The Blizzard forums are hopping with upset players once again, as Diablo III‘s infamous Error 37 has returned.
On this occasion, people are not just losing valuable play time, some also report the loss of permadeath Hardcore Mode characters to the error.
In response to the complainants a community manager offered the following explanation:
“Login is currently being impacted by the number of players that are coming online after they downloaded the patch and accepted the Terms of Use. Sadly, the additional steps required to patch and log in to the game is creating a lot of the ‘Error 37′ prompts for players.
We’re currently working on a fix for this and are looking to have it implemented as soon as possible; we hope to have future patching processes smoothed out for Diablo 3.”
The patch in question, update 1.0.2, is mostly for bug fixes including login error 14009.
Sadly, I suspect this is not the last we will be hearing of Error 37.
