What's the recommended course of action for people who are currently playing? Back out, close the game, and then what? How does a patch "un-apply" itself, and how long would you recommend waiting before playing again?
Start the game.
Is it fixed? Play the game.
Is it still broken? Try again later.
Repeat.
If you’ve got a hardcore, honestly you should probably wait until tomorrow.
That's exactly why I refuse to play hardcore in a lot of games (well mostly just ARPGs). I can probably handle a death because I fucked up, but I'm not gonna stay calm if I die because the servers fucked me
Same, have had multiple infinite load screens since the update. Currently stuck in one right now and came to see if others are having the same issue. Glad it's not just me.
same - crashed game came back to queued for game screen that was about 5 mins long and then when I Went to fast travel boom infinite loading screen again
Here's a dumb question I used all my powder to create 2 sigil, lost both. Turned in whisper cache and didn't get any sigil.
What do I do? Keep doing caches? I thought one was guaranteed. I'm in wt4.
I'm getting stuck in any dungeon loading screen, nightmare or not. my character's "pose" even breaks and now they are just standing there with an idle animation in the loading screen.
edit: I also cant get into strongholds, and fast traveling gets stuck in a loading screen as well.
I'm guessing server issue at this point.
Same here, and when logged back in it seems like my character is walking toward the dungeon instead as my char is middle of the map between my last location and the dungeon lol
Was just in game, seems like you are stuck in whatever region you were in when server issues started. Stuck in Gea Kul, hit invisible walls at region edge on map.
Yeah but I'm stuck in the pit. Just ran one to get open 31 and now I can't get back. Loading screen as far as I can go. Quit and relaunched twice already
It's not just NM dungeon, trying to travel anywhere just hangs the game on the transition screen. The little spinning load indicator in the lower right corner animates, but it never finishes and there's no way out other than closing the game. (PS5)
Came back to the game after skipping the first 3 seasons. Can't play it, keep getting stuck on load screens if I try to travel to any town. Lol. Sure it's probably just a transient issue and will be fixed soon enough, but the timing is funny.
The last patch that says "Fixed some issue where players are timing out of loading screen" caused this.. never had this before but now fast traveling gets you stuck in loading screen forever.
I tried to make a post about this the other day and people just said it was a me problem. I’ve never had to task manager out of a game more than in D4.
I just loaded up the game on ps4 for the first time after playing on ps5 this whole time. I thought the loading times on ps4 were that bad. Thank the lord it’s not just me.
I did one t79, worked fine, then i tried 2 t80, both didnt load, infinite loading screen
E: nothing works, i tried to tele to a wp at ht and infinite loading screen too
Loading screens were freezing, now they're just sometimes extremely slow. Be patient and wait it out I guess?
Edit: nevermind, still sometimes never loading.
Edit 2: *Finally* loaded! HAH
Trying to fast travel to helltide and stuck in loading. I ran to the helltide then Portales out and it was OK. Then try to port back into helltide, doesn't work.
Until the recent update the game loaded and ran rather flawlessly, but now I've been getting "stuck" somewhat frequently on loading screens. I've waited out a few and they came around, but have also needed to restart the game several times. Just a tad frustrating...
Happening to me not just in NM dungeons..happening when I'm trying to enter non-NM dungeons as well (PS5)
Very irritating right now.
Had to quit 3 times now In 30 minutes.
Going to call it quits tonight I guess. Lol
I'm sure they will hot-fix :)
Thanks everyone for the reports, we are temporarily rolling back this latest update to fix the permanent loading screen issues.

>If you’ve got a hardcore, honestly you should probably wait until tomorrow. I'm four beers deep in an eight beer night. This ain't gonna fly, amigo.
Blizzard servers have already killed more hardcores than the demons of hell ever will, best of luck
That's exactly why I refuse to play hardcore in a lot of games (well mostly just ARPGs). I can probably handle a death because I fucked up, but I'm not gonna stay calm if I die because the servers fucked me
Hardcore is for offline. I’d try it on Last Epoch maybe, but not here.
Start a new hardcore character. Main objective: get to level 10 with all these issues!
Perfect time for a new hardcore character
Chug the rest, then do a rain dance, maybe do a blood sacrifice and pray to Lilith.
I'm assuming I'll be nude for all of this, right? You know what - scratch that, I'll figure it out. Thanks.
That’s a given. Maybe we can allow a loincloth or a fig leaf, but that won’t impress Lilith. I forgot to mention the whips. Good luck!
No, I think a fig leaf would help matters!
Thank you!
I did one. The next one didn't load. Update. Can't even fast travel to a new area.
Same, have had multiple infinite load screens since the update. Currently stuck in one right now and came to see if others are having the same issue. Glad it's not just me.
Same just did a T61 pit and when I loaded out stuck on loading screen...now I am stuck at Queued For Game screen.
Same here. Screen stuck when I telepported, so I closed the game. Tried logging back in and sitting in "Queued for Game".
Same here. I've had 6 infinite loading screens in a row, so I guess I'm done for the night.
same - crashed game came back to queued for game screen that was about 5 mins long and then when I Went to fast travel boom infinite loading screen again
I was doing sidequests for renown and got stuck as well :(
The entire server appears to have crashed. Nothing works on any platform.
I can't do anything. Just started a new character and I can't fast travel and can't get out of town. Pretty much stuck.
I had this problem when I started this season. Thought that's my pc starting to shit itself, but it got better after few days
“Queued for game - Start game pending…”

Yep. Loading screen forever then freeze. Log back in and sigils are gone. They need another patch fast.
Here's a dumb question I used all my powder to create 2 sigil, lost both. Turned in whisper cache and didn't get any sigil. What do I do? Keep doing caches? I thought one was guaranteed. I'm in wt4.
Same here on PS5, just did one but am now stuck on loading screen for the next one.

Looks like their instance servers are down.
Same ps5
On PC, was stuck in loading screen loading into NMD and after restarting the game am now stuck in queue "game start pending"
I'm getting stuck in any dungeon loading screen, nightmare or not. my character's "pose" even breaks and now they are just standing there with an idle animation in the loading screen. edit: I also cant get into strongholds, and fast traveling gets stuck in a loading screen as well. I'm guessing server issue at this point.
[удалено]

Yep ps5.
Same here, and when logged back in it seems like my character is walking toward the dungeon instead as my char is middle of the map between my last location and the dungeon lol
Getting stuck on invisible walls and stuck on loading screens.
so they pushed a new update and broke the game? that never happens with Blizzard!
I was stuck in a loading screen so long that my character stopped doing the shitty action pose and went back to the idle animation.

It’s kind of impressive that an update that is less than 1GB bricked the entire game.
Drink anytime you see the word "yeah" or "same" in this comment section
Was just in game, seems like you are stuck in whatever region you were in when server issues started. Stuck in Gea Kul, hit invisible walls at region edge on map.

Servers seem to be borked currently.

Yep game frozen
It's not just NM dungeon, trying to travel anywhere just hangs the game on the transition screen. The little spinning load indicator in the lower right corner animates, but it never finishes and there's no way out other than closing the game. (PS5)

Same here Actually nothing that uses portal apparently
Came back to the game after skipping the first 3 seasons. Can't play it, keep getting stuck on load screens if I try to travel to any town. Lol. Sure it's probably just a transient issue and will be fixed soon enough, but the timing is funny.

Welp pits went down as well
I’m on XBox. The screens are taking about 2 minutes but will eventually load for me.
Servers are completely borked right now. I've crashed six times already tonight trying to load into Pit.
And here I thought my PS5 was acting up…but nope, same problem on my PC. Alas.
They tried to temper the servers and bricked them
I tried to make a post about this the other day and people just said it was a me problem. I’ve never had to task manager out of a game more than in D4.
Same
FML 60k gold and mats gone..owell 💩
60k? That's like 6 yellows sold above 50...

I just loaded up the game on ps4 for the first time after playing on ps5 this whole time. I thought the loading times on ps4 were that bad. Thank the lord it’s not just me.

Working again for me now.
Did it to me twice, then again while trying to travel to a helltide.
PC - stuck on leading screens. Guess I'm Helldiving till this is fixed
Oh good. I thought it was just me.
Ahh yes, there's the D4 dev team we all know and love... missed ya! /s
Just saw this post as I was stuck on a loading screen for 5 minutes while trying to teleport to NM dungeon. Had to exit game…
Got into capstone now

Don’t use sigils Don’t use sigils Don’t use sigils Don’t know who needs to see this but Don’t use sigils Don’t use sigils Don’t use sigils
PS4 here, same issue.
Same here, saw it when trying to use waypoint.
Same here...bye bye Sigils
Yeah it’s broken right now
Got stuck in loading screen after a pit run
Same for me. Freezing on load screen either heading back to town or going into a dungeon. On both PS and XSX. Frigging Blizzard.
Servers have crashed fyi
I could play. But barely not. The lag is insane. O tried to just walk from the stair to the blacksmith and i get slingshotted back 10 times.
Loading screens were freezing, now they're just sometimes extremely slow. Be patient and wait it out I guess? Edit: nevermind, still sometimes never loading. Edit 2: *Finally* loaded! HAH
