Another few hours left to go till Servers go back up. Gah damn Blizzard and their obsessively long downtimes. From the patch notes it appears Hunters get even more OP.

Yes in a few hours the servers will come up, however they wont be stable for a few days lol.

We're in the process of transitioning many of our internal tools to the new patch and are experiencing longer than anticipated time to completion. We're now estimating maintenance to be completed and realms available by 4:00 p.m. PDT. We're working to get you in-game as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience.

....

Son of a b*tch! Always another extension of time. Well looks like I gotta wait till after work to play it now. GG Blizz!

With a major patch like this, I think this was to be expected. No? Plus its blizzard! Lol

I will probably activate my account just for this patch, to see how everything is working out.

I just started my newly patched client and was checking out the graphics options. Most of the new graphics features are locked out because my computer is too old (Pentium 4, GeForce 6800). Makes me sad. :cry:

However they finally fixed the refresh rate problem where it only listed 60Hz. I can finally choose higher settings again.

I'm at work at the moment so can't check the statues, but is it still down?

Officially, yea. Blizzard extended the maintenance until 9PM EDT. Unofficially, it seems like the servers are up, but they're quirky. For instance, I (and a ton of others) can't get past the loading screen.

Weapon Skill - This stat will be removed from the game completely. Classes will start with all the weapon skills they need to know and will not need to improve them.

All the wasted hours capping every weapon skill.... That kinda sucks.

After about 2 hours of patching, I go to log in, and the game instantly crashes with no error. Wonderful.

Shattered!

I'm still about 3 hours and 15 mins from logging in so I hope this is all sorted by the time I get home.

Tried just deleting your Cache folder? Sounds similar to a problem I had multiple times on the PTR after patches, and clearing the cache always fixed it.

I still don't understand why people try to log in so hard during patch days, after years and years of patch days - You would think people would begin to understand to not bother trying to log in until the next day.

its called being 1337 .... ( or simply not having anything else to do at that time :p )

also if its related to MR_Candyman then the point is mute as the crash ( client error ) could be fixed in a week which is unacceptable ..

it should however be obvious that .. after a patch like this there will be lag :PP some ppl just dont get it :p

    • Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build

      By LiLmEgZ · Posted

      Owing to the nature of Windows feature enablement updates, it was distributed over Windows Update services as a complete system upgrade rather than as an ordinary cumulative update

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release by Usama Jawad Windows 11 typically follows an annual update cycle, but Microsoft recently broke that tradition a bit by releasing a "26H1" version in the first half of this year as a "scoped" build for select new silicon PCs only. This version was not available for customers using 24H2 and 25H2 builds, as Microsoft is busy preparing version 26H2 for them, confirmed officially for the first time. In a Windows IT Pro blog, Microsoft has urged IT admins to prepare for the upcoming release of Windows 11 version 26H2. The company has confirmed that this will be a small enablement package (eKB) that will simply light up certain disabled features that are already present in the operating system's code base. This means that the "refined" Windows update and deployment experience will be simpler and quicker, with minimal disruptions, as the feature update will simply toggle a few flags rather than performing a complete replacement. Microsoft has explained that this is all possible because the standard Windows 11 releases share the same servicing branch and hence, the same source code. However, this also means that Windows 11 26H1 users won't be able to upgrade to 26H2 as that is a different branch, but this is something we have known for a while now. Similar to previous annual feature updates, Windows 11 26H2 will offer the following support cycles: 24 months of support for Home, Pro, Pro EDU, and Pro for Workstations editions 36 months of support for Enterprise, Education, IoT Enterprise, and Enterprise Multi-session editions Microsoft has not confirmed a concrete release date for Windows 11 26H2, but noted that it is "coming soon". If we go by the ongoing release cadence, we can expect it to begin rolling out in early October 2026. As such, IT admins have been encouraged to begin validating Windows Insider releases in the Experimental Channel, plan rollout rings, and strategize the utilization of their existing deployment tools.
    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds by Taras Buria Today's Experimental builds (26H1 and Future Platforms, formerly Canary) pack several audio-related improvements. If your device is enrolled in the Experimental Channel (26H1), you can download build 28120.2315, while those in the Future Platforms version have build 29613.1000 to try. Here is what is new in build 29613.1000: [Audio] Following up on our previous improvements, we’re making some more adjustments to Settings > System > Sounds based on your feedback. Namely, we’ve updated the “All sound devices” page so: You now have the ability to change default devices from this page. Each of the devices displayed on this page now has a little volume meter next to it to show if there is audio actively playing. We’ve adjusted the page design slightly so now you can filter whether you’re viewing input or output devices. We’ve added toggles so you can choose if you want to hide or show disabled, disconnected, and unplugged devices on this page. We’ve also updated the input and output audio properties page for devices in Settings to now include jack information for those that need it. And here is the changelog for build 28120.2315: This update includes a small number of minor bug fixes and improvements. [Accessibility] This update improves caption style responsiveness by redrawing captions immediately for caption style changes. If no current caption is visible, a sample caption string is displayed. [Audio] This update improves the reliability of the inbox HD Audio driver. You can find the official release notes for build 28120.2315 here and for build 29613.1000 here.

      I agree with what I think you are saying, just not in the way you are saying it. Like any tool, the amount it represents your work is perorational to the effort you put into it. It is similar to why 2nd grade math students learning to add and subtract are not allowed to use calculators, but a high-school calculous student is. For the 2nd grader, that tool would completely replace the work they are doing, for the calculous student the same tool allows them to work far more effectively while in no way replacing their effort or knowable. If you spend 30 seconds writing a prompt, then the image that comes out is no more "yours" than if you found the same image with a Google Image search. However, many of these generative tools also support highly iterative processes that allow back and forth, and merging generated images with photos or human created images. I am sure you would agree that a human spending hours of time working on a project, even if AI was involved in the process, still reflects that human's work.
