Blizzard's Diablo Immortal has been about four years in the making. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be working for a subset of users. On some devices using Samsung's own Exynos chipsets, the game is unplayable, with most complaining about textures not loading correctly. In a Reddit comment, a Blizzard spokesperson said that they are exploring the issues" and "For now, we may disable downloads for this set of devices while we work to address this. Apologies on this and we will be working on getting a fix up and ready as soon as possible."

Affected handsets include older Galaxy devices like the S10, Note 10, and A51 5G—even some S22 users have complained, though. But if you have a Qualcomm-powered version of the phone, you can download the game without any issues. If you're unsure what chipset your Samsung is running on, head to About Phone in your Settings menu.
