“The hardware and configuration could potentially not handle the increased stash size gracefully under heavy load. As we moved closer to launching the patch concerns grew that an increase in the player stash size (a feature in the patch) could compromise the Diablo II service,” the post reads. “The Diablo II 1.13 patch is on temporary hold while we investigate potential impact on the service. However, more information will only be available next week. In the most recent forum update, Blizzard's Bashiok now reveals that the aforementioned issue is being examined. Thanks for being patient, we're getting close now,” the update said.

Please keep in mind that any number of factors could delay the start of the PTR and ultimate release of the patch. “We won't be providing any information on when the patch will be available, except that we expect the PTR to be available ‘soon.’ We will provide some amount of warning very, very shortly before the PTRs become available. Already delayed once, the patch is now being held up by concerns about the impact of increased player stash sizes on the servers.Įarly last month, Blizzard’s Bashiok revealed that work had commenced on patch 1.13 for faithful Diablo II fans. Blizzard Entertainment originally announced Patch 1.13 for its action RPG Diablo II earlier this year.
