Diablo taking forever to load

“Connecting to … checking versions”. It stays stuck in this loading screen for a long time. Sometimes i get lucky and I’ll connect to bnet in like a minute or 2. Other times it takes longer and sometimes it takes so long I just close it. Sometimes switching a cd key helps but it still will take a long time to connect. What is wierd is that I stopped playing for at least 3 months or so and it wasn’t doing this then. The very first time I tried connecting to bnet after the 3 months and after it’s been doing this. It was giving me a set time to create games before i stopped playing… maybe they increased my penalty to this just as i stopped playing and I’m still suffering effects… I don’t know. Is this happening to anyone else?

Did you check https://github.com/blizzhackers/documentation/blob/master/kolbot/FAQ.md/#how-to-avoid-checking-versions-issue ?

No I did not. Thanks! That fixed the problem.
