Unlocking Diablo 4 Beta is imminent: those who pre-order are going down to hell today at 17 PM to smack terrifying monsters and giant monsters. The biggest rush is expected next weekend, when the action role-playing game goes into open beta, accessible to all players. Blizzard prepares for server stress testing: In the support area, developers provide information about issues, delays and disconnections as a precaution. The launch this afternoon will show if Diablo 00 Beta will have server outages, login issues, and error messages.
Error messages, server outages and crashes: As a precaution, Blizzard has set up a point of contact for potential issues that may arise around Diablo 4 beta. In the "Connection and latency issues" support article, the developers seem to want to collect all reports of potential bugs in the testing phase over the course of the two beta weekends. Before launch, the help article is divided into three sections: 'Diablo 4 lagging', 'I'm having high latency while playing Diablo 4' and 'My Diablo 4 connection keeps dropping'. Of course, this does not mean that these problems and error codes will actually appear at the start of the beta.
But the truth is that Diablo 4 is now playable by the general public for the first time. Those who pre-order the action role-playing game will receive a download key that allows them to join the beta early access. A much larger stress test is expected for the servers next weekend, after which Diablo 4 beta will begin in public play - all interested monster hunters can participate. If there are issues, crashes, and error messages, Blizzard should expand the support article with appropriate solutions. The makers also recommend the “BlizzardCSEU_DE” Twitter channel to keep in mind. Information about possible server outages, error codes and other problems should be collected here.
Diablo 4 Server Unreachable: Connection and latency issues
In the "Diablo IV Console Connection Troubleshooting" help article, the developers address latency and server timeout issues. If you notice high latency or annoying lags on Playstation or Xbox, you should reset your network devices. Therefore, it is recommended to restart the router. If you have connected your console to your router via WLAN, Blizzard recommends optimizing the Internet connection - details on this can be found at the link. It also checks the network configuration to troubleshoot firewall, router, or port settings. It also tests the NAT settings.
Beta crashes: crashes and misfires
Diablo 4 crashes, freezes or hangs: In another support entry, Blizzard is mainly referring to the PC version of the action role-playing game. If the beta crashes with a blue screen, you should first make sure you have the latest drivers installed. Also note that your PC meets the Diablo 4 system requirements. If this is not the case, D4 can still be started. However, Blizzard writes that this can lead to "unknown bugs, crashes, or performance issues that cannot be resolved." It also checks if programs running in the background are causing Diablo 4 beta to crash or not working properly. It's best to close all other programs you don't need while playing. Repair corrupted game files using the repair tool in the Battle.net launcher. It is also recommended to disable VPNs and proxies.
It is not yet clear whether there will actually be error codes when Diablo 4 Beta is activated or over the course of the two weekends. We hope players got rid of annoying login issues and timeouts. Diablo 3 players may reluctantly recall Error 37. He came straight from hell, as our colleagues at Buffed.de aptly put it at the time. Diablo 4 Beta runs from March 17-20 (for pre-orders) and March 24-27 (Open Beta for all). The kickoff will take place today at 17:00 on PC, Playstation and Xbox. The full version will be announced on June 6th.
