Our team is currently working to resolve server performance issues. This error is a throttle occurring during the queue that will be tuned to allow many more players in as our developer resolves the performance issues.
Overall the recommendation is to wait 5-10 minutes and then try to log in again if you run into this error.
It is an odd error indeed, however once I’ve waited out the next 50 minutes (eta) I’ll make sure to throw in another 15 minutes of not having Battlenet or Diablo 4 running and try again, should the error persist.
what? I’ve been in two hour + queues and have gotten this error. Authentication process doesnt start until login queue is done… your reasoning for this error does not make sense.
so you expect people to be understanding when all streamers come in without problems and have 4 min queues but the rest of us who pre-purchased the game have to wait 100 min in queue and still not get in because you think streamers are more important than ordinary people
Yeah, well, it’s something to try if we’re going to bash the queue anyway (I share your sentiment that it’s unlikely to do anything for the license validation). I’ll keep the top post updated as we go along.
This isn’t really functional as I have now gone through 2 hour+ queues just to get this error. I get that it’s a beta but jfc this is ridiculous. I was able to kill 4 creatures before getting dropped and have not seen character select since 12:04
