Can't start Diablo IV - Server Slam

Hey,

After clicking the ‘Play’ button in battle.net I get a gray screen and after several seconds the following message.

Fenris

The application encountered an unexpected error.

I already did a scan and repair, but nothing was found to repair.
I reinstalled the game, I’ve deleted the battle.net and blizzard entertainment folder under ProgramData. But nothing seems to work.

Someone has an idea?

Thanks in advance.

I was finally able to access Diablo 4 after installing the latest updates for my Windows 11. Here is the list:

  • 2023-05 Preview of Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for x64-based systems (KB5026446)
  • 2022-12 .NET Core 3.1.32 Security Update for x64 Client (KB5021953)
  • Update Stack Package - (Version 1023.421.6122.0)
  • Update for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for x64-based systems (KB4023057), April 2023

UPD:
It only worked once. After restarting the game, I started experiencing freezes again, either on a grey screen or the loading screen.

I have not been able to start the Sever Slam at all today for the same reasons off and on since 4 CDT.

I am still stucked in splash screen/grey screen since launched. Any solution?

Hi, hung on the introductory screen, went to this topic to find out what the reasons are. As I added “-aftermath” to the arguments, it stopped hanging, which is very strange, but it works for me now.

I’ve already added the -aftermath to the arguments. It just gives extra logging but no solution.

The additional text doesn’t work for me.

It doesn’t work before and after I updated to all latest GPU driver and Windows 11 patch.

It doesn’t work even i had re download and reinstall the game.

=(

I have the same problem, im stuck at the title screen.
I did everything and still no solution.

Why game look soo brokem more then last beta now is soo bad 6h playing 12 times DC - frozen game plus
bug i cant skip cinematics and dialoges from qests :frowning:
qest done … cant continue
frezzes when game start on eche lvl cinematic chose char name char personalize char …
= game on form start … they broken soo many things
AND more thing WHY THEY REMOVE BUG REPORT ? this is soo stupid on beta when u canr report bug

Подтверждаю такаяже проблема. Близард удивляют своей расторопностью, якобы предлагают “бесплатно поиграть 3 дня” но при этом игра зависает на 1х секундах открытия на логотипе Diablo. Характеристики ПК:
intel core i3-8100
ОЗУ 16Gb ddr4 3200
Nvidia GeForce GTX1070 8Gb

Ich habe auch so ein Problem, nach dem Start schließt sich das Spiel und geht das Fenster mit Fenris problem auf.

У кого игра зависает при запуске. В диспетчере задач кликните правой кнопкой мышки по процессу “Diablo 4 Retail”, выберите “свойства” , на закладке “совместимость” поставьте галочку “Запускать программу от имени администратора”. Всё, добро пожаловать в игру.

I downloaded the latest Windows Optional Framework update, problem solved for me.

Same here, except I dont even get a gray screen. The launcher just says “Playing Now” and thats it

Just tried this, but didn’t work for me.

Hi,

Those of you with a Razer (Synapse) mouse and/or keyboard:

We’ve found that Razer Chroma & Synapse features have been conflicting with our games. We’re going to want to try updating Synapse 3 to install the most recent version of Chroma SDK, and then remove all Razer software if the game continues to have problems

cf: Game keeps crashing - Server Slam - #4 by Joynueer - Technical Support - Diablo IV Forums

(those of you on D3 will recall that D3 also has conflicts with Razer mouses (mice ?) and keyboards. D3 has a Prefs file where we can set DisableChromaEffects to true… I don’t know if D4 has a similar file).

Cheers !

P.S. : also keep an eye on your GPU and CPU temperatures

Ok fixed

Unpluigged my controller (Razer Wolverine V2) and did a shut down of PC, not a restart

Rly its a joke. Didnt have any problem during previous beta. No I didnt even logged into a game. Tried almost everything but game is not starting… Freezes at grey screen or sometimes is shows me “Diablo” screen and then stops working.

Yep, this is a joke, this beta was a big decision for me to buy this game or not, and right now I see a lot of problems with this beta, so I will wait some time till release. Btw, I have the same problem with this beta and I tried I think everything, but it still not working.
