Yeah this just sucks while all of my friends and clan mates are playing ptr and testing I can’t even start a game in ptr to test without the game freezing in the loading screen. C’mon blizzard get your **** together!

Well at least I know the MacOS 11 beta 9 works as well as anyone else’s scenario. Great QA before a PTR, eh! :laughing:

game started to get buggy and giving an error “your request timed out” or something and then logged me out and can’t log back in.
need to get some blues in here.

Windows 10 Pro, the same issue.

The Crash / Freeze issue that people are experiencing perhaps has something to do with the DDOS attack on the Blizzard Servers?

Or did no-one notice the Maintenance Alert message on the launcher app login screen that specifies this?

I have the same issue.
I’m on a Mac and reg game runs fine.
PTR gets stuck at loading screen

Yeah at this point I just wanted to help them fix things in PTR but since MacOS users like us are having trouble day 1 of PTR oh well guess I’ll be playing regular game for a while until they fix it. I just hope they get it fix by next week when actual PTR Season begins otherwise

Blizzard how can your players give feedback on the PTR if we can’t even get on the game and stuck on an infinite loading screen of death?

I played yesterday with no issues. Today I finished a game session and when I tried to Exit the game it froze up. After a few seconds I got the “not responding” error message. (See image below).

I’m playing on a PC, Win10 Pro 64-bit.

Edit: CPU = Intel I7 6700K

Same boat.
Win10 Pro 64-bit (1909 ver), i5-9600k/rtx 2060.
Normal D3 loads OK, PTR version hangs after showing D3:RoS logo.
Tried:

  • reinstalling;
  • reinstalling to dir without spaces in name;
  • 32 client option;
  • “-launcher” command line option;
  • check & recovery.
    Didn’t work out.
