Server Hard Lag/Latency Problems (EU)

Hello,

In the Fallen Temple on June 15, 2023, during the Elias fight too many times in-game lag/latency my character died and I spent too much gold on repair. I know it’s easy to collect gold. However, I don’t think it’s right for Blizzard to waste my hours like this because servers for Diablo 4 services are experiencing too much lag/latency.

I’m commenting as a gamer: Your server management seems very bad nowadays, you need to give us more stable servers to play the game, if you are claiming that the game is playable with people. Too many times during Fallen Temple my character died from lag/latency. If the problem is caused by my internet, I tried it in other MMORPGs and games that require an internet connection, no it was not due to my internet connection. Speedtest results look pretty good, too. Frankly, I think this should be unacceptable for a company that has managed MMORPG servers for years and has game development experience to confront its players with such a problem. We are experiencing these problems, especially even though you have done a test called Server Slam, which seem ineffective, because we are still experiencing hard lag/latency problems!

Anyway, I finally got into Elias’ fight even though my character died because of lag/latency too many times in Fallen Temple, but this issue persisted during Elias’ fight as well. I died many times, teleported to town, spent a lot of gold, fixed my equipment and came back to the Fallen Temple. Then, all of a sudden, for some reason, it crashed with a warning like this, destroying my entire Fallen Temple game process that I had barely accessed: “Warning! Your account is currently locked. Please wait a few minutes and try again. (Code 395002)”

I can enter the game after a while, however, my time feels wasted because of this error.

I’m sorry, but I was very upset that such problems were experienced in the game that I bought with a pre-order to play. I didn’t worry about the lag/latency issue until the Elias fight in Fallen Temple, because I thought a company like Blizzard could fix such an issue. What if I had the same issue while I’m playing in HC? Though I played and died at Level 50, but that was because of me. I am sorry to say that you have disappointed me.

Also, since I wrote something such as above, let me add one more thing: The console optimization of the game has been much better than the PC optimization. As a PC gamer, I am having optimization problems in the game even though my computer has new-generation hardware.

Finally, I hope Blizzard does something about this urgently and fixes this issue. Because I can’t even play the game that way. What should I do, play Diablo 4 forever in World Tier 3?

Thanks,

Ive 64GB of Ram; NIVIDIA RTX 3080; fiber connection and while I can complete every form of content Elias and certain cellars the performance drops to utter crap.

It doesn’t matter what settings to try to change; that fight does not recover and it’s a roadblock to gameplay. I’m ready to dump the game due to frustration since we are not beaten due to mechanics but a screen turning into a slide show.

It’s not a driver issue.
It’s not a settings issue.

It’s a game issue.

I also have NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti, 32GB RAM and i5 11400F CPU, having the same performance issues.

Extreme lag has always been a problem in beta, at least in the cities. And instead of getting better, the situation is getting extremely worse.

If I had to choose between the extremely laggy multiplayer world and the old non-laggy 4-player co-op experience, I would far prefer the old version.

These server problems need to be fixed as soon as possible. I’m going to put it on hold for now, because it’s no fun and just frustrating.

I had extreme lag and stutter rubberbanding. after i plugged in my internet with a cable instead of wifi it has become totally smooth gameplay.

When this will be fixed. Game is unplayable since yesterday. I play like 1 min and then game world freezes for like 5 min can’t use evade or anything. EU servers. Please acknowledge the problem and update us. Trying to play the game in my free time but constantly getting this lag.

I am experiencing some in game lag and freezing

I am currently running an
processor: I9 9900K
ram: 32BG
GPU: RTX 2080

i am experiencing the same issue, i am teleporting anywhere and takes time to exit the game! my latency is 500-2600+ more! please fix this, this happen just this afternoon. GMT+3 after 1pm. till now i still have the same ms.
please fix this asap. :rage: :rage: :rage: :rage: :rage: :rage:

have the same problem whole day . Latency 497-700 all the way…unplayable

I’m also experiencing severe rubberbanding and disconnects very regularly. I have good internet speeds, high-speed fibre, and no issues in other games.

Specs: I9 12900k, RTX3090ti, 64GB RAM

These server issues need to be fixed as it is ruining my experience and by the sounds of it a lot of others have the same issues.

Same problem here (Germany). i5 12400f with RTX3060. Lowered all graphics settings but still rubberbanding makes it unplayable. They force you to play online even for single player but then they are not able to mange the servers.
ping google.com gives me a few ms, ping battle.net around 190 ms.
Big disappointment.

Dear [Game Support Team],

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to address a critical issue that has severely impacted my gameplay experience in this game that I love. Despite my dedication and enthusiasm, I am now facing a problem that makes it nearly impossible to enjoy the game and progress further.
The issue is of course the significant lags during gameplay, which have become increasingly frustrating as I advance to higher levels, particularly after reaching level 50. The game’s bosses at this stage are exceptionally challenging, and the presence of lags has made it nearly impossible for me to overcome these obstacles. Regrettably, this has left me feeling … irritated.

Let me assure you that my hardware and internet connection are not the root of the problem. My PC is equipped with the latest technology, capable of handling even the most demanding games with ease, and my internet connection is top-notch, boasting the highest speeds available. I have conducted various tests to confirm that my setup is in optimal condition, and all other games run flawlessly.

However, it is evident that the issue lies within the game itself, as the lag issue persists despite my efforts to ensure a smooth gaming experience on my end. I have researched a bit and found that many other players are also facing similar problems, and this is not an isolated case affecting just my gameplay. The frustration and discouragement caused by these lags are shared by countless other players who genuinely love to play the game.

PS: One notable observation is that the lag problem seems to be exacerbated during the evening and nighttime hours. Surprisingly, during daytime play, I experience significantly fewer lags, which suggests that there might be specific server or network issues affecting the game’s performance at different times of day.

This situation frustrates me deeply, and I am sure that if this problem persists, not only will I be compelled to leave, but a significant number of dedicated players might also abandon the game. Let’s not let it go that far, please?

Thank you for taking the time to read my concerns. I hope you will take the necessary steps to rectify this situation and demonstrate your commitment to fostering an engaging and vibrant gaming community. And for reading my cursing frustration filtered through an AI that made it what it is now :stuck_out_tongue: Bye

I agree 100% even I have been unable to play for several days. Unacceptable with 90 euros of cost. All other games are perfect.
