The rollout of Diablo IV's open beta will ideally be a little smoother than its early access one, thanks to a patch that should improve queue times.

In an official post on the Diablo IV forums, Blizzard outlined the changes coming to the game's open beta. Issues affecting login queue times (which peaked at nearly two hours on the early access beta's first day before becoming virtually nonexistent for the remainder of the early access period) have been fixed. Additionally, Blizzard has fixed an issue that saw queue timers disappear, despite players still being stuck in queue.

An issue affecting the spawn timers for the beta's only world boss, Ashava the Pestilent, has also been addressed. For those looking to take down the ferocious beast, the boss will spawn at 10 AM, 12 PM and 10 PM PDT on Saturday, March 25 and at 12 AM PDT on Sunday, March 26.
