The Diablo 4 early access period is now playable for those who have been able to pre-order the Deluxe or the Ultimate editions of the game. However, certain players are having trouble trying to log into the game’s servers due to incredibly high surges and frequent downtimes.

Players have been receiving new error codes every now and then, with the 315306 “Unable to find a valid license” being one of the more common issues. Since the game is a live service title, there will indeed be some periods of downtime that you will occasionally encounter, especially during updates, server maintenance days, or when there is a higher surge of log-ins than usual.

Hence, many in the community are quite curious about finding ways to keep track of the Diablo 4 server health, as they want to stay informed about when the game is actually down.

Today’s guide will go over some of the ways you can track the Diablo 4 server status and know whether Blizzard is facing issues with game performance.


How to check the status of the server in Diablo 4

For now, there are primarily two ways that you can go about knowing more about the server status in Diablo 4.


1) Keep a close eye on the Diablo 4 official Twitter handle

The official Diablo Twitter handle is quite proactive when it comes to informing players about a majority of the performance issues that the game is currently facing. Server status is one of the things that the team reports on, especially if it is connected to outages and log-in surges that the game faces quite often.

During the multiple beta periods of the game, the handle kept the community updated on the title’s more pressing concerns. Bugs and server downtimes were some of the bigger issues during that time, with the game frequently crashing and completely deleting the saved characters of multiple players.

While Blizzard works on a fix to deal with some major issues in the game, you will be able to keep yourself updated with their server status by following their Twitter page.


2) Use third-party websites like Downdetector

Websites like Downdetector are reliable third-party sources that do a great job of tracking the server status and health of almost every single multiplayer title out there. The same is true for Diablo 4 as well, and the website seems to accurately track downtime reports, along with surges and other issues that may be preventing players from logging into the game.

Hence, if you are facing issues with logging into the Diablo servers and wish to know if the issues are from your end, you can always head over to Downdetector to check if the servers are running optimally.

Although it may not be down for everyone, a notification in the Battle.net launcher notes that the Diablo 4 servers are down for some people, and players might be experiencing some login issues for the same. The developers are working on a fix for it, and the servers should be back within the next hour or so.

In case you still cannot access the game after this time period has expired, or the notification on your Battle.net launcher has disappeared, use the aforementioned troubleshooting steps to try and diagnose the issue for yourself.

If you are facing log-in issues even though the servers are up and healthy, then you will be required to make your way to Blizzard Support and register a complaint. Blizzard customer support will reach out to you to help you with performance issues.
