make sure you are looking at wyoming’s trouble shooting thread
and if anything, it will probably just have to wait for tomorrow. maybe they will extend the beta 1 more day because of it, idk
just don’t do what everyone else is doing here and get mad. because that is useless
its like being mad at a full restaurant for not getting your order done quick enough
it’s almost like this could’ve all been avoided by not making everyone market for blizzard for free first and just letting us have beta access out the gate
The information provided is pointless and does not do anything - the issue is on Blizzard’s end
Are you 100% sure about that?
Yes (20 characters required)
And how can we reliably determine that?
Been over 2 hours since I claimed my twitch drop and still can’t download the beta. Just crazy how bad things are running.
Then they should have built more doors. Servers are scalable you know? They totally could have anticipated this.
Let me put it this way. Let’s say tons of people can’t download the beta because they have a setting different on their PC. That’s still Blizzard’s fault. They should have tested that and let people know WAY ahead of time to say “please change this obscure setting before the beta and if you do that you will be able to download the game on the 27th”.
And it’s not even that man! There’s no setting to fix, there’s nothing you can do to get it to reliably get it to download. The comment is literally:
ATTENTION EVERYONE! PLEASE BE PATIENT IF YOU CLAIMED YOUR DROP! Please remember to check your BattleNet account on occasion it may take some time before the access is granted after you claim your drop.
It’s on Blizzard’s end, there isn’t something in your Windows that is wrong. I get you and me probably have different opinions about Blizzard but let’s be a little objective here, if we’re asking “are we sure it’s on Blizzard’s end” I think we are being intellectually dishonest about what we are seeing
No, I think our opinions of Blizzard itself still line up, but I’m still not sure how this proves twitch doesn’t have a hand in the latency of the drop/confirmation being sent to blizzard. For all we know it could be both. If someone who understood exactly how this communication works could tell us that would be different. This isn’t about Windows.
Why not have the beta download be available before today then if Twitch was going to be an issue? It could be in the background instead and not playable until today. There’s so many solutions other than this.
Now that would have been a good idea yes
so the thought it was going to be 12 people playing ?
…bud
please tell me you didn’t think I was being literal
PLEASE tell me you didn’t think I was being 100% literal
you had an example to give & you pick 12 why didnt you pick 1 million since everyone knows the average player count for OW
because I just picked a number that I thought of randomly man, I dont know how many requests blizzard’s servers (That are doing this whole thing, not the game ones) can handle at any given time
its not like they are new to the industry or have 70billion …nope its not that at all . its all about planning ahead of time.
me waiting over three hours: oops still not there lmao!
then like
try tomorrow bro
To be clear, are you also stuck at “OW2 beta” not appearing in your drop down menu? Just wanna make sure I’m stuck at the right place lol.
