they just updated and patch wont come out tell monday but maybe this evening for pc
We did have some other items that did pass through QA checks and will be providing additional details on those here later today. This will be a PC patch.

The earliest fix being monday? Why even launch close to the weekend if this is the case…

Maybe I’m wrong but that’s what the latest post seemed to convey.

Well im sure they didnt know this would happen lol

they knew it, in beta happened once for a few minutes, so yes, they knew it that can happen.

It’s Friday on their cube crawls leave them alone!

You would think a company this size would have contingency plans and staffed scheduled to work overtime to address things like this as they arise… Especially knowing how many pre-orders they had, it’s not like they didn’t expect problems on the first few days…

Having no available fixes till Monday and character lockouts indefinite, I feel like management is doing a terrible job.

a junior dev :laughing: FFS this 20 characters is such a bad thing in this forum!

I mean someone at the company decided it was enough to just have a few days of online beta testing so don’t get your hopes up

Beta actually was a lot better. No character lockouts, no server issues… Give us back beta

I love me some rod ferguson but disappointed…gears never had this problem!

Some of the issues should be fixed today. AVX is pushed to next Monday a the earliest. You can follow along here.

These issues absolutely were present in beta, they just ignored them.

This is definitely a situation that deserves overtime and call ins to report back. Given how bad their PR is lately, they could use a victory. Cheaping out on staffing over the weekend is just going to cost them down the line.

If it isn’t resolved this weekend I seriously doubt I’ll be buying any blizz product in the future. I don’t want the headache and other developers have been able to manage smooth launches or I can just stick to single player titles that are actually finished. Games as a live service doesn’t seem to be working out and they have a history of releasing unfinished products now.

There were both in Beta. Quite a few got the lockout bug and many had DCs. The only issue I don’t recall in Beta is the AVX requirement which is keeping some folks from playing at all.

It stands to reason of course, if Beta had those they would have fixed it?

this means we all gonna be unstuck today?

Bruh!!! I thought i was in! Then error :rofl:

That is the current plan, if whatever they dare doing works. It seems they did some with an automated tool and others are going to take manual help to repair.

Reading the blue post tho…in all seriousness, he says to try every 15-30 mins…cool ok ill do that. Lets say i do get into a game…and if i leave and make another i have to keep trying another 15-30? I feel The people playing are still in the same game afraid to leave lol
