Just a quick little note guys...I can log into the beta now :D

Thankfully I found my DVD backup I made awhile ago with the installer on it (which at that time was an actual error Blizz made letting me see it etc) and it still works, so yay. Downloaded enough to hit play, play and now making a character OMG

Enjoy LOC. It is a lot of fun. :)

Yeah, having a blast already on my ranged dudette. I don't know what the fuss was about with the graphics though...looks fine to me? Colors are a bit desaturated but, the land is invaded by hell demons right? heh, I'm gonna try an online match soon, I just get a join public game thing, I take it there is no server browser or game listing, just matchmaking? (I'd know this answer already but I got DC'ed to get a patch apparently, or Blizz discovered their folly and nuked the access to the game :D)

I predownloaded it but I still get this message when trying to install it...I guess its because this is the full version rather than the Beta

Yes that's because it's the official client. I've tried to look at how to bypass that, but the furthest I can get is the TOS, but I can't install due to some "Un-set Installation Options"

Welp, I can't login now. Get error #3005 which from a quick googling is quite the popular error for the game - especially for those who just got beta access or aren't in the beta :(

Hopefully the login servers are just down because of the patch, or I'll go insane and summon hell beasts.

I wouldn't worry just yet. I just tried logging in, and on the login screen there is a system message that the beta is down and they're working to figure out why. That was at 5:30ish PST, and I still wasn't able to login at 10:30 EST. So who knows, maybe you can still get in.

Says it's down... fixing an issue.. hopefully the issue wasn't the allowance of anyone to play lol

Yeah just saw that they will update at 11 AM PST. Meh. I bet I won't be able to play when they get things back up and running lol

They took the servers down to address an issue with folks that are not even part of the beta being able to sign in and play

I just hope the game won't have a "weekly maintenance" like WoW has. If they have to, do it on a different day other then Tuesday. :|

It is not a matter of the game servers going down on Tuesdays as they take down ALL of the Battle.net Services.

So Yes on Tuesdays they will be taking down Diablo as well. (and Starcraft, and Wow, and Titan.)

Apparently they mistakenly let out a "Starter Edition" client, which is nothing more than a demo version of the beta pretty much as it is. But someone at Blizz let people access it (like me) and now I wonder what they are going to do...let the people who got it play the game...or tell them sorry gotta wait until the 15th of May to play.

They will say "Tough, wait till the 15th. Was released before schedule. You aren't in the beta, you have no rights to be playing the game." I can't see them making an exception.

It will probably be like the Starcraft 2, and WoW trials. You are limited by level, not by time.

Enjoy your Diablo 3 open beta weekend. :)

    • Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations by Usama Jawad Microsoft began integrating Copilot into Excel a couple of years ago and has been upgrading it with new functionalities since then. While some changes have been controversial, Microsoft is hoping to win over users by allowing them to be more productive via Copilot. To that end, it has now announced a Copilot improvement that may actually be appreciated by people who use it regularly. Excel customers often use the Copilot prompt box to issue instructions to format and customize their data, but it can become quite tiring to keep repeating the same instructions again and again. Microsoft now allows you to define Copilot personalization rules for formatting, naming conventions, formulas, and report styles. These can be accessed via Settings > Personalization, where you can explain your rules in natural language like "Always format currency in USD with no decimals", and just let Copilot take care of the rest. Microsoft is going a step further in this direction by allowing you to set workbook rules too. These rules are stored as a .Rules sheet, and are preserved while the workbook is shared. This fosters collaboration while making sure that standard rules govern the Copilot editing experience across the organization. Other advantages of this capability include pointing it to specific examples, defining dynamic formulas, and referencing an entire sheet and asking Copilot to infer rules based on that. You can leverage this feature by opening Copilot in Excel, clicking on "+", and selecting Create workbook rules. If you have an existing .Rules sheet, you can simply start listing the rules in column A as well. Personalization features are available to all Copilot in Excel users across the web, Mac, and Windows. Meanwhile, workbook rules are currently being previewed for Windows and Mac customers on the Insiders channel. General availability is scheduled after a few weeks, but a concrete date is currently unknown. Overall, the Excel capability is quite similar to ChatGPT's memory features, which allow you to permanently store items in the AI model's context window.
    • Imagine you still haven't discovered Total Commander that is doing all those things for three decades already...
    • This sounds like underneath the nice marketing spin, either someone at Adobe got tired of their lazy devs and asked Microsoft to help them sort at least some of Adobe's ancestral spaghetti code to make it go faster, or Microsoft wanted Adobe's crap to run better on Windows to make it look better when compared to Apple, so they offered to intervene. Either way, GOOD.
    • My favorite file manager for Windows 11 finally gets a long-requested feature by Taras Buria Files is among the best File Explorer alternatives for Windows 10 and 11. This free app is packed with all sorts of features and conveniences, but there is one crucial feature that is still missing—Tree View. Fortunately, the latest update in the Preview channel finally delivers it. With version 4.1.4, which is now available for download in the Preview channel, developers implemented Tree View, a new mode that displays folders in an expandable hierarchy. Windows 11's stock File Explorer always had this feature, but it was nowhere to be found in Files until now. Starting with the latest preview update, you can expand each drive and its nested folders without leaving the current location and then open the folder you need in the main view. To try Tree View in Files, update the app to the latest preview version, then click the small arrow next to a drive to expand its content. The developers say they are rolling out Tree View in Preview first to gather feedback from users and improve the feature before bringing it to all in the stable channel. In addition to Tree View, Files 4.1.14 improves the Windows Fonts folder. You can now preview each font directly in Files with no need to open the built-in font viewer. For now, these two features are only available in the Preview channel. For those using the stable release, developers recently released version 4.1.3, with improvements for the built-in tag system, on-demand folder size calculation, and plenty of various fixes. You can check out the full release notes here. You can download Files from the Microsoft Store (paid version) or its official website (free).
