Can't stay connected

I can’t even finish a single rift without losing connection. Please help. This is all after the patch

Hey there,

Disconnections while playing can be caused by many different things. If the general troubleshooting isn’t helping I’d recommend running a WinMTR test so we can take a look at what the connection is doing along the path to the server.

  1. Download WinMTR
  2. Right-click on the downloaded .zip folder and select “Extract All”, to extract the files to a new folder.
  3. Open the new folder that was created, then open the WinMTR_x64 folder.
  4. Right-click on the WinMTR application and select “Run as administrator”.
  5. Type the IP address 24.105.30.129 in the “Host” field.
  6. Click on “Start” and then launch the game. Allow the test to run for at least 10 minutes. Click on “Stop” when you’re done playing after you have experienced the latency or connection issue.
  7. Click on “Copy Text to Clipboard”, paste the results here, then highlight everything and hit the </> button in the posting section so it will allow links.

I am having tons of disconnects as well. No FMOD issues I can see, but here is my D3error log, and the WinMTR info.

This was one short session, from entering aqueducts, until the disconnect

Here is another crash I just had. There is def an issue here with this connection reset going on. If it’s my end I’d like to know so I can look into fixing, otherwise I hope this helps figure out the issue.

Both of these WinMTR results show packet loss occurring between the router and internet provider’s network. Although 1% packet loss may not seem like much, it can result in disconnections when the game requires a stable connection between client and server.

The connection looks good between PC and router/modem, so you may want to reach out to the ISP to see if they can see why the packet loss is occurring on the second “hop” there. If things are working perfectly you want to see the same # of packets sent to each of the devices on the way to the server. So if 358 packets are sent to your router, you should see 358 packets sent to each of the hops all the way down.

So you think the 1% packet loss is the problem, even though this Blizz server on all my reports, and thejudd88’s report shows some serious latency issues, and larger packet loss?

ae1-br02-eqch2.as57976.net seems like the real culprit here.

LMAO - Blizz just merged the other thread with this one wow… Shake my head…

Blizzard hurry up and fix this issue we’ve been waiting almost 30 minutes and all you’re doing is “looking into it” now? You should have it fixed by now.

For connection issues on 7/17 refer to this thread.

Just so you know what your in for trying to get your ISP to fix the packet loss issue at one of their relay points: I had this issue of packet loss a few years ago with Comcast. I provide the report showing the packet loss and at what location, the tech support person still wanted me to reset my router and do all the stupid stuff that has nothing to do with the problem. I had to insist on them escalating it to tier two…which they finally did. one week later…still not fixed. I had to recontact them and get them to look at previous report to them…and finally a few days later it was fixed and the promise that they would contact me and let me know it was fixed was never kept. so I am saying it could take an extensive period of time to get this fixed… good luck.

Since the servers crashes the other day, I have had zero disconnects. Some serious lag from huge AoE blasts, but that’s expected. May not seem like much, but I was disconnecting several times per hour; usually while doing my last bounty of a run. So looks like it was a Blizz server issue.

Hope everyone else is playing smoothly as well.

I was in the middle of Battling Lilith twice and then it kicked me out due to client disconnecting from server issues. Then today, im in a dungeon and again, im booted for the same issue. I am done! Back to Gears4, more reliable!!!

Note: I have optic fiber 1000 speed connection, with 0 packet loss …

Hi:

  1. You’re replying to a topic from July 2021… more than 2 years ago. Don’t. If you cannot find a recent topic, start a new one.

  2. This forum is for technical assistance on Diablo III… there are no Lilith in Diablo III. So I’m guessing you’re playing Diablo IV. This is the wrong forum for Diablo IV. You will want to go here:

My husband and I have the same problem since the most recent update patch. He has had to hard boot his PC multiple times. I was lucky enough to still be able to access my start menu to restart.
