A friend of mine had at least 8 times on both closed and open. Was just randomly, the first 3 times easily passed 2-3 hours for him, when he found out that he could do this swap he done at least 5 more times when needed. They didn’t fixed on beta, but appears that issue doesn’t happen anymore, but the new one appears to be a bit more trickier to solve

13+ hours and counting.
Do something blizzard!!! We can’t play your game!!! On Twitter every few seconds someone is posting having this same issue.
in PD2 i think the key was to actually join the same game where your character is stuck, not the opposite, but doubt it will help those who are already stuck for hours lol

I got stuck in some random baal game trying to vendor an item.
Sat there for a couple of minutes with a “confirming transaction” message before I just force quit and restarted the game.
Then TADA, stuck. Can’t join anything.
No chance I will remember the name of that game to even give that a try lol.
So the issue was from d2 itself, fascinating. This 20th year old never stops to surprise me.
On beta and sometimes on d2r you’re unable to enter in the game, as if the game gets locked from the outside, yesterday a friend of mine needed to “remake” his room to make me be able to join him. Even typing the room name and pass correctly.
On beta worked to create a new game with other character because could avoid both problems. But appears this issue is related to something else.
yes every single issue ive seen listed so far originates from the old 2000 diablo 2 game lol

In the original, it would block you from logging into bnet at all, before the character select screen. It had a similar “this account is already online” type message.
But that would usually clear up in like ~ 5-10 minutes.
This is on another level.

I played most of my time single player and online(solo). I never had any issue like that in the past til d2r beta. World is a funny place, if you didn’t said maybe I would never knew
One would think that an issue big as this would make any company work around the clock, giving updates, acknowledge the issue, restart servers and tweet about how sorry they are for this messup… We get NOTHING from these clowns…
At this point i wouldn’t be supprised if they came out and said, “Well it’s you all who played to much who made it this way in the first place so its actually yours (the players) fault”
the bugs were there but not as bad due to the game servers having a much lower population. it happened for at least 2 weeks during the launch of the modded online d2 called Project Diablo 2, which the devs for that mod deemed unfixable due to server pop.

Tbh most of my time were single player because online had pings like 20000-32000 on early days. Only way later I could play around 1000-3000ms online, often played solo. Never had experienced anything like this.
D2 never had much servers and most of them were too far from the place I live.
At least my worst latency on d2r so far is 220ms. The best was 32ms, but most of the time is stable around 80-160ms.

Since 8 hours ago I can’t play softcore anymore in any region (americas, europe, asia). Trying to create/join games with my existing softcore characters I get error messages as below:
“Failed to Enter Game. This character is already in a game on the server. Please try again later.”.
“An issue occurred while communicating with the game servers. Please check that you are connected to the internet and try again.”
If I try to create a new softcore hero and create/join game, it says: “Error creating game” or “Join failed”.
Strangely, hardcore hero can be played.
May I know how much longer I need to wait to be able to play d2r? Many people are currently playing w/o issues and gaining unfair advantage! I also got paid time off from my work to play d2r, i guess i wasted my vacation days in vain?

ont feel bad… I took my only two days of PTO for this, and ive been stuck not being able to play sense last night
its been 24 hours and i still get the logged in bug and black screen on sc in my online gaming history which is 20+ years i never had a more awfull release than this lol… im glad blizzard employees slept well and working on it now.
not blizzard they went to bed when the shift was over lol
With how many people this is happening to and how many posts i have seen some of which were 18+ hours old and not a single response to what they are doing to fix this leaves me to believe that they simply do not care about any of us.

This doesn’t happen on Project Diablo 2 or Path of Diablo… this problem did not exist on original Bnet.
Have played them both at season launches. Have played D2 LOD for probably 10k hours. Why are you lying to try to cover blizzards incompetence?
It did happen on PD2’s launch, quite disastrously actually since he admitted he could do nothing to fix it but wait it out and restart every three hours.
And it did, and does without doubt exist on the original Bnet.
No one is defending them, quite the contrary. Not sure how you missed that.
