So I it seems to load only in windowed mode with sound disabled. Once the game starts I can re-enable the sound and it keeps working.
It may also be that after restarting the game enough times I just got lucky and it loaded.
I love your potatoes. Keep it up!
You would think that a 4+ gig patch would get some proof-reading before they enable it. Its stuff like this that makes me hate online only games…
Same here
Stuck a blizzard screen on my pc and can’t get through.
Works fine on ps5 though.
Chiming in to let folks know that the team is investigating the issue. Thank you to all the folks reporting, and also sharing workarounds that have worked for them. As news comes from the team, we will share and update folks here.
Thank you for your patience!

Ya, at first it hung at first Blizzard screen, I uninstalled then re-installed and it told me I need Windows 10 or higher… I completely deleted every single Blizzard, Battle.net, Diablo folder from my hard drive, removed my AMD driver for GPU, re-installed that, sfc /scannow my PC, re-installed for the 3rd time today and back to hanging on first Blizzard screen at launch…
I also can not get in. Tried some of the workarounds but nothing is working. Just a few hours till my weekend is over and I just wanted to slay some monsters and get some loot. Bummer.
The Alt-Enter windowed mode worked once. I played for around 1 hour and then the game froze in a Helltide. I couldn’t get back in. I’m done with playing until this gets fixed. There needs to be more play testing or bring back the public test realm strategy. Very frustrating to have a stable game and then game breaking bugs after a patch. I wasted more time trying to get around the bug than playing tonight.

Pretty disappointing the state that these patches and seasons launch in. Please give in and allow a PTR of some sort so somebody can test and improve your game for you.

Seriously disappointed at this point in the lack of competency. It was reported 7 hours ago and still no fix?

I can’t understand how Blizzard releases a patch so poorly done that many, many players on PC can’t even enter the game, everything freezes, either at the Startup screen or at Queuq’s message to enter the character screen, or load us into the game. We bought the game to play, it is unacceptable not to test it on their computers. AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, FIX THIS, or cancel the patch so that those who play on PC can at least get into THE GAME. ABSURD.

My issue began before today’s patch. Same symptoms most people stated. However it only happens on loading/transition screens
It took 5 hours for the community manager to say something.
