Battle.net announces the new version 2.0.1 patch is now available for
Diablo III users in the Americas, noting that users in other territories
will get the patch in due time, and that cross-realm play will not be possible
across mismatched versions. They have complete patch notes, which are very
extensive, as it outlines all the details on the game's new Loot 2.0 mode, as
well as the new Paragon 2.0 system. The new version is automatically available
through Battle.net and there are manual patches on
The Patches Scrolls
extracted from the automatic downloads for those looking to update the
old-fashioned way. The update process is not yet complete, however, as
this post
explains that things are taking longer than anticipated, and the earliest to
expect servers to come back online is 11:00 pm EST.
