I find it ironic that people are complaining about frequent maintenance periods that last approx 1 hr. I am thankful that Blizzard is taking the time it needs to address bugs, server performance etc. I do not think allowing them an hour to work on something is too much to ask even if its multiple times a week. Go get some fresh air, take a walk, catch up on current events something. If they were not actively fixing things the same people would be complaining

they arent even lasting an hour everytime at this point.

They can do maintenance every day if they want, but stop calling it scheduled, when half the time the notice doesn’t show up until half an hour before the maintenance happens, call it what it really is, unscheduled or emergency maintenance.

That is not ironic.
Good time to make breakfast, go on a walk, listen to music, and look at forums. Duh!
I hope they fix the DirectX 12 graphic issues soon. Been happening before pre-patch and only recently was I able to determine the cause, and strangely it was from the General Discussion forum of all places.
to be honest, even if it were every day for an hour, That’d be fine. 60 minutes out of a 24 hour day so the game is kept up and running right is a small price to pay.
7am is my only time to play before work. I feel like hurling many expletives your way
it is scheduled , just means they didnt tell us earlier, they 100% knew it was happening way ahead of time at this exact time.
That’s gonna take time, sadly. Pinpointing what’s causing the fragmenting and such is not an easy feat, and DX seems pretty weird to toy with from what I heard.
At least going back to 11 is fixing it for now. Hopefully Blizzard continues to support 11 until 12 can be fixed.

Yeah 11 is more stable. AFAIK they don’t remove a direct x version until it’s 2 versions out of date, but don’t quote me on that.

I saw today’s maintenance notice last night before raid (9PM EST), and it was on my Battle.net launcher AND login screen.
So either 13 works fine or 12 gets fixed. If that’s the case then I’ll live.

I remember when maintenance was MULTIPLE hours on Tuesdays. When I stayed home sick from school those days it sucked lol

I saw it when I got home from work around 5:45 PST last night. Maybe actually update your launcher? If you leave your PC on and the launcher open, it won’t update properly.
Yesterday maintenance only lasted 22 mins…today its 42 mins and realms are up.

God I remember calling out of school once on a Tuesday and couldn’t play until I would be home from school anyway.
Do you have a DX12, or 12.1 graphics card? I am running the game in DX12, and have had no problems. Using a RTX 1060Ti OC.
Only down side is I didn’t see a fix for the inconsistent tag limits at the various elemental storm events. No way it’s intended to be that way.
Yes, I have a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 which supports DirectX 12_1.
