FULL STORY
======================================================================

 Diablo 4 players with early access are struggling to log in due to ongoing 
issues with Blizzard's authentication servers. 

The problem first came to light on Diablo 4's subreddit , with players 
reporting problems with accessing the server. It seems that after selecting 
their character, players are told "queued for game  start game pending"... 
and then nothing happens. At all. 

In the last half hour, Blizzard has acknowledged the issue on its social 
media channels, stating: "Diablo 4: We're currently investigating an issue 
affecting our authentication servers, which may result in failed or slow 
login attempts." [#Diablo4] We're currently investigating an issue affecting 
our authentication servers, which may result in failed or slow login 
attempts. June 3, 2023 See more 

As yet there's been no further update, but at least we know that Blizzard is 
on the case, eh? 

For the most part, it looks like Diablo 4 has gotten off to a refreshingly 
smooth early access launch period across most platforms well, unless you're 
playing on PS5 , that is. 

Some players reported that, despite having purchasedDiablo 4 's Deluxe or 
Ultimate editions , they were struggling to get past the login phase for the 
four-day early access period. 

We awarded the action RPG an impressive five out of five stars, calling it "a 
meticulously crafted action RPG [that] sets a new standard for isometric, 
open-world adventures". 

"Perhaps Diablo 4s most adventurous quality is the move towards an open world 
in the 'modern' sense," we wrote in our Diablo 4 review . 

"What could have been a featureless, bland expanse is, instead, a delight. 
Brimming with intrigue and danger, the open world of Sanctuary fits the 
Diablo formula like a glove, providing the space in which the games macabre 
aesthetic and bold mechanical design cohere beautifully."
