![]() This worked, but the very next day, an even higher surge in traffic caused the system to crash again. This led to a cascading series of failures that forced them to roll back their update and try to reestablish a stable network. Essentially, due to the way Blizzard’s regional servers link to the global database that saves your game progression, when the servers came under unexpectedly high load - as they describe it, a sudden surge in traffic they’d never experienced even when the game launched - just after they’d implemented an update that was intended to improve game performance around the creation of a game, the connection to the global database timed out. I’m not going to try and reproduce it all here, but the recap of what actually happened to the servers is simultaneously unprecedented and unsurprising. Now Blizzard has posted details on what the issues are and how they’re working to resolve them, and it’s pretty interesting reading.

Not to mention that players being locked out of the game which they have just purchased is not something Blizzard wants on any given day.ĭiablo 2: Resurrected was released nearly a month back and that too to connectivity and technical issues. Diablo 2: Resurrected requires an online authentication in order to play its single-player campaign in offline mode which can prove problematic if the online servers are incapable of doing so. The frustration stems from not only losing progression due to server outages but also being unable to play the game entirely. The transparency and assurances have however done little to calm players down as many are now looking to refund their digital copies of the game. The bottom line being that player-counts have been peaking and “hundreds of thousands of games within tens of minutes” can take quite a toll on the servers.īlizzard has assured that Diablo 2: Resurrected will be stabilized but which will require some time in nature of how its online infrastructure works. Last week, publisher Blizzard Entertainment provided a lengthy explanation about why its online infrastructure has been suffering since the release of the game.
