Issues unresolved
Window Unresponsive

Issues fixed
Video Card Not Supported
You may receive the error message:
- We have detected that your video card is not supported by Diablo III.
Diablo III will block certain systems running the game if it does not detect a certain spec of video card. However, it is possible to force the game to run on any video card (even if it does not meet the minimum specification of the game).[4]
This fix has been acknowledged by Blizzard, but comes with its own warning from Omrakos:
- ...if you decide to do this and have terrible performance as expected, please do not contact us reporting it. We know the unsupported cards aren't going to perform well and there's nothing we'll be able to do to remedy it.[5]

High DPI Setting
By default, it appears as if Diablo III has a number of issues with high or custom DPI settings in Windows.
This can result in:
- Mouse cursor not being moveable whilst in fullscreen mode.
- Mouse being imprecise on the screen.
- Taskbar showing over the game window.

Login Errors
These messages may appear when trying to log in.
Error 12
This means that no license is attached to the Battle.net account, a problem with many users in Asia. Check this thread for more information.
Error 37
This message means that the login servers are at full capacity. Official advice is to try logging in later when the servers are less busy.[6]
Instructions |
---|
Error 75
Error 75 means that Blizzard servers are down. Check Diablo III Server Status page for updates.
Can't Move Mouse In Fullscreen
This is most likely caused by high or custom DPI settings in Windows.

Installation Issues
Change Client Language
Update 8 June 2012: Blizzard appear to have restricted client language switching.[8] Errors 81, 82 or 84 displays: "The client does not match the accounts native language. Please, use the game native client." There is no known fix as of yet, as Blizzard controls the language restrictions from their servers.
Client language files can be adjusted from the options menu. Once the change is applied, a patch of approximately 3 GB is downloaded. Client language cannot be changed back until this download reaches the 'playable' state, and one re-enters the client to change the language option again.[9]
Available languages are:
- English (United States)
- Spanish (Latin American)
- Korean
- Chinese (Traditional)
- German
- Spanish
- French
- Italian
- Polish
"Updating game files" Issue
Some players are reporting the game getting stuck at installation in the "Updating game files" part.
Method 1 - Disable Anti-Virus Software
Instructions |

Method 2 - Connect Using Different Network Adapter
Instructions |

Method 3 - Delete/Modify Agent Files
Instructions |

Installation Stuck At 10%
If the user has any connections configured in "Dial-up and Virtual Private Network settings" and they're set to "Dial whenever a network connection is not present," the install won't proceed past 10%.[10]
Installation Not Doing Anything
If the installation has yet to do anything you might need to make sure your secondary logon has been enabled. Do so by going through - Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Services, right click Secondary Logon and proceed to enable it by setting the start up type to automatic.
Low frame rate (OS X)
Instructions |
---|
Can't ⌘ + Tab (OS X)
Check that you haven't enabled Caps Lock as that disables ⌘+Tab ↹, although ⌘+M still functions correctly.
