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.

      How about fire the guy who approved all the bad decisions? The guy who bought these studios in the first place? Oh wait, Satya is safe with his billions while the workers pay the price.

      This had nothing to do with games. This is all about management wanting to squeeze as much money from Xbox to keep Microsoft's AI ambitions afloat. Someone has to make money to burn on AI.
    • GeekBook X16 Pro Intel Core Ultra 9 thin and light laptop gets a 17% discount

      By Steven P. · Posted

      GeekBook X16 Pro Intel Core Ultra 9 thin and light laptop gets a 17% discount by Steven Parker GEEKOM is back with a 17% discount on its top-of-the-range X16 Pro laptop. You may remember that we reviewed the X14 Pro back in February, which marked GEEKOM's debut into the ultrathin laptop segment. You can view the full specs below. GEEKOM X16 Pro Model NX14CM Dimensions 322.58 × 213.36 × 5.8 mm (12.7"L x 8.4"W x 0.23"T) Weight 997 g / 2.2 lbs Material Unibody Magnesium Alloy CPU Intel Ultra 5 125H (14C/18T, 24MB L3, 2.3-5.1 GHz, TDP 20W) Intel Ultra 9 185H (16C/22T, 24MB L3, 2.3-4.5 GHz, TDP 35W) Graphics Intel Arc graphics 8 Xe-cores @ 2350MHz 1024 shading units/stream processors (128 CUs), 8 Raytracing Cores, 64 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs NPU Intel AI Boost, 11 TOPS / Up to 33 TOPS (CPU+NPU+GPU) Memory 32GB Dual-channel LPDDR5x 7467 MT/s Micron SODIMM Storage 1 x M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 4x4, Wodposit 1TB, 2 TB Display 16.0" IPS LCD, 2560 × 1600 (16:10) 100% sRGB, 120Hz Refresh Rate Camera 2MP 1080P 1 × Light sensor in camera module 1 × LED indicator in the camera module Windows Hello Support: No Mic 2 x Digital Mics integrated in the camera module Speakers 2 x 3813 (4Ω×2W) built in body Audio Codec: ALC269QN-VC3-GR Certificate: DTS: X Ultra Operating System Windows 11 Pro 25H2 Bluetooth Bluetooth 5.4 Wireless LAN MediaTek MT7922 M.2 Wi-Fi 6E LAN card Left I/O ports 1 x HDMI 2.0 2 x USB4 (40 Gbps) Right I/O ports 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A (5 Gbps) 1 x 3.5 mm Audio jack 1 x Camera Privacy Shutter Keyboard 78Key 1.2±0.2mm / Height 3.5±0.2mm (with backlight) White LED light in Caps Lock and Fn key Language: Default US Touch Pad Dimension: 120 x 71mm Material: Mylar Position: Middle Interface: I2C, Dualpoint button Dock Input port: 1 x Type-C 2 x USB 3.0, 1 x RJ45 1 x PD 1 x HDMI (Bio) Security Fingerprint sensor (in the power button) SD Card slot No Kensington Lock No Battery 77Wh (Input 20V, 3.25A) Power 65W PD GaN Fast Charge, USB-C to USB-C Warranty 2 years (Early Bird 1+1 Years) Deal price $1119.67 The X16 Pro is powered by the Intel Ultra 9 185H, which was released in Q4 2023 and is a 14th Gen Meteor Lake CPU designed for laptop/mobile using the Intel 4 architecture based on a 7nm process. The Ultra 9 185H features 16 cores and 22 threads running at up to 5.1 GHz. It also includes a dedicated NPU utilizing Intel AI Boost at 11 TOPS. On the graphics front, the 185H includes the still fairly capable ARC Graphics (not to be confused with the newer ARC 140T) integrated GPU with a max GPU frequency of 2350 MHz across 8 Xe-cores. It has been said that the iGPU is equivalent to the NVIDIA GeForce 3050 and GTX 1650 in gaming and synthetic benchmarks. Other highlights include an AMOLED display, LPDDR5x memory at 7467 MT/s, WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, and a fingerprint sensor built into the power button. AI PC? Although the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H includes a dedicated NPU, it's only 11 TOPS; therefore, it does not qualify as a Copilot+ PC. However, it can reach up to 33 TOPS with a combination of NPU, CPU, and GPU. As I said, although we only reviewed the X14 Pro, the unboxing is the same for the X16 Pro, which I noted in my review. The packaging is quite a nice experience. The outer box houses the X16 Pro box with a small compartment that contains the 5-in-1 Dock ($40 value), which appears to be an "Early Bird" inclusion. Upon removing the box cover, the X16 Pro is revealed sitting in a cardboard compartment with two small booklets of documentation. To the left of the X16 Pro are two cardboard compartments containing the 65W charger and Type-C USB cable. What’s In The Box 1 x GEEKOM X16 Pro Ultra-thin Laptop 1 x Type-C to Type-C cable 1.8M 1 x 65W GaN PD Fast Charger 1 x Warranty Card 1 x Thank You Card 1 x User Guide All products sold by GEEKOM receive a 3-year free Warranty from the date you receive the product. If needed, you can RMA or return locally relative to your region (the U.S. has a U.S. warehouse, mainland E.U. has a German warehouse).
