On Friday evening, the open beta of Diablo 4 will start, and developer Blizzard has released an update before the launch. This includes improvements for the queues, as well as some bug fixes. MeinMMO has the complete patch notes in German.
What kind of update is this? This is a small client patch to fix some issues from the first beta phase of Diablo 4. Here are the patch notes:
- Fixed issues with the world boss spawn timer
- Sometimes the queue did not show a time despite still being in the queue
- In general, the queue times are expected to be more accurate
- The quest “In Her Wake” did not always progress correctly
- Players with 16 GB of RAM were not always able to use “High Texture Settings”
- Sometimes challenges showed no progress even though they were already completed
- Removed reasons for game crashes
- Console only: Couch co-op players could not join during the prologue
If you want to see for yourself the adjustments, check the English patch notes in the Blizzard forum (via blizzard.com).

In the patch notes, the officials thank the community for participating in the first beta phase. They appreciate the patience – especially at the start of the beta when there were long queues and many crashes.
This is part of the development process and is meant to ensure that the next beta launch runs more smoothly, and ideally there will be no server issues at release.
In the second week of the beta, the Druid and the Necromancer will be added to the game. Then all release classes can be tested. The pre-order beta only offered three of the five classes.
