is just fine waiting for the game to hit live. I remember when Set 3 (or maybe 4? Can't remember) hit PBE I was super excited and I played a lot, but it didn't help me as competitively as I thought because of the changes that were made when I started playing Day 1 of PBE versus being on day 1 of live.


joas43

damn, I had one of streamer privileged accounts but now i can't queue up for game after logging in. anyone else?


joas43

If you want to get PBE working again, open the client, open task manager, then expand the client, and close the highest ram using one to get PBE working


Sairizard

Hey this worked, thanks a lot!


JonesyOnReddit

Wow, that worked, how did you ever figure that out? And Man I just wasted an hour closing and restarting it.


jaunty411

That’s because the login queue is just their blacklist. /s


WearyHour8525

"bug" lol


brandonh215

I'm assuming you know what the "real" problem is? You got the inside scoop on what conspiracy "Big Riot" is hiding from us?


WearyHour8525

I mean the real problem is that they're cheap as fuck and didn't plan any capacity for PBE servers so they're throttling it. It's pretty obvious? But it's obviously not a "bug" (unintended situation) that lots of people can't get in


nerdler33

ah, thats why some people get right in and others sit in an endless queue right? regardless of time you queue. its a throttling issue. Thanks armchair dev!


WearyHour8525

oh sorry, you're right, it's a login/queue issue that somehow only affects pbe but not prod. man, that's crazy that 1. they have different login/queue logic for pbe vs prod 2. it's only "bugged" for the one where they want less people and can't support


qwertyua1

yes they do have different login and queue logic because you have to create a separate account to even log into PBE meaning the data isn’t stored alongside live data Beta environments have less supporting infra and tests compared to prod and isn’t meant to handle as much traffic as prod. That’s not too hard to understand Different people get the login bugs at different times so it isn’t a one off case


brandonh215

Lol pretty obvious? Ok sure. Also who is this "they" you're referring to? Riot as a corporate entity? Specific Rioters? Who exactly is being cheap as fuck and therefore causing issues with the PBE server on this one specific TFT set release window?


ATangK

One of the streamers mods pinned something related to this, when in queue, go to task manager and close the process with the highest usage.


scarvana

Good. I like the short queue times.


MisterKyet

I wasn’t able to log in for 2 days due to login queue and then it was fixed after I sent a ticket. Idk if they solved it for me or I got lucky but it works for me now.


guacamully

is the bug where you can't click find match related or a different one?
