'This game means so much to all of us,' reads the post. Lastly, critical pieces of functionality are being broken into smaller more manageable pieces of work. As fixes are made, the population cap will increase. Secondly, a login queue has been created to maintain safe levels of players across servers. That includes repeatedly creating new games to farm items which can overload the servers.īlizzard is therefore working on three major fixes.įirstly, the team is rate limiting the number of operations to the database around creating and joining games, though this is just mitigation for now.

Now, Blizzard has shared a detailed blog post to explain why and how they're moving forward. Diablo 2 Resurrected has been suffering from server issues since launch, as previously reported.
