There are times when login queues in Diablo 4 (D4) Season 3 can take longer than indicated in the game, due to issues like Authentication Pending. Read on to find out how long login queues typically take, and tips for reducing queue times!
Authentication Pending Error: How to Fix It
There can also be an extended Queue Time if the authentication process takes a very long time to complete. You’ll simply have to wait out this issue, since it will eventually be resolved. There is no error here, and the step will be completed eventually even if the Authentication Pending takes up to 10 minutes.
The queue time listed generally takes 1-3 minutes, but the loading time usually takes 10-30 minutes for a new player, taking between 10 and 30 minutes.
While the wait times are expected to shrink as the beta continues, they are currently longer due to the sudden increase in users following the release of the game.
