How to fix error code 300008 in Diablo 4
To get you back into Diablo 4, you can try three different methods to fix the 300008 error code. If you’ve experienced the “Queued for Game, Start Game Pending” error code, the fixes are very similar.
Check your internet connection
Error code 300008 in Diablo 4 mentions that you’ve “timed out” and can’t connect to the servers. The main reason this could be happening is a weak internet connection. Check that your wifi is on and working. If it’s not, restart your router or try a wired connection from your router to your PC or console if available. If you try to log into Diablo 4 again and you get error code 300008 or something else, you know it’s not your internet’s fault.
Restart the game and your platform
Whether you’re on PC or console, restarting your console and restarting Diablo 4 can fix errors. Simply shut Diablo 4 down and then turn your console or PC off for a couple seconds. Boot everything back up again and see if you get the error code.
Wait for Blizzard to fix Diablo 4
The bad news about error codes like this is that sometimes, it just comes down to waiting for Blizzard to fix their game.
The good news is that it isn’t permanent. Fans and those interested in scouring the lands of Sanctuary are flocking to the game. The servers can only take so many requests. However, Blizzard is likely aware of the issue and are making moves to fix it. Plus, there should be time when there are fewer requests, and you’ll finally be able to get access.
