Diablo 4 open beta patch notes: Improved queue times & crash fixes incoming

Patch notes for Diablo 4’s open beta have officially gone live, with Blizzard promising to tackle long queue times, crash-related troubles, and much more.

After the success of Diablo 4’s early access beta, which attracted more than one million users, the team at Blizzard Entertainment is gearing up to unleash an open beta.

The early access sessions featured a few hiccups that players are eager to see addressed, however. Most notably, long queue times kept many from enjoying the game as much as they’d hoped.

Blizzard seems to have tackled several of these issues, though, evidenced by newly released patch notes for the next beta period.
