As one of the most anticipated games of the year, gamers are excited to sink their teeth into Diablo 4, but are plagued by frustratingly long queue times. If you’re experiencing long lag times and errors related to login and connection, here’s what you need to know.
How long are Diablo 4 queues? (Explanation about long waiting time)
Diablo IV queues are too long due to overloaded servers and the waiting times are up to 1.5 hours. If you are unlucky enough to get a login error and be automatically kicked out of the queue, you will be put back in 60+ minutes. The best thing to do from now on would be wait until it is No rush hours in your area. We tried to get into the beta in the morning and the wait times were significantly shorter (10 minutes).
Update from Blizzard
The developers tweeted with the official @devil account, mentioning that they are aware of the issues affecting the early access Beta. The team is also working on server disconnections and bugs that appear during this time. Keep an eye on their Twitter account for any updates on shorter wait times.
We are aware of issues affecting Open Beta Early Access, causing long wait times and server disconnections.
The team is managing the rate of players entering the game until we have a full solution for the connection issues.

Diablo 4 beta has seen an overwhelming response from players, so the game’s community manager has posted an update on the Blizzard forum. Check it out below.
Please see below for an update on the queue situation and some of the items the team is tracking and actively working to resolve.
Players are sometimes unable to party with other players while in-game.
Players who are removed from a game receive an error that their party does not exist.
Rubber bands are produced with players during the transition between zones.
High RAM and GPU usage on select hardware.
Let’s hope that the waiting times are shortened, the servers are stabilized and players can quickly enter the world of Diablo 4. We will cover all about it in our Diablo IV Guides section at GamerTweak.
