Diablo II: Resurrected Gets Another Patch, Player Complaints and Review Bombing Continue

Terminal week Diablo Ii: Resurrected arrived, and unfortunately, it was another in a serial of messy launches for Blizzard. Players were beset with problems, ranging from connection issues, to being locked out of the game, and characters losing progress or disappearing, rendering the game almost unplayable. Over the weekend, Blizzard worked to whip things into shape, issuing an initial update and taking downwards servers for several hours to fix the character lockout issue. Now Blizzard has issued some other patch, version 9.27, which promises to gear up an annoying issue with the game's minimap and further amend stability and performance. Cheque out the brief patch notes, below.

Full general

• Fixed an issue where the minimap would overlap with prior session minimaps.

Stability and Performance

• Stock-still numerous related miscellaneous bugs that would cause user clients to crash.

Blizzard is also promising a fix for people trying to play on CPUs that don't support Avant-garde Vector Extensions (AVX) – this would only exist the case for rather one-time processors, merely they worked during the D2 Resurrected beta, so many were disappointed to discover they no longer did with the full release. According to Blizzard, this is due to a relatively straightforward error and a set should be coming soon…

We wanted to provide an update on the Advanced Vector Extension (AVX) items from the dev team after some farther developments from this past weekend. The team believes they take a potential fix, only this goes across just AVX specifically. The prepare could potentially affect all users, even those outside of non having AVX support, so we are wanting to make sure we do proper testing.

While CPUs without AVX are below our minimum spec, we want to endeavor to ensure as many people every bit possible can play. Setups without AVX were working in Beta. In optimizing the game, we inadvertently included the need for AVX for launch. QA is going to spend another few days of testing across all of these scenarios and setups in an endeavor to ensure we are not impacting existing players.

While Diablo Ii: Resurrected is undoubtedly in a ameliorate state now than information technology was at launch, issues persist, with some still complaining of grapheme lockouts and a steady stream of new complaints flooding the Blizzard bug report forum. Perhaps unsurprisingly, this has led to a pitched battle in the user review section of the D2 Resurrected Metacritic page, with fans leaving zeros and 10s with footling in between.

California's Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) has filed suit against Activision Blizzard, alleging widespread gender-based discrimination and sexual harassment at the Call of Duty publisher. Yous can become more item on that unfolding story here.

Diablo 2: Resurrected is available now on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Serial X/S, PS4, PS5, and Switch.
