Anyone else having trouble creating or joining games tonight?

General Discussion
#1

ever since around noon today, having tons of trouble joining or creating games.

screen hangs up on the black screen with the diablo 2 logo in the bottom right, whenever i exit a game. doesn’t matter if it’s a public game like a baal run, or a private solo game. it’s so persistent sometimes i’m having to alt-F4 out of the game completely, and restart and rejoin battlenet.

also having trouble joining games. the box will pop up that says it’s joining the game, then it’ll freeze for a full minute, then go back to the lobby and say the game is no longer available.

I’ve noticed some issues tonight as well, mainly slow load into games, and black screen hang upon exiting that switches me to the offline tab once it clears. Also noticed that the usual 1 queue less than two minutes hadn’t been appearing when I log onto bnet.

I’m having the issue as well. So far, only quitting everything and remaking solves it but it makes my p8 chains very difficult to host

It’s for the true d2 experience. We get to have issues loading games and when we do, you teleport into a group of mobs but have no idea for 15 seconds because you hit 3k ping from teleporting once.

I think they are getting another DDOS attack… same thing happened a few weeks ago and again last week if I am not mistaken.

NOTHING wrong with being an omnivore, nothing at all.

Been seeing several black screens while loading, even one right after the DII intro logo, failures to connect, have to repeatedly click the “Online” tab. Some of the black screens are very long, so I end up Alt+F4ing and restarting. Once I get in the game though it plays fine, no random disconnects or anything, ping is fine.

Authentication servers having issues maybe?
