Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred Delayed by Blizzard Update Mess

Diablo IV's highly anticipated expansion, Vessel of Hatred, faced significant issues upon its release. Blizzard aimed to enhance player experience with a simultaneous launch but encountered complications that led to an extended delay. Players were left waiting for hours due to a necessary, large-scale update that proved problematic, with download sizes ranging from 24-35GB. Once live, players reported a series of bugs, including issues accessing new content and glitches affecting gameplay mechanics. Blizzard is working to address these issues and ensure a smoother experience for players.

The launch was plagued by a delayed release, requiring a massive patch due to problems with the pre-loaded build, leading to player lockouts, long download times, and numerous gameplay bugs.
