Hello everybody.
Since the game has some serious stability issues (e.g. disconnects, freezes, staggering, lag, etc.) - I think that it would be wise to fix these problems first before launching the expansion “Vessel of Hatred”.
I am not ranting anyone and I am aware that Blizzard is working on this issues but the game already has more than a year and to be honest, the stability problem becomes more and more severe after each new update or patch.
Blizzard, please fix the stability problems as fast as possible, these issues are mandatory - just focus on those problems first and than the rest (e.g. cosmetics, promotions, minor bugs, etc.).
If the game is unplayable and unenjoyable then players will just quit and that would be really bad because Diablo 4 has by far the most promising start out of all other games and the Developers need to work harder on fixing things.
I think you must be way more specific. I have almost zero issues with stability in this game. So maybe it’s on your side?
Of course, I will enumerate some of the issues mentioned before but more detailed, as follows:
-
RANDOM DISCONNECTS WHEN TELEPORTING - this usually happens when the loading screen lasts longer than usual and only when teleporting to cities (weird thing) - OR - it can happen at random times in dungeons
-
RANDOM GAME FREEZES - this happens almost every time when entering different world zones or exiting cities, it usually lasts a few seconds and a lot of mobs spawn around you, this can be tricky because you can die in those few seconds if that freeze doesn’t end fast
-
LAG SPIKES - which can lead to staggering - this usually happens when a lot of mobs spawn or appear in a small region simultaneously, usually near the player
-
PRESSING TAB DOES’T OPEN THE MAP ON THE FIRST TRY - this is a common bug I noticed since the launch of Season 5 and you have to either wait a few seconds or press TAB many times in order to open the map but the downside is that it can also freeze or crash your game and you will be forced to exit via CTRL+ALT+DEL.
*EDIT / UPDATE: game freezes when trying to open any inventory menu (character, skill points, paragons, achievements, etc.) - this happens since the release of the game and nothing has changed since then although others have reported this problem as well.
I am also aware of the fact that there are a lot other problems regarding stability but those presented here are the most common I encounter.
You need to stop with this argument, it is well documented that this game has severe performance and stability issues, that affect everyone differently. Some dont feel it at all, while others cant even play the game, on otherwise perfectly functional systems. This problem has been going on for a year now, and the fact that it still hasn’t been fixed is inexcusable. This is bad, even for Blizzards standards.

My game sometimes lags like that too.
And also the last 2 days the latency is crazy, more than 3000

So freaking annoying. Each menu takes 3-5 minutes to load and every time I move an instance it’s a flip of the coin whether I get there in 10 seconds or in 10 minutes or not at all as the game crashes. Horrible horrible optimization. Sucks a bunch.

I also struggle with instability. It was fine in town but once I went out the lagg and high latency begins. It is not my connection or internet as I can play other games way more smoothly. This is really annoying and I lost loot this way as it laggs so much I cannot even pick stuff up.

Nothing you mentioned happened to me from the beginning of season 1. What’s your hardware? Do you have SSD? Is your ISP good in your region? What Internet speeds do they give you in your plan? Are your required software, windows up to date?
It is not a hardware issue. I’ve played D4 S01 and decided to give it a try again. Whilst I had no issues with stability in the first season, now I can barely move because of the freezes. PC configuration and ISP are not the issue. The problem lies with Blizzard, D4 in this case.
