Good morning, brave slicers! The release is still proceeding without major issues for many players. However, the PS5 version continues to have problems and is generating an error:

“No valid license” / Error 315306 on PlayStation:

  • Developer statement from March 2023: “Unfortunately, it is a known issue caused by server problems on our end. There is unfortunately no solution you can implement as a player here. We can only ask for your patience until it is resolved.”

Meanwhile, there are several solution approaches for the license issue on PS5, which have been tried by several users. The launch otherwise is praised as the cleanest in Blizzard’s history, at least on PC.

02:03 AM

With that, we say goodbye for today. Blizzard has also released a statement regarding the license issue on PlayStation:

In the comments and on Twitter, there are users who have purchased a platinum package for Diablo 4 and no longer had license issues. We do not want to promote the trick, but we at least want to inform you.

Here are some reading tips for the waiting time or if you want to inform yourself:

Important information about the launch:

  • If you encounter error codes at launch, restart your console or your Battle.net browser – some errors could be resolved this way during previous tests.
  • Check your graphics card drivers and update them if necessary.

Here are some important guides:

You unfortunately need a bit of patience on PlayStation until it gets better. Keep trying – for MeinMMO colleague Christos, it also worked after a while.

Otherwise, the queues are short for everyone who does not have license issues.

01:30 AM

If you have license issues on PlayStation, completely turn off your console and keep trying. For MeinMMO colleague Christos, it worked after a few attempts.

01:26 AM

The licenses on PlayStation are becoming a significant problem. Currently, it seems that you cannot even renew the licenses in your account because the PlayStation services are overloaded. However, the official status page for PSN shows no errors (via playstation.de). There is also no statement from Blizzard yet.

In the meantime, Twitter is filling up with the following posts:

There are reports of problems on PlayStation. Players receive the message “no valid license”. Try to renew your licenses in the account settings. Unfortunately, there is no definitive solution to the problem, which has also occurred in previous tests.

The error appears to be server-side. There is not much you can do. This was confirmed by a Blizzard employee back in March. At that time, it was said:

“Unfortunately, it is a known issue caused by the server problems on our end. There is unfortunately no solution you can implement as a player here. We can only ask for your patience until it is resolved.” – via blizzard.com

At least: those who get in currently have only short waiting times.

01:08 AM

The next queue test also went excellently. The login took just over 1 minute.

Weird feeling, constantly finishing a game just to stand in line.

01:03 AM

The official launch is over. Diablo 4 is finally online in Early Access. I stood in line for 3 minutes after logging in at exactly 01:00 AM.

00:55 AM

Still no queues. Fingers crossed that it stays that way after 01:00 AM.

If you still have a countdown, restart your console. If it’s still not working on PC, restart the Battle.net launcher.

00:52 AM

My PS5 crashed while skipping the first cutscene. However, I immediately got back into the game afterward.

00:50 AM

The servers are online, log in quickly. Currently, there is no queue.

00:43 AM

Just under a quarter of an hour. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that the launch goes exactly like this:

On Twitch, Diablo 4 is already a hit and the most popular category even before the release:

diablo 4 on twitch a hit before release

When I try to log in now, I get “3 minutes” displayed in the 1.5 seconds I am in the queue before the error code appears.

Someone is probably trying to do the same as me.

00:28 AM

Just half an hour left, get ready. Check your game for updates, restart your Battle.net launcher again, check your graphics card drivers.

00:20 AM

If your screen looks like this:

diablo has not started yet

Then you are waiting like me for the release.

00:00 AM

Today, the Early Access of Diablo 4 starts. Nice to finally say that.

If the servers cooperate now … then we can get started in just over an hour.

It’s getting serious, the hype is intense. Hopefully, the servers hold up so that our resources don’t go directly for the waiting time. How is your gear looking? Twitter seems to be prepared:

90 minutes until the start, my PlayStation is already warming up. The Necro will be my choice at launch.

10:20 PM

At 01:00 AM, the Diablo 4 servers will open. It’s currently impossible to predict how the server situation will be at launch. The developers even held a free “server slam” to prepare for the launch.

However, we already expect certain problems at launch. I will keep an eye on the official channels should Blizzard issue a statement or known error codes become known.

Let’s hope for a smooth launch with sufficient server capabilities!

09:30 PM

Good evening, dear readers, this is Maik from MeinMMO. I will accompany you through the release today. The servers will open at 01:00 AM, and from 11:30 PM, I will be posting regular updates with information about the release and the community hype. Until 02:00 AM, I will keep an eye on the servers.

08:58 PM

There was a small update for Diablo 4. If you downloaded the game in advance, you should install the patch briefly so you are not left behind later.

By the way, Diablo’s chief Rod Fergusson has his birthday today, and after a teaser from him, there is … another teaser. Here is the official anthem of Diablo 4:

01:40 PM

Here you will later find our live ticker for the release. Throughout the day, we will post the latest news and important guides.

The ticker service for the release kicks off at 11:30 PM, and the servers should open at 01:00 AM. We will stay active until 02:00 AM, checking the servers and reporting on the first community stories.

Here you will find all the game information already:

How do you get into Early Access? You need a digital pre-order of one of the following two editions:

The preload for Diablo 4 is already online. Plan for your download on PC and next-gen (Xbox Series / PS5) between 70 and 90 GB. On older consoles (PS4 / Xbox One), you need less than 50 GB.

The new action RPG Diablo 4 is already scoring high with many testers before the release and receiving dream ratings. If the release goes smoothly, nothing will stand in the way of a fine monster-slicing experience.

This goes for both newcomers and veterans: Fan searches for old gamers playing Diablo 4, gets hundreds of responses: “The body decays, but the mind remains sharp”
