  • snaggul snaggul (@snaggul) reported

    @AndreyLykov3 @PezRadar @RodFergusson SAME ISSUE

  • BigWarBear #BLM (@BigWarBear) reported

    @xSlicedbreadX @PezRadar It doesn't help that no matter what your game creation settings are, when searching for a game in party finder the max players option always reverts to 4. I have been having problems though finding games if I leave it or change it to 8 when I can actually get online 😑

  • AtomicFuelFarm Atomic Fuel Farm (@AtomicFuelFarm) reported

    @PezRadar I think some of the disconnect that you & your company has compared to your customers is your perception of "shortly". This tweet has been up for a hour with no link to the post. Why not take 2 min to tweet when online will be stable enough to play? Thats all we need to know.

  • AltxFeuerfrei Alt 🔞 (@AltxFeuerfrei) reported

    @PezRadar @Tamiraq You need to make a proper announcement of the AVX issue on the offical Form.

  • excaliblog1 Excaliblog (@excaliblog1) reported

    @PezRadar FIX AVX, you goddamn incompetent

  • CoreyOw Corey Owens (@CoreyOw) reported

    @PezRadar @GoScienze How did this issue even happen? What fix have you put into place to ensure this isn't just going to happen again?

  • AndreyLykov3 Andrey Lykov (@AndreyLykov3) reported

    @PezRadar @PezRadar @RodFergusson Thousands of players have issue “Can’t create game because character is already in game”. We can’t play for almost a day because of it, can you please restart servers? It is only softcore problem. Best regards.

  • Biergaertner69 michael wurst (@Biergaertner69) reported

    @PezRadar I assume that people with the AVX bug are probably less than 5% of the player base - and we are officially not even allowed to complain, since our ancient CPU’s are beyond min specs. There are bigger issues, ok. But try to include this fix to the very next client patch please

  • jonathan_kilday Jonathan kilday (@jonathan_kilday) reported

    @PezRadar so we just gonna ignore the people with avx issues? cool

  • RealKekistanian Ian Manners (@RealKekistanian) reported

    @PezRadar Guess this means those players that are locked out from even starting the game either by the AVX-issue or the "black screen" will have to wait until Monday.

  • GoScienze GoScienze (@GoScienze) reported

    @PezRadar Any updates on the „character already in a game“ issue? Will servers be reset?

  • DanRoggenburg Dan Roggenburg (@DanRoggenburg) reported

    @PezRadar YOU DIDNT EVEN ADDRESS THE AVX LAUNCH ISSUES IN THIS?!?!?!?!?! THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE STILL UNABLE TO EVEN OPEN GAME?!?! GOOD TO KNOW YOU ARE NOT LOOKING INTO IT. THIS IS INTENTIONAL IGNORANCE AT THIS POINT!!!

  • Ralaen1 Ralaen (@Ralaen1) reported

    @PezRadar @misss_gamer @RayLegg5 Why is no one at blizzard addressing the blue screen issue on PS4 on Baal waves it’s unplayable !

  • xSlicedbreadX Nick (@xSlicedbreadX) reported

    @PezRadar @Ralaen1 I was able to kill baal jo problem. But its been a ghost town since launch. Literally I have not seen a single public game since launch or played with a single person since I got past act 1 Normal

  • Brettalan11 Donkeyshow16 (@Brettalan11) reported

    @PezRadar Fix the stuck in game issue you **** head there should be know reason for hours of this.

  • ATavityan Albert Tavityan (@ATavityan) reported

    @PezRadar So AVX issue is still on hold or in base after everything else?

  • OrbitalFrame7 Wootz43 (@OrbitalFrame7) reported

    @PezRadar So, I have a background in IT, but I'm not sure what the exact issue is server side for Blizz...My take on it is that when the last player leaves a room, that room still remains open and the servers aren't closing the room quick enough, clogging servers with unused space.

  • Tamiraq Darkness (@Tamiraq) reported

    @PezRadar the newest post does not say anything about mine, and many other peoples issue with the AVX, does that mean it will not be fixed in the next patch?

  • AltxFeuerfrei Alt 🔞 (@AltxFeuerfrei) reported

    @PezRadar @misss_gamer @RayLegg5 Where is the AVX fix?

  • livewire597 wesley smith (@livewire597) reported

    @PezRadar Lets hear about this AVX issue and how soon it will be fixed

  • tcmn_93 tc93 (@tcmn_93) reported

    @PezRadar your company is having a hell of a year. were the boys too busy socializing(legally hopefully) last night to fix their rushed game?

  • homerjnick Homerjnick (@homerjnick) reported

    @PezRadar Offline is bugged on all platforms...you exit the game or crash then log back in and you are rolled back losing vast amounts of progression. Occurs on PS, XB and PC...this needs sorting ASAP.

  • MartinGrosb Martin G (@MartinGrosb) reported

    @PezRadar ETA? A lot of us want to know if AVX issue will be fixed today.

  • LoveWeddingDJ Tyler Erdie (@LoveWeddingDJ) reported

    @PezRadar @Amirxl @BlizzardCS When is the Fix coming Adam? If this was a dupe method or rollback you would of already fixed it by now. You are prioritizing your streamers. Quick patch = Quick not 24 hours + later. 2 of my friends we unable to play because of this gong show that it was.

  • homerjnick Homerjnick (@homerjnick) reported

    @PezRadar I've lost offline progress and I only have one char...having online/offline chars with the same name is not the issue on Playstation! Try it! Pla the game with one toon on PS5, crash then see you get rolled back to a previous save well before your actual last save point.

  • Ralaen1 Ralaen (@Ralaen1) reported

    @xSlicedbreadX @PezRadar Did u not get problems doing Baal I literally can’t finish it it keeps blue screening when minions of destruction wave

  • oVORTEXo Leonardo “vortex” (@oVORTEXo) reported

    @PezRadar I’m having no issues at all. Is my online char at risk of being deleted?

  • AltxFeuerfrei Alt 🔞 (@AltxFeuerfrei) reported

    @PezRadar @GoScienze Where is the AVX fix

  • lukaszs1992 Łukasz Skórka (@lukaszs1992) reported

    @PezRadar The AVX issue is not even mentioned on the forum post. Are you serious? Fix the goddamn thing already, we can't even start the game. There are thousands of people having the same issue.

  • wojtekczaj Wojciech Czajkowski (@wojtekczaj) reported

    @PezRadar Just fix AVX first.
