Game Freezes entering portal or opening inventory

Technical Support
49

I found a solution to this problem for myself.
When we try to interact in the game, a request is sent:

[Sigma] [tact] [:0]: cURL request 'http://us.cdn.blizzard.com/tpr/fenris/data/28/84/2884297cca1526ff70530535405ced8a' failed with 28: Timeout was reached

Until the request receives a response, the game freezes.

To make the request return a response immediately without waiting, I blocked access to it in Windows. After doing this, the freezes stopped in the game.

Solution:

  1. Navigate to:
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
  1. Add the following lines to the hosts file:
127.0.0.1 us.cdn.blizzard.com
127.0.0.1 eu.cdn.blizzard.com
