same thing happened during the server slam. Guess they didnt have enough budget to fix this. Complete and utter BS!
See this makes no sense. Iām on a 7200 rpm platter and have same issues. I am installing it on my primary ssd now though, non nvme. It is the only thing left I can think to try.
switching drives at all must be the fix, idk if itās an ssd thing
Yes, I switched drives. Works fine now. No longer on same drive I had beta installed on. Not sure if that matters.
edit: windows will prompt firewall after your create your toon.
If its crashing at the Blizzard screen or after that if you quickly spam click, try this answer.
Are those of us with only one drive just screwed?
Still no luck here i got in one time but then i crashed once more in the opening film, and after countless attemps im still unable to load in thus all the good tips for this threadā¦
Mine is on a SSD drive, still doesnāt fix the problem
if you have any overlays running like nvidia, close them down, I had to kill them in task manager and it worked for me, still get a lock up at bootup but killed it in task manager and the next time the game started properly for me. I also had to move the game off my NVME Drive to a HDD to get it to stop freezing at the blizzard starting splash screen. (did not have theses problems in the beta weekends)
Uninstall/disable Nvidia Gaming Experience Overlay before starting D4
No matter what I do, I canāt get past the first Blizzard screen, it just doesnāt respond after playing music for like 5 secondsā¦ I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING! I have spent over 2 hours trying to get into the game, I have removed every overlay, I have re installed multiple times. Nothing is working, I feel so drained right now
Same here, and I have the specās to play the game.
Yup me too, got a new PC recently, 3070, 32gb, M.2 1tb ssd and allā¦ I donāt know what else to do, all my friends are way ahead now and Iām just stuck on this bullsh*t screen
Try this and post in the comments if it works for you. Itās worked for several people:
Doesnāt work but thanks anyways
For what itās worth. Iām thinking it may be an admin/permission issue.
I initially thought it was ssd NVME related. But the user above saying theyāre on an HDD makes me raise an eyebrow.
Common threads seem to be windows/firewalls or user access controls asking for permission issues from blizzards end.
From my experience, everything worked fine until some time last evening when mid game I lose all ability control but movement. I could still take damage, move, and even talk to NPCs. But nothing else. Restarted game and was met with the same issue as everyone.
Iām thinking the reason the drive swap works, isnāt about hdd bs nvme. But rather, read, write and admin privileges on the file system and whether or not that has access to and from blizzards server.
Same issue. Can not get past Blizzard logo and if I do its a blank black screen. I played early afternoon just fine. Logged off and came back to this. Paid extra for early access to be unable to play. Thatās not okay
having similar issues. not happy having paid extra for early access and I can get past the giant BLIZZARD intro screen
Mutliple threads on this, main āsolutionā thread has the answer (Option 4) rename dstorage.dll to dstorage.dllbkp (donāt delete) Something to do with direct storage on nvme drives is causing the game to freeze up at boot.
