Diablo 4 is the fourth installment of an ongoing famous action role-playing game online. Its splendid gameplay has been developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment. Recently, there has been a buzz around character creation in Diablo 4, and how amazing it was.
However, this doesn’t go merry for all gamers out there. Several of them even face Diablo 4 gameplay stuck after they create or select a character over it. In this blog post, we will discuss what causes this issue in Diablo 4 and four working solutions that may resolve this issue on your PC.
Why my Diablo 4 Character is not loading?
Many a time, you may face the issue of your character not loading when opening the same in Diablo 4. Such an issue arises in Diablo 4 on account of two different reasons and they are –
- Diablo 4 Servers are facing downtime
- Or, when your games files have been corrupted somehow
Worry not, as you may address this issue by simply attempting the four solutions discussed below.
Fix Diablo 4 stuck on Character Creation or Selection
If you have created or selected a character in Diablo 4, and then the gameplay gets stuck on the same screen, follow these fixes to move forward in your game –
- Check Diablo 4 Servers
- Run this game as an administrator
- Scan and Repair the game files
- Update Diablo 4 Game
1] Check Diablo 4 Servers
Before you apply any fix to resolve this issue, make sure to once visit Diable 4 Servers and check if its servers are under any maintenance. You may also know about the servers by directly following @Diablo on Twitter and staying updated on any scheduled maintenance or ongoing downtimes.
Do also check if your device is connected to a fast and stable internet connection. You may use Google Chrome’s Internet Speed Test for this. This is necessary as even if this issue is resolved, you will face issues playing Diablo 4 games on a very slow or even slow internet connection.
2] Run Diablo 4 as an Administrator
You must have the required permissions to make any changes to the character inside Diablo 4. If not, creating or selecting a character on it may get stuck, as it occurs in your case. To solve this, close the running instances of the current game and then restart your device.
Sign back into your Windows PC again. When your desktop/laptop opens up normally, right-click on the Diablo icon and select Run as administrator. You may now go to the Character Creation or Selection page once again and check if you can now create your own character or select amongst the existing ones without getting into any issues.
3] Scan and Repair the Game Files
Since Diablo 4 is a high-end game, there’s always a possibility of its internal files and folders becoming corrupt. Do note that this happens mostly when you are using some third-party antivirus program on your computer. Well, uninstall or at least disable such an app from your system and follow the below steps to verify the integrity and health of the game’s installation files. Here’s what you need to do –
- First of all, launch the Batlle.net Client and then click on Diablo 4.
- Open its Settings page by clicking on the gear icon. Inside it, locate and click on Scan and Repair.
- Click “Begin Scan” and wait for this scanning/repairing process to be over.
I hope the “Diablo 4 stuck on the character creation” issue resolves this way. If not, follow the last workaround.
4] Update the Diablo 4 Game
If none of the above solutions help to address Diablo 4 getting stuck on either the Character Selection or Creation pages, you should check if any recent update is available for the game or not. Since this is a high-end game, the chances are pretty high that you will find a new update available for its gameplay. Download and upgrade to its latest version and check if the problem resolves this way.
