What is error code 300202 in Diablo 4?

The 300202 error message, in most cases, appears on Xbox and PlayStation consoles and prevents players from either creating or logging into their selected character.

This error pops up typically whenever Diablo 4’s servers are stressed due to large numbers of players attempting to log in at once. Events such as the beta, release, and major updates or patches usually result in large influxes of players trying to enter the game, causing both error codes and long queue times.

How to fix error code 300202 in Diablo 4

If you have come across error 300202, there are a few possible solutions you can try.

Check the status of Diablo 4 servers

The Diablo 4 servers are still somewhat unstable and they can crash at peak connection times, resulting in the 300202 error code appearing on your screen. Before you try attempting to fix your internet connection, for example, it’s better to check if the servers have gone down temporarily, so you don’t waste time in that case.

Make sure your internet is working properly

To make sure the problem is not on your side, double-check your internet connection, and only when you’re 100 percent sure it’s working properly, move to the next possible solution.

Update your drivers

Outdated graphics drivers have, in some cases, proven to be the reason for the 300202 error in Diablo 4. So, quickly scan your GPU drivers on your PC and update them if necessary.

Relog

Your last resort should be accepting the error message, closing the game, and restarting it. I don’t recommend this option at all since you’ll have to sit in excruciatingly long queues once again, and you might be welcomed by the same error message again.
