Diablo 4’s authentication servers are down, preventing players from logging in

Diablo 4 players with early access are struggling to log in due to ongoing issues with Blizzard’s authentication servers.

The problem first came to light on Diablo 4’s subreddit, with players reporting problems with accessing the server. It seems that after selecting their character, players are told “queued for game – start game pending”… and then nothing happens. At all.
