Diablo 4 players demand pre-downloads amid frustrating Season 4 patch issues Blizzard EntertainmentThe frustrating download process for Diablo 4 Season 4 has players demanding that Blizzard developers allow for pre-downloads in future seasons. Diablo 4\u2019s Season 4: Loot Reborn is now live, complete with a patch that introduces new crafting mechanics, sweeping itemization changes, and much more. The patch\u2019s arrival hasn\u2019t gone off without a hitch, though. On PC, the update weighs in at around 16GB; it approaches 13GB on Xbox Series consoles. These file sizes may seem relatively tame, but slow download speeds and Blizzard.net issues have prevented some players from jumping into Season 4 as quickly as they\u2019d like. As such, requests for pre-downloads on future seasonal updates are at an all-time high. The community made its frustrations known in the comments of a Season 4-centric Diablo 4 Twitter post. Reads one complaint, \u201cGuys, if you\u2019re going to give us 16GB patches, please let us pre-download at least a portion of it. Not all of us have first world internet connections.\u201d Another person joined the chorus and replied, \u201cPre-download next time please, like wtf? Lmao.\u201d Blizzard developers have heard the complaints loud and clear, according to Community Manager Adam Fletcher. In addressing the pre-download requests from Diablo 4 fans, Fletcher said pre-download options will be considered in the future. He stated the following on his personal Twitter page: \u201cThere are a lot of talks happening with the start of this season and we will look to address it in the future seasons so there is more of a window for players to grab the patch earlier.\u201d After a delay and PTR, Season 4: Loot Reborn went live on Tuesday, May 14. In addition to the aforementioned itemization and crafting adjustments, the new season also introduced a Helltide rework that should make the experience a bit more challenging and rewarding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
