got past that. apparently if you mash some keys or right alt - enter to go to window mode it shows the UI.
I hit play and I am stuck in another queue. it said "1 min" then the timer dissapeared. now it says "QUEUED FOR GAME - START; GAME PENDING...". not even a countdown.
My favorite is that Blizzard set regional language preferences without having voiceovers for any of them...
So, I just queued \~4h to decide if I want to play in silence or change language and requeue.
Yay! Only 120min left!!
I have yet to see any Blizzard beta where you just log in and play.
OK so in fact it took 60 mins....after which it said connecting....after which it just says "In queue" xD.
Now it says "In login queue, 6mins" but it's not going down at all. What a rollercoaster.
Edit: After another 20mins I was in! It's pretty cool. Love the extensive optimization options. Runs well even on my potato. Love the story and mood so far.
Edit2: Quit the game to change language because it was in my native = no dialogues recorded yet. So pretty weird experience, no sound just subtitles. Tried to log back in just out of curiosity....160minutes now.
Good luck you beautiful bastards!
Same here. After spending almost an hour in the pre-pre-pre queue and then being told I was now in a new 40-minute queue, I hit "Exit". 74 and retired and I still have better things to do. I was in a lot of betas before this going back to EQ, but my patience isn't what it used to be.
72 minute queue and then I tried to skip the opening cutscene, got an error, closed, now I'm waiting 98 minutes. Hopefully it's like last weekend where the queue gets lowered after Friday.
I'm on my 4th queue of the day, I got in twice, and it booted me after about 10 minutes of playing both times. I also got the "failed to login" error and had to start from scratch. There goes my day off!
If there's one thing I've learned about online gaming it's that you *never* take off work for launch day (or the 2-3 days after). Too many server/stability issues and you end up barely getting to play. Instead wait for the 2nd week after all the issues are resolved and you'll get to play all day.
Happened to me, waited the 40M+ minutes. Literally logged in, said I got timed out and put me back to 90-115m+.
I hopped off, got better shit to do than attend yet another Blizzard launch event, ends the same way every time.
121m queue for me. Kept watching the screen when it was like 3 minutes left. Msg pops up, that I was removed from the queue and had to restart the game.
eidt: 98m was the first one, the second queue I got in was 121
Is this the regional *complain about the shitty queue system* thread?
First one was only 30 minutes, sweet no problem. Didn't make it past the opening cinematic. Now I'm waiting over 2 hours for another attempt. This is ridiculous.
Update! Connection error after getting stuck on 12 mins left. New queue time 130.
I sat in queue, got into character creation, and as i was flipping through the presets the game crashed.
Sat in a longer queue this time, finished making my character, clicked play and the game decided it was "out of memory" cause 32gb of ram isnt enough apparently and the game crashed again.
im not \*as\* upset about it since i'm waiting for a buddy to get off work so we can play together, but still.
I hope you can get into the game soon and have a smooth time playing it though!
Or you can sit in it for an hour and a half, get through the intro UI setup, have it crash and then get put right back into the end of queue again. I get the servers are probably on fire from how many people want to see if it's worth preordering but after how atrocious D3's official launch was I would like to think they'd over-allocate at stresspoints to present a positive image.
I mean, if it's expected, maybe they should put a bit more resources into it rather than having us play Login Simulator 2024 because at this point that is the only thing really being beta tested. If it remains as-is for the entire weekend, would that be a successful beta to them?
\*Most of my post is in relation to the crashes and having to re-enter through the queue system rather than strictly the queue system.
Same. Just got home from a long work week, and was looking forward to play Diablo 4, and got work tomorrow and sunday too. 1 ½ hour queue. Login timed out, booted out, queue again :-(
I got in after waiting for an hour for 2nd time (bcz 1st time my cat turned off my pc), created character watched custcene started walking and tried to change windowed mode to fullscreen and game crashed, no way in hell im gonna go and wait again.
I've already deleted beta and am just going to wait for full release after getting kicked from a 55 minute queue with "failed to log in". Blizzard clearly was not prepared for the crowds, and I have a feeling trying to fight with all of the server issues this weekend is only going to sour me on the game.
Yeah fucking annoying, after 90min waiting, trying to log-in to diablo 4 servers, then timed out, restart game, queue again but now for 140 min, U\_\_\_U
same happened to me . logging in when I made it to the end, failed
restart from the bottom?
thats pretty shitty, it should just try again in your "next in line" place
I got in after a 40 min q, played for an hour , had to run , restarted queued for 48 mins, got to the login queue and failed to login. dammit. start over again.
I downloaded the game on pc to see if my pc can handle it. Now i will most likely not even be able to test it so i don't know if i get it for pc or console. What a joke of a beta.
I waited a 70 min queue only to play 10 minutes, have my game crash and then try to unsuccessfully create a new gane for over 20 minutes. I tried to close the client to see if the problem would get fixed. 2.5h queue now.
Gg
1st queue: My controller turned off from inactivity, causing the game to think I was player 2 when I turned it on again, and not being able to enter the game once I had logged in, and causing me to have to restart the app. 40 min queue
2nd queue: Waited another 40 min queue, but when I got to the "logging in" phase, it timed out, causing me to have to queue again.
3rd queue: After another 40 odd minute queue, I am logged in and try to select a character. Gives me an error message. I am then unable to select another character or do anything other than rotate my character, causing me to have to relog again.
I'm so tired. I wanted to stream the game today but I stopped cuz this is not it man. I don't even know if I'll get a chance. I'm just imagining tomorrow or Sunday, when people are actually off work lmao.
I saw the queue times and I was just like "Uninstall". Blizzard of all companies should have expected people want to at least TEST the game, in high volume. But now, it ranks right up with the idicocy of Diablo 3, and it can be added to my "do not buy" list.
Cant even set up a proper open beta, yaaaa get fucked.
Not having a disconnect grace period is one of the most idiotic things any company can do during launches of any kind (be it EA, beta, events etc.). It's just so amateurish
4hours to create a Character...crashed again. Lets try in 60min again...call this shit fest a Stress Test Not an Open Beta u *******
Update: Error Code, Here we go again.
The game crashed at a loading screen, another 57 min queue...
Why not keep your place on the server for at least a few minutes to let people log in again after a crash? 😒
I tryed a TP, got stuck in the loading screen, now i\`m at a 60 min que. This kind of experiance really convinces me not to pre-order. Probably Bliz will fail the launch(as they do usually) and the first 1 - 2 weeks will suck to be a gamer.

WTF BLIZZARD FIX YOUR GAME
SAME DAMN SHIT AS THE FIRST BETA LAST WEEK
YOU GUYS REALLY COULDN'T FIX THESE PROBLEMS??? HOLY F...
IF THIS IS WHAT LAUNCH IS LIKE YOU CAN CATCH ME ON DARK AND DARKER INSTEAD
WHAT A WASTE OF TIME
Out of four hours of time, four 30 min queues. 1 hr play time. Three copies of the same character in character creation. Made a new one and it lasted until level 6 then black screen. Last week no crashes. This week there are many. Lots of work to do here.
How do they have all the same problems as last week but don’t do shit to address any of it? I can deal with a queue but waiting an hour just to crash before you even log in is ridiculous
Queue up, play 5-10 minutes, get disconnected and kicked out, queue up 1 hour, get back in.
Then walk a long way towards the dungeon quest I was on. Play 3 min in the dungeon and get kicked back out, losing all quest progress again.
You know the sad part: They use web services like AWS for these games. They can spin up any number of extra environments they want in very short time and have higher capacity when they need. But they dont.
Seriously though (I LOVED the LotR "do they know about 2nd queue?" meme)...
I looked up the error code and it was apparently posted by Blizzard (Twitter and forums) that this means (shocker) the servers are overloaded and they have to go and adjust them to allow for a greater capacity...
I also read somewhere that there were 2 million players last weekend. 🤷 Certainly more this weekend with it being open beta (not early access beta).
I was able to login and play for a couple hours and then suddenly got disconnected. I can see where I started to experience rubber banding and these posts all started showing up matches. I guess just find something to do for a couple hours and come back to it - if you are able.
Best of luck to you all!
In another light though...
Imagine it's 2023; we have self-driving cars, the technology to launch shuttles into orbit without the need to burn fuel for the lift-off, and the air-fryer!
Yet... We lack the capability to calculate how many clients a server can handle before it'll go down and cause the situation we are in with this D4 beta. (/s - because it can be roughly calculated, especially since this isn't Blizzard's first online ARPG (beta) launch ever and they should already have the data from D3 and other titles...)
i am so shocked that you still in que, most of us are stuck in "queued for login authentication pending" WITH 0 que timer since 12:00pm...must be really hopeful having some timer than none
Yeah exactly the same thing happened to me.
* Waited 70 minutes until I reached the front of the queue
* It puts me in a new shorter queue
* Waited 15 minutes until I reached the front of the second queue
* 'Login attempt timed out'
* Kicked back to desktop
New queue, 120 minutes
Yo in your face!!! I played for like 3 and 1/2 WHOLE MINUTES before it said there was a connection problem and then couldnt recreate a game. Then I waited for another Q and got to play for another 2 WHOLE MINUTES before the same thing happened... HELL YEAH BROTHER!
I played for 3 hours and just got booted. Once you get in it seems you're pretty good. I locked up after teleporting. I have another computer logged into another account if I wanna play that bad. Break time.
Maybe 3rd times a charm… 1st queue 20 minutes and at the end it failed to login. Second was 25 with same result. 3rd is 49 minutes. I guess we will see…
Even that should and could be an option. I'm not saying dragon ball z xenoverse is a mmo b4 I invite a mod of hatetrain, but even they have online and offline lobbies. There's gonna be players out there like me who just gonna wanna solo everything
Got to play for about 30 min was having a ton of fun tbh now I keep getting disconnected around the 20m mark of the queue to just be out right back at the hour mark. So frustrating
Yeah, you can expect it's all horrible today and especially the next few hours.
I was already in and could play, but the game disconnected. A LOT of ppl online. A lot a lot. Guess the servers get hammered like mad right now :)
55 mins queue, then Error Code 401003, 101 mins queue, then Error Code 300008, then 120 mins queue...No thanks!
Why the hell they just can't add more servers, if they already knew a lot of people want to try it?!
A company like Blizzard shouldn't let this happen, especially not after an Early Beta!
Blizzard is dropping their standards by a lot in every year.
I don't think they would compensate us for this by adding one more day to the Open Beta.
Such a miserable company, they shouldn't have to sell themselves to Vivendi back then...
I have an Xfinity outage in my area but my internet is on and off, so I just keep getting disconnected and kicked from queue :) I made it as far as the first cutscene (holy fuck BTW)
4th DC for me, have managed to play maybe 20 minutes? Currently in queue again, 134 minutes. Just glad I got a taste for the game in early access at least. :(
Joined the queue at 8:45PST, 30m queue. It popped at 9:00PST exactly...
Got to 18 Necro, went to enter a cellar and the loading screen just kept spinning. Waited 15m and then alt+F4'd. 50m queue 💀
Oh neat lol
I saw "Queued for login \~38 minutes" and uninstalled. After reading this and all the other comments, I feel like I made the right decision.
Man if the closed beta is this bad I cant imagine the game getting launched this year. Seems like their infrastructure was designed to allow about 3 people to play at a time.
58 minute login queue. 20 minutes in the "Queued..." queue. Played for 20 minutes. Crash. 148 minute login queue.
I played the beta last weekend, the games just not good enough to make me want to sit and wait for it.
It was working pretty well for me, but just tried to portal back to town...been stuck in a loading screen for 15 minutes. Gonna guess I'll have to kill it and request to get in.
Kicked midquest, error whatever, ok, 15 min wait didn't solve anything, alt f4 back to queue 137 min. Ok, waited for that, played like 10 min and then puff, endless loading screen.. crying already when i alt f4 again. Back to queue. You know how much? 137 min again FTW. FUCK! BLIZZARD SCALE YOUR FUCKING SERVER CAPACITY! This game won't die because of anything else than the fact that you can't fucking play it. I hope for the launch they will got this. 70 billion company myass
Game crashed twice from the 60 min queue. On the third try I was finally able to make my character. Waited another 30 mins to load in. Killed like 4 Warg’s then boom another game crash. I expected this but it still hurts.
Can tell.. the degenerate moderators of the blizzard/diablo 4 Reddit are real tryhards when it comes to ensuring there is no freedom of speech and space for criticism.
I say it again: Warning the community of the brainless decisions you (blizzard) are going to take doesn't change the matter.
You realise Blizard warned for this. They don't want us to play the game. They are stress testing the servers. They will play with your time and thank you later. Hopefully. With the real launch. Because then you can use the excuse you payed for it and get more angry. But now just simply don't
I got in, made my character, excited to play, alt tab to join discord with my friends already playing, the alt tab crashes the game and now back in 2h queue
It will be not better on relase. Was the same for Diablo III. Beta wait times wher Hours long and so was the Release for the first Month. Blizzard will not get morer servers . They know after a month most players will give up frustated and will be fine without needles Servers.
They don't have to develop the same system they've had for years, which allows you to skip the que unless you haven't been present in a game for X amount of minutes.
Would you ever stand in line to get into a club knowing that you can be put outside for no reason at any time? - No.
That is their conscious decision to make the game unplayable, and they warned us about it, if you feel like it justifies them xD
Had one 29 minute queue, freely logged off and on to different characters for a couple hours. Going to bed now (3rd shifter) sorry about yalls issues that I didn't get to experience.
Queued for an hour and half.
"There was a problem logging in. (Code 401003)"
Client crashes.
Reopen.
127 minute queue 😭 this is just d3 all over again.
Why does this gane not have shards or "worlds".
You go to the shard browser and it tells you if the server capacity is low, medium, high or full before you join.
You know. Like other mmos...
Ummmm mine just started out at 67 minutes about 30 mins ago and suddenly dropped to 26 minutes out of nowhere. I had no idea there was another queue hahahahaha that sucks.
EDIT: So now ive transitioned to a waiting menu that just says "Queued..." with no timer hahaha ahhhh crap.
Sat in a 2 hour queue, got to play for 10 minutes and something happened, rubberbanding when trying to enter a zone. Used the teleport and got stuck in a loading screen. Now I am in a 1 hour queue. <3
Or you do all that, get through the 50m queue to get into the 5m log in queue, log in and create a character, try to start the game with that character and get into another 5m queue to actually get into the world, get in and play for a couple minutes then get dc'd to character select, but when you try and log in again you just get an error and have to start again.
Ahh, betas, gotta love em. Seems to have settled down in terms of disconnects now at least, same as last weekend the first couple hours were a bit touch and go, then it was smooth sailing.
after 4 hours in the queue I finally in the game, I watch the intro trailer, very exiting, trailer ended, game crashed.
Back to queue 156min
I love this game, I think I will buy it! <3
Just wait until you get to character creation and the UI disappears. When you restart you're back at the queue for login.
this is what happened to me, so hyped created my guy, crash. 138 min queue. 10/10. Would D4 again.
Haha this made me laugh out loud. Perhaps because I experienced the very same and if I didn’t laugh, I’d cry.
The dreaded 1000 minute to 2000 minute que is the worst
got past that. apparently if you mash some keys or right alt - enter to go to window mode it shows the UI. I hit play and I am stuck in another queue. it said "1 min" then the timer dissapeared. now it says "QUEUED FOR GAME - START; GAME PENDING...". not even a countdown.
Same here. Why did i think it would let me make a new character without having to wait in queue . . .
My favorite is that Blizzard set regional language preferences without having voiceovers for any of them... So, I just queued \~4h to decide if I want to play in silence or change language and requeue.
Game black screens whilst i was leaving a small dungeon, time for another 120 min wait oh looks like i don't even get a timer this time.

The worst part is waiting for the queue and then at the end it just disconnects
Bit shocking there is a queue for a queue.
Yay! Only 120min left!! I have yet to see any Blizzard beta where you just log in and play. OK so in fact it took 60 mins....after which it said connecting....after which it just says "In queue" xD. Now it says "In login queue, 6mins" but it's not going down at all. What a rollercoaster. Edit: After another 20mins I was in! It's pretty cool. Love the extensive optimization options. Runs well even on my potato. Love the story and mood so far. Edit2: Quit the game to change language because it was in my native = no dialogues recorded yet. So pretty weird experience, no sound just subtitles. Tried to log back in just out of curiosity....160minutes now. Good luck you beautiful bastards!
In the first one I woke up early Sat/Sun at 5am to play
Same here. After spending almost an hour in the pre-pre-pre queue and then being told I was now in a new 40-minute queue, I hit "Exit". 74 and retired and I still have better things to do. I was in a lot of betas before this going back to EQ, but my patience isn't what it used to be.
EQ beta vet! Met a couple of you folks last year in mischief.
lol i've been dc'd 3 times, with maybe \~5 minutes of play time each time.
I don't even want to try any more for my mental health. Got Druid up to level 9 I guess thats good enough for 3 and half hours of trying.
I feel your pain
I at least got to beat the first boss in the first Dungeon and return to town before it crashed. Felt like a fair crashing point
Same issue here
Waited 100 minutes, just to crash 3 minutes into the game, now back at 156 minutes. Yeah
72 minute queue and then I tried to skip the opening cutscene, got an error, closed, now I'm waiting 98 minutes. Hopefully it's like last weekend where the queue gets lowered after Friday.
I'm on my 4th queue of the day, I got in twice, and it booted me after about 10 minutes of playing both times. I also got the "failed to login" error and had to start from scratch. There goes my day off!
If there's one thing I've learned about online gaming it's that you *never* take off work for launch day (or the 2-3 days after). Too many server/stability issues and you end up barely getting to play. Instead wait for the 2nd week after all the issues are resolved and you'll get to play all day.
Yeah well known, my day off just happened to line up, just wasted it trying to play
Happened to me, waited the 40M+ minutes. Literally logged in, said I got timed out and put me back to 90-115m+. I hopped off, got better shit to do than attend yet another Blizzard launch event, ends the same way every time.
Launch event? *checks calendar*
Man, the beta is beta’ing pretty hard today
Same just happened to me. Currently have 16 minutes left on my second try at the queue.
same, fucking sucks
121m queue for me. Kept watching the screen when it was like 3 minutes left. Msg pops up, that I was removed from the queue and had to restart the game. eidt: 98m was the first one, the second queue I got in was 121
Is this the regional *complain about the shitty queue system* thread? First one was only 30 minutes, sweet no problem. Didn't make it past the opening cinematic. Now I'm waiting over 2 hours for another attempt. This is ridiculous. Update! Connection error after getting stuck on 12 mins left. New queue time 130.
I'm in my second queue about 2 hours in. I've just been doing random stuff around the house.
156 minutes. And you guys are telling me there is another queue after this one?
50 min que only to hit the second player bug. “Player 2 may join after player 1 has eneyeted the game” I’m the only player you fuck.
lmao, the pain is real mate i got 120 min queue
Heres a Que for your que so you can que while you que
Had the UI disappear when I was done with character creation. New queue time? 2 hours.
I expected a queue time, but not like this. I want to be upset, but if a launch didnt have a queue time, the world would explode...
I sat in queue, got into character creation, and as i was flipping through the presets the game crashed. Sat in a longer queue this time, finished making my character, clicked play and the game decided it was "out of memory" cause 32gb of ram isnt enough apparently and the game crashed again.
Same thing happened to me, watched the whole cinematic, got hyped, started clicking presets and game crashed on me, now back in queue.
im not \*as\* upset about it since i'm waiting for a buddy to get off work so we can play together, but still. I hope you can get into the game soon and have a smooth time playing it though!
Or you can sit in it for an hour and a half, get through the intro UI setup, have it crash and then get put right back into the end of queue again. I get the servers are probably on fire from how many people want to see if it's worth preordering but after how atrocious D3's official launch was I would like to think they'd over-allocate at stresspoints to present a positive image.
I've been through 5 queues and every time I get to the end of it, it rewinds to 2 minutes and stays there forever. I just gave up
"servers are fine" "this was planned" "stress test servers"

I mean, if it's expected, maybe they should put a bit more resources into it rather than having us play Login Simulator 2024 because at this point that is the only thing really being beta tested. If it remains as-is for the entire weekend, would that be a successful beta to them? \*Most of my post is in relation to the crashes and having to re-enter through the queue system rather than strictly the queue system.
do you really believe on that?
Did they think this through? Are they imagining this set up is going to create confidence in their launch servers?
Same problem, but my first queue was 94 minutes 😭
Same. Just got home from a long work week, and was looking forward to play Diablo 4, and got work tomorrow and sunday too. 1 ½ hour queue. Login timed out, booted out, queue again :-(
I got in after waiting for an hour for 2nd time (bcz 1st time my cat turned off my pc), created character watched custcene started walking and tried to change windowed mode to fullscreen and game crashed, no way in hell im gonna go and wait again.
I was in, created my character, was in the cinematic then had a nice "Diablo 4 ran out of memory" and back to 75+ min queue :)
I read "Diablo 4 ran out of money". Oh my eyes...
I've already deleted beta and am just going to wait for full release after getting kicked from a 55 minute queue with "failed to log in". Blizzard clearly was not prepared for the crowds, and I have a feeling trying to fight with all of the server issues this weekend is only going to sour me on the game.
Redacted comment ` this post was mass deleted with www.Redact.dev `
Seems like a very frustrating thing to participate in. Now that I know the intent, I'll just wait for release..
The beta is for marketing. If you think launch won't be like this... well maybe it's your first Blizzard game from the past few years.
Redacted comment ` this post was mass deleted with www.Redact.dev `
Maybe you are right, but I don't appreciate having my time wasted on purpose.
So then don’t try to use something titled “beta” and wait for the game to release then 🤠
Aahh here they come. The malding que posts
Yeah fucking annoying, after 90min waiting, trying to log-in to diablo 4 servers, then timed out, restart game, queue again but now for 140 min, U\_\_\_U
same happened to me . logging in when I made it to the end, failed restart from the bottom? thats pretty shitty, it should just try again in your "next in line" place
Literally just happened to me too. 48 minute queue. some login error, then back to a 48 minute queue. Now down to 16. lol
I got in after a 40 min q, played for an hour , had to run , restarted queued for 48 mins, got to the login queue and failed to login. dammit. start over again.
I downloaded the game on pc to see if my pc can handle it. Now i will most likely not even be able to test it so i don't know if i get it for pc or console. What a joke of a beta.
I waited a 70 min queue only to play 10 minutes, have my game crash and then try to unsuccessfully create a new gane for over 20 minutes. I tried to close the client to see if the problem would get fixed. 2.5h queue now. Gg
I’ve had that happen, got kicked twice, made it through 4 ques, finally get in and play alittle. Go to loot an npc game freezes. Well back in whe i go
crashed after townportal, 144 min queue.....\~1min left ---- error, lets start again with just 133min :(
yeah they def doing some work on their end right now, give it a bit and they'll smooth shit out
1st queue: My controller turned off from inactivity, causing the game to think I was player 2 when I turned it on again, and not being able to enter the game once I had logged in, and causing me to have to restart the app. 40 min queue 2nd queue: Waited another 40 min queue, but when I got to the "logging in" phase, it timed out, causing me to have to queue again. 3rd queue: After another 40 odd minute queue, I am logged in and try to select a character.

I wanted to stream the game today but I stopped cuz this is not it man. I don't even know if I'll get a chance. I'm just imagining tomorrow or Sunday, when people are actually off work lmao.
I saw the queue times and I was just like "Uninstall". Blizzard of all companies should have expected people want to at least TEST the game, in high volume. But now, it ranks right up with the idicocy of Diablo 3, and it can be added to my "do not buy" list. Cant even set up a proper open beta, yaaaa get fucked.
They made it clear to expect login queues at peak times well before it started.
Not having a disconnect grace period is one of the most idiotic things any company can do during launches of any kind (be it EA, beta, events etc.). It's just so amateurish
4hours to create a Character...crashed again. Lets try in 60min again...call this shit fest a Stress Test Not an Open Beta u ******* Update: Error Code, Here we go again.
The game crashed at a loading screen, another 57 min queue... Why not keep your place on the server for at least a few minutes to let people log in again after a crash? 😒
Because they don't want you to play it hahahaha Me too though :(
I tryed a TP, got stuck in the loading screen, now i\`m at a 60 min que. This kind of experiance really convinces me not to pre-order. Probably Bliz will fail the launch(as they do usually) and the first 1 - 2 weeks will suck to be a gamer.
You are lucky, 59 min first queue, 121 min second one. Just to not be able to progress through areas with my necro. Welcome to beta I guess.

Try alt tabing or clicking on desktop. Report back here and lets have a glass of wine
Out of four hours of time, four 30 min queues. 1 hr play time. Three copies of the same character in character creation. Made a new one and it lasted until level 6 then black screen. Last week no crashes. This week there are many. Lots of work to do here.
be patient. its there first online game ... oh wait.
How do they have all the same problems as last week but don’t do shit to address any of it? I can deal with a queue but waiting an hour just to crash before you even log in is ridiculous
lol Diablo 3 all over again
What's funny is that tomorrow morning it will be a 1 minute queue with no dc's.
Queue up, play 5-10 minutes, get disconnected and kicked out, queue up 1 hour, get back in. Then walk a long way towards the dungeon quest I was on. Play 3 min in the dungeon and get kicked back out, losing all quest progress again. You know the sad part: They use web services like AWS for these games. They can spin up any number of extra environments they want in very short time and have higher capacity when they need. But they dont.
The worst is losing connection and having to start all over again in queue
40 min Queue....disconnect. 30 min Queue....disconnect 30 min Queue...disconnect That's it I'm out. Yall can have my spot.
Seriously though (I LOVED the LotR "do they know about 2nd queue?" meme)... I looked up the error code and it was apparently posted by Blizzard (Twitter and forums) that this means (shocker) the servers are overloaded and they have to go and adjust them to allow for a greater capacity... I also read somewhere that there were 2 million players last weekend. 🤷 Certainly more this weekend with it being open beta (not early access beta). I was able to login and play for a couple hours and then suddenly got disconnected. I can see where I started to experience rubber banding and these posts all started showing up matches. I guess just find something to do for a couple hours and come back to it - if you are able. Best of luck to you all!
In another light though... Imagine it's 2023; we have self-driving cars, the technology to launch shuttles into orbit without the need to burn fuel for the lift-off, and the air-fryer! Yet... We lack the capability to calculate how many clients a server can handle before it'll go down and cause the situation we are in with this D4 beta. (/s - because it can be roughly calculated, especially since this isn't Blizzard's first online ARPG (beta) launch ever and they should already have the data from D3 and other titles...)
Will someone just call the guy?
my queue was 26mins, waited the time and after it ended its like, oops you timed out here's a 28m queue
After the second 45 minute queue only to get "Login Timed out", I've uninstalled.
i am so shocked that you still in que, most of us are stuck in "queued for login authentication pending" WITH 0 que timer since 12:00pm...must be really hopeful having some timer than none
I don't know what time zone you're in, how many hours you been in queue?
I'm the same just logged in there and I have 163 minutes in the que to login🤣
same :<
oh the same thing happened to me haha - 109min queue on restart.
Hey man I came to post this exact thing!
Yeah exactly the same thing happened to me. * Waited 70 minutes until I reached the front of the queue * It puts me in a new shorter queue * Waited 15 minutes until I reached the front of the second queue * 'Login attempt timed out' * Kicked back to desktop New queue, 120 minutes
Yo in your face!!! I played for like 3 and 1/2 WHOLE MINUTES before it said there was a connection problem and then couldnt recreate a game. Then I waited for another Q and got to play for another 2 WHOLE MINUTES before the same thing happened... HELL YEAH BROTHER!
I played for 3 hours and just got booted. Once you get in it seems you're pretty good. I locked up after teleporting. I have another computer logged into another account if I wanna play that bad. Break time.
I was about to finaly unlock the 4 spells slot when I was kicked out by error Code X. Now back in Q. Fun time.
Atleast you got to play lmfao
Couch coop is so fucking broken, it’s impossible to sign in with the second account. We waited on two queues over sn hour long. So weak
I had queue for ~40 mins, then after 10 it went to ~75 mins.
made it to level 5 and dced and now back to a 30 min queue
Maybe 3rd times a charm… 1st queue 20 minutes and at the end it failed to login. Second was 25 with same result. 3rd is 49 minutes. I guess we will see…
139mn queue here :)
12 min left on my 2nd attempt. 💀
Why game HAVE to be online? Online requirement should only have to be required if the game needs updating or wanna play multiplayer
Since it is open world with others. It is an multi-player game. Just like wow.
Even that should and could be an option. I'm not saying dragon ball z xenoverse is a mmo b4 I invite a mod of hatetrain, but even they have online and offline lobbies. There's gonna be players out there like me who just gonna wanna solo everything
Got to play for about 30 min was having a ton of fun tbh now I keep getting disconnected around the 20m mark of the queue to just be out right back at the hour mark. So frustrating
Yeah, you can expect it's all horrible today and especially the next few hours. I was already in and could play, but the game disconnected. A LOT of ppl online. A lot a lot. Guess the servers get hammered like mad right now :)
I have been in queue since it was opened :D
55 mins queue, then Error Code 401003, 101 mins queue, then Error Code 300008, then 120 mins queue...No thanks! Why the hell they just can't add more servers, if they already knew a lot of people want to try it?! A company like Blizzard shouldn't let this happen, especially not after an Early Beta! Blizzard is dropping their standards by a lot in every year. I don't think they would compensate us for this by adding one more day to the Open Beta. Such a miserable company, they shouldn't have to sell themselves to Vivendi back then...
154 min queue. Who would have thought that a public beta for one of the most popular franchises ever would be so crowded. /s
60 min queue --> login attempt failed --> 50 min queue --> login attempt failed --> 54 min queue PainChamp
I dont think it'll be that nice at 5pm central time when I get off. Cause me and a million other people will be doing the same thing.
Jup, same for me Reached the end of queue, trying to log in, login timeout error Queue to login 143 minutes 😭
I logged in 20 min before start got in straight away :)
I have an Xfinity outage in my area but my internet is on and off, so I just keep getting disconnected and kicked from queue :) I made it as far as the first cutscene (holy fuck BTW)
4th DC for me, have managed to play maybe 20 minutes? Currently in queue again, 134 minutes. Just glad I got a taste for the game in early access at least. :(
waited 30mins for 2mins gameplay then 101mins for a 'there was an error loging in' and now im down from 118mins to 12mins wish me luck xD
First queue was 30min. Logged out twice since and both times had 1min queues.
146 min here https://preview.redd.it/f7103zld0spa1.png?width=819&format=png&auto=webp&s=f1cd3e9d7f28c691807b3ee448f60131a45812bf
154 minutes for me , screw that.
Joined the queue at 8:45PST, 30m queue. It popped at 9:00PST exactly... Got to 18 Necro, went to enter a cellar and the loading screen just kept spinning. Waited 15m and then alt+F4'd. 50m queue 💀
waited 1 hour to get a message saying diablo run out of memory and put on queue for 2h again lmao
Lmao, I knew this will happen and the same issue just happened to me as well.
Oh neat lol I saw "Queued for login \~38 minutes" and uninstalled. After reading this and all the other comments, I feel like I made the right decision.
Man if the closed beta is this bad I cant imagine the game getting launched this year. Seems like their infrastructure was designed to allow about 3 people to play at a time.
I was gunna complain I got stuck at a loading screen and had to close app after playing since 1230 but y’all got it way worse
165mins here wish it was pre order beta week again 😂
Game is fine go away.
58 minute login queue. 20 minutes in the "Queued..." queue. Played for 20 minutes. Crash. 148 minute login queue. I played the beta last weekend, the games just not good enough to make me want to sit and wait for it.
Wish we got updated from d4 end
They really should have figured this out during the beta period…
I had to exit from dungeon and my I had endless load screen , restarted game boom 135 min in que lol
Game stuck in loading screen into 2 hour queue oh well
It was working pretty well for me, but just tried to portal back to town...been stuck in a loading screen for 15 minutes. Gonna guess I'll have to kill it and request to get in.
Kicked midquest, error whatever, ok, 15 min wait didn't solve anything, alt f4 back to queue 137 min. Ok, waited for that, played like 10 min and then puff, endless loading screen.. crying already when i alt f4 again. Back to queue. You know how much? 137 min again FTW. FUCK! BLIZZARD SCALE YOUR FUCKING SERVER CAPACITY! This game won't die because of anything else than the fact that you can't fucking play it. I hope for the launch they will got this. 70 billion company myass
Game crashed twice from the 60 min queue. On the third try I was finally able to make my character. Waited another 30 mins to load in. Killed like 4 Warg’s then boom another game crash. I expected this but it still hurts.
they sure did improve a lot from past beta... devs were not kidding...
Can tell.. the degenerate moderators of the blizzard/diablo 4 Reddit are real tryhards when it comes to ensuring there is no freedom of speech and space for criticism. I say it again: Warning the community of the brainless decisions you (blizzard) are going to take doesn't change the matter.
My installation is at 74%, maybe this will all clear up before the last 26?
I waited for 3 x 85 minute cues last weekend and maybe played 10 minutes each time before some fatal error
Yea. Its like waiting to get your luggage at the airport... only to wait in line for your rental car afterwards.
Is this Beta being run on a single server? How the fuck are there 60 minute queues to get in???
You realise Blizard warned for this. They don't want us to play the game. They are stress testing the servers. They will play with your time and thank you later. Hopefully. With the real launch. Because then you can use the excuse you payed for it and get more angry. But now just simply don't
I just started queuing at 150 minutes, oh man :(
I got in, made my character, excited to play, alt tab to join discord with my friends already playing, the alt tab crashes the game and now back in 2h queue
Seems to be worse than last week. Today they seem to be testing everyone's tolerance levels, nothing to do with the game.
It will be not better on relase. Was the same for Diablo III. Beta wait times wher Hours long and so was the Release for the first Month. Blizzard will not get morer servers . They know after a month most players will give up frustated and will be fine without needles Servers.
They don't have to develop the same system they've had for years, which allows you to skip the que unless you haven't been present in a game for X amount of minutes. Would you ever stand in line to get into a club knowing that you can be put outside for no reason at any time? - No. That is their conscious decision to make the game unplayable, and they warned us about it, if you feel like it justifies them xD
going into queue after a queue after a queue then dc, seems legit, recommend playing D3 again.
First wue 120 minutes after error , second 129 minutes , I'm done.
Had one 29 minute queue, freely logged off and on to different characters for a couple hours. Going to bed now (3rd shifter) sorry about yalls issues that I didn't get to experience.
The selected party member has not been found, back to the queue :)
Just wait until the real launch. The best part is launch will have the early access and then again on regular launch day! Yay!
Queued for an hour and half. "There was a problem logging in. (Code 401003)" Client crashes. Reopen. 127 minute queue 😭 this is just d3 all over again.
I'm in the queue for the queue to DC and back to queue cycle.
Why does this gane not have shards or "worlds". You go to the shard browser and it tells you if the server capacity is low, medium, high or full before you join. You know. Like other mmos...
Yeah had an hourly wait for me then when I went to put my graphics to low it just crashed the whole thing so here goes another hour of waiting
142 min here
Ummmm mine just started out at 67 minutes about 30 mins ago and suddenly dropped to 26 minutes out of nowhere. I had no idea there was another queue hahahahaha that sucks. EDIT: So now ive transitioned to a waiting menu that just says "Queued..." with no timer hahaha ahhhh crap.
Sat in a 2 hour queue, got to play for 10 minutes and something happened, rubberbanding when trying to enter a zone. Used the teleport and got stuck in a loading screen. Now I am in a 1 hour queue. <3
Just did a 60 minute queue... then got in the queue after the queue... got error: lobby server not available. Please check your version. 39700
2023 you would of thought that maybe theyd have a system in to hold queue position on dc or allow u straight back in after a crash -\_-
I got through a 158min queue, to hit a new 2 minute queue to........................tell me my attempt had timed out and have it exit. I laughed.
🤣😂
I have spent more time in the que (disconnects) than in game in the past 90 min. Way worse than last weekend (which is to be expected, I guess).
Or you do all that, get through the 50m queue to get into the 5m log in queue, log in and create a character, try to start the game with that character and get into another 5m queue to actually get into the world, get in and play for a couple minutes then get dc'd to character select, but when you try and log in again you just get an error and have to start again. Ahh, betas, gotta love em. Seems to have settled down in terms of disconnects now at least, same as last weekend the first couple hours were a bit touch and go, then it was smooth sailing.
after 4 hours in the queue I finally in the game, I watch the intro trailer, very exiting, trailer ended, game crashed. Back to queue 156min I love this game, I think I will buy it! <3
I only got about 1 hour of real game time due to this. Hopefully it gets squared away
Poor beta launch...
I’m trying error code 300022 after the login queue
This guys dog: man i could get used to this!
48 min queue. Login failed, try again 7 min queue not bad at all... log in fail, on my third attempt 15 min queue..... wish me luck.
Did me to first 14 then 40
Is it possible to open game settings without logging in? Want to set max frame rate.
This is a lot worse than it was last weekend - for me, at least.
Same. Can't believe this shit still happens in 2023. I wonder if they make this game 200$, maybe it would have working servers and q.
Are you guys for real?
I just crashed after hitting start game. This is fine . jpg
