PC version of game no longer loads following todays updates

I have had no issues loading the game on pc previously but since 22-Jan-25(Patch happened today) the game is not loading or starting properly. It never makes it to the server selection page, screen shot available upon request and it stays at that loading screen indefinitely. Below is troubleshooting to date…

-All drivers up to date for hardware amd Windows OS. None recently installed either that would of impacted the game since yesterday or last restart.
-Restarted pc multiple times, same results.
-Repaired game files, same results.

Machine/Setup
Processor: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12-Core 4.2ghz
Installed RAM: 64GB
OS: 64-bit Windows 11 Pro, 23H2
Video: NVidia GeForce RTX 2070, 8gb DDR6
SSD Hard Drive

Instructions for how to link it…

If you are still having issues on logging in, here is what I did to fix it.

I had experienced the same issue before, the game is stucked on the first loading screen and even if I leave it on for hours it won’t enter the server selection screen.

Here are the things that I did that somehow fixed the issue:

  1. Uninstall the game
  2. Uninstall battlenet launcher
  3. Clear cache files
  4. Delete temp files
  5. Update drivers
  6. Install launcher and Diablo

Hope it helps you with your issue!

PS. Re-installing only the game without the other steps will fix the issue temporarily but after exiting the game and logging in the next day the issue will come back (I even re-installed it twice to make sure but the issue comes back after restarting the game)

I have this issue since one week or so, never before: loading can take forever (but eventually the game starts). It often hangs at “99%” in the “updating files” messages. Deleting “DX cache” and stuff can temporarily fix it but I think it’s a general issue. Since I did not changes anything on my PC and never had problems like this before. GeForce drivers are the same by the way in my case (not the newest).
