14 DAY TRIAL // Blizzard is busy rolling out Diablo III all over the world today, but it has released a day-one update for the game as well, in the form of patch 1.0.1, and also admitted that quite a few bugs have not been solved yet.
Diablo III has finally been lauched but, before anyone can actually install the game, Blizzard has already released a mandatory patch, in the form of update 1.0.1, which should be automatically downloaded through the game’s launcher interface.
If not, then you can manually download it right now, from Softpedia, at this link.
Unfortunately, Blizzard has already admitted that quite a few problems are still present in Diablo 3 and posted a pretty big list on its support forum in order to warn players of known issues with the game.
Many of them are not that serious, but there are a few, like the combat ones, which can cause some major problems depending on your chosen character class.
Check out the array of known problems for Diablo III after patch 1.0.1 below.
Achievements The description of the Feat of Strength for "One of the Chosen" does not specifically state that it was granted to Closed Beta players, not all Beta players. The description of the achievement "Why’d It Have To Be Snakes?" is misleading. The description of the achievement "Crispy Critters" implies that all critters are found in one zone, but they are not. Good luck finding them!
Auction House
You cannot list equipped items that have been bought from a vendor.
Battle.net It is possible to get ERROR 37 (The servers are busy, please try again) when logging in if the servers are under heavy stress. This error literally means that the servers are busy and that you should try again, so please try again in a minute or so! Very quickly entering, leaving, and switching chat channels over and over can cause a player from getting locked out of chat channels. It is possible for a friend to be on your friend's list with no name if that friend has a BattleTag but has never logged into Diablo III and is offline. Changing your account's Parental Controls while you are in Diablo III can disconnect you from Diablo III. Workaround: Exit Diablo III before changing Parental Controls.
Combat
Damage over time debuffs are not benefiting from items that grant crit chance. The resurrection animation speed is being calculated by the player's attack speed. It actually should be a set amount across all players.
Environment
Act 2 - Players who cast Town Portal while standing in a tar pit will cause the tar pit slowing debuff to stay on your character until you leave the game or manually walk into and out of a tar pit.
Monsters
The gold dropped from Treasure Goblins can be picked up by all members of the party. Items dropped by the Treasure Goblins are still individual player drops. It is possible for Champion-class monsters with the Waller affix to cast their walls at their location rather than at the player's location.
Followers
When playing a Demon Hunter, giving a shield to your Templar before you kill Jondar and hire him can disconnect you from Battle.net. The total life for Followers is rounding incorrectly and is off by 1.
Quests
Act 1 - The Scoundrel can fail to appear if monsters are present at his spawn location at the start of the quest "The Broken Blade : Go to the Drowned Temple". Workaround: Leave the game and create a new one, or don't kite monsters to Scoundrel' spawning area.
Starter Edition
When a Starter Edition character hits level 13, the experience bar will read 0/0. If the player upgrades, they will start a 0 experience towards level 14.
Tools
If the user has any connections configured in "Dial-up and Virtual Private Network settings" and they're set to "Dial whenever a network connection is not present," the install won't proceed past 10%. It is possible for your cinematics to stutter and not play well if you begin playing Diablo III immediately when reaching Yellow Data. Workaround: Exit Diablo III and fully patch your game. Your cinematics should play fine then.
Compatibility
Running programs that put an overlay over Diablo III (such as Mumble, Xfire, and MSI Afterburner) can cause Diablo III to crash. Use these overlays at your own risk.
Mac
The Restore Hero button does not become available after deleting a hero until leaving and returning to the Select Hero page. Game client window becomes unresponsive when a dialog box is opened in the background. Have you had a chance to experience Diablo III or are you still unable to install or log into your Battle.net account?
