Diablo 4 - Authentication Pending

The queue time in Diablo 4 (D4) will generally take 10-30 minutes at the start of Season 1 due to the amount of people entering the game. Learn more about how long it can take to get into the game, and if you can make the queue faster down below!

How Long Do Login Queues Take?

Takes Around 10 to 30 Minutes

Diablo 4 - Queued for Login Remaining Time

Although the Queue Time listed generally shows 1-3 minutes, the loading time may take as long as 10x longer than listed, taking from 10 to 30 minutes for a new player to join the game.

It's expected that the wait times will get shorter as Season 1 continues, and right now the times are extended due to the sudden user influx from the release of the game.

Depends on Number of Users Joining

The queue time can vary depending on when you launch the game based on how much people are entering the game at the same time. According to a response in the official Battle.Net app, the countdown may finish and go beyond the listed queue timer.

There might also be issues with the authentication servers which can lead to slow or failed login attempts. Check our Server Status page to see if there are currently any issues associated with logging in to the server.

Can You Make the Queue Go Faster?

There doesn't seem to be a way to speed up your position in the login queue, so you'll need to simply wait at your place in the queue until you get into the game.

Don't Try to Exit the Queue

You will be able to enter the game if you are patient. Do not leave the queue or restart your game.

No Method to Change Regions

Currently, there's no method to change your region to make the queue go faster.
