    @PezRadar Servers are issue now. Characters in game but can’t join

  • WhiteKnuckleJoe The Central Scrutinizer (@WhiteKnuckleJoe) reported

    @BlizzardCS @PezRadar Servers are down yet again. Why did i pre-order this again? I was able to play for an hour, took a break for dinner and BOOM servers have crapped out and no real word from Blizzard. Classic. Looks like I’ll be disputing these charges on my card. More broken games.

  • JustinIsbell11 Justin Isbell (@JustinIsbell11) reported

    @PezRadar My problem is it still days I'm in a game but I'm not and I can't join.

  • RealAsianRobot RealAsianRobot 🤖 (@RealAsianRobot) reported

    @PezRadar #Diablo2Resurrected - Items in the Horadic Cube are not identified via Deckard Cain. This was a feature in the original diablo 2? Why was it removed? I have to take items out to get them identified. Please fix

  • Blo_od_ Yohan (@Blo_od_) reported

    @PezRadar #Diablo2Resurrected Character Progress on Online is NOT saved. Lost 40 minutes on my Necromancer. Seriously. fix please!

  • HabitzGaming Habitual (@HabitzGaming) reported

    @PezRadar Nothing better than spending what little time you have than leveling only to be rolled back levels then having the "character already exists" error.... 20+ years and getting old D2 errors lol.

  • _Tristan21_ Tristan 🐺 (@_Tristan21_) reported

    @RodFergusson @PezRadar Fix the servers

  • Genesis_Bk2 Genesis BK2🇨🇦⚜️ (@Genesis_Bk2) reported

    @PezRadar @RodFergusson Hey server issue on ps4 cant play anymore lol

  • TempsterGG Tempster (@TempsterGG) reported

    @PezRadar And fix your **** servers while you are at it.

  • Sughizo Lee Kim Kee (@Sughizo) reported

    @PezRadar Id rather go for death then to suffer the login issues like a standard Blizzard launch game!

  • dez__ph Diego Z. (@dez__ph) reported

    @PezRadar we got confirmed in the forum by a blizzard admin that AVX was quote "mistakenly enabled in the launch build", it wasn't in the beta. also, cyberpunk had the exact same issue and there was a day1 fix by changing just 1 byte in the .exe with a hex editor. hope that helps

  • JimmyFunnellCFC Jimmy Funnell / / CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE (@JimmyFunnellCFC) reported

    @PezRadar Can the issue be resolved or have we just lost an hour of playtime, Adam? Just asking to know whether or not it makes sense to make a new char..

  • CoachEgghead Whiskey Lovin' Dad🥃 (@CoachEgghead) reported

    @PezRadar @Amirxl @BlizzardCS Sucks having pre-paid for this, played Beta w/o issue, downloaded early, then have to sit & watch streamers on Twitch play because of an oversight? Problem will be that Blizz will move on with little more than an oops & half-hearted apology. QA a little lacking imo. 10 1/2 hrs

  • anthony5900 Anthony powell (@anthony5900) reported

    @PezRadar Not char issue for me just cannot create or join a game on private or online. Server issues or just a knock on effect from char issues ?

  • ovieczkin1987 Ovieczkin1987 (@ovieczkin1987) reported

    @BlizzardCS @PezRadar Still same issue.Trying to log in on PS5 in EU

  • Bear_Diablo Diablo (@Bear_Diablo) reported

    @PezRadar Ohh really? ******* blizzard learn nothing.... Diablo 3 error 37, diablo 2 resurrected open beta check internet connection, diablo 2 resurrected release, guess what? ******* not working

  • NondescriptNpc Nondescript NPC (@NondescriptNpc) reported

    @BlizzardCS @PezRadar That's neat, my best friend flew over 4 states and took 2 days off so that we could sit here and act like this game was never beta tested for server issues.

  • Amirxl Amir (@Amirxl) reported

    @BlizzardCS @PezRadar #Diablo2Resurrected Friend can't launch D2R but played beta perfectly. i7-860. Some mentioned AVX is needed? is there a fix or work around for this?

  • Disylus Disylus (@Disylus) reported

    @PezRadar @JimmyFunnellCFC Everyone in our party of 90 on psn is getting the same error messages. Ab issue occurred while communicating. No one can get in

  • viobaems viobaaem (@viobaems) reported
