I just paid $100 to get a VPN to see if that would help and it did nothing for the latency.

Having same issue.
I reported this issue back during the first beta. The problem persisted into second beta, And the server slams.

I also cannot play because of stutterring, which is funny because during some time periods (early morning here) the game ran perfectly fine, but every passing hour it just becomes terrible and then unbearable.
Trying to install the high-res package as Iâve tried everything by now so I wouldnât mind thisâŚsuggestionâŚwhich probably will result in nothing as Iâm 100% sure itâs a server side issue, not on meâŚ

Same here, from San Diego CA USA. Can only play the game OK after 10pm PST. Durig weekday evenings, or saturday afternoon so far it is unplayable⌠and this cost me 70$. Blizzard isnt the same company anymore. Talk about being cheap!

Make sure your VPN is set to either Chicago or La, whichever is closer those are where the Blizzard servers are located. I just went with the one month with Express, but it is utter BS that we even have to try this. If that dosent work, dropping particles and graphic settings to give the servers less to load helps.

Same here. Diablo 4 is unplayable at the moment. Constant lag, rubberbanding, and disconnections. Often immediately when entering the game. Sometimes the game can hang when booting. Login screen will freeze without showing the âLogging inâŚâ. Otherwise the lag starts immediately after joining a server. The game doesnât seem to want to respect the disabled crossplay settings either. Fine with all other games. Restarted the modem, reset connection settings, replaced the modem, and attempted several other troubleshooting strategies to no avail. Gigabit internet. Itâs likely not my network. Internet is fine with all other games, streaming, etc.

Really feels like only a minority of players are having this issue sadly. Game ran so much better June 1st for me lol
Ok so over the past two days I have had almost no lag or rubber banding. Did Blizzard do something or am I just getting lucky and being directed to the right server? I wish Blizzard would respond to this so we know what is going the heck on in hellâŚ
just lucky. its definitely not a small amount of players with this issue

I was thinking the same thing and just lagged out durring a nightmare, it killed me and the the spikes are lasting longer now. Less often but instead of lasting 20-30 seconds its a couple minutes now. Seems like its actually worse some how. Still not even a peep or a whisper from blizzard about this issue.

I have been posting about this in various other threads, but hadnât seen this one.
Those of you having issues here, I could use help in gathering data:
I need as many WinMTRâs ran to help pinpoint the issues with peopleâs connections.
So go here and follow the directions for how to run the MTR:
You can also run the PathPing/TraceRT here:
And there is more info about these tools here:
Iâm trying to pin down on how many ISPs might be blocking the D4 traffic. And I have found more do than donât.
But the more of these than can be ran and posted, the better. Feel free to post your results here, and I will go over each of them when I have time inbetween everything else I have going on. lol
Thanks!
And why would for ex my ISP block specifically D4 traffic and for no other game this doesnât happen ? Iâm based in Europe with 500mb optic fiber connection. Have never had this kind of issues with any game - including D3 Overwatch etc.
Wouldnât be easier for Blizz to admit they @#$# up and just canât provide a few proper servers or add some more for the people that paid good money to play their game? This company has gone from bad to worse - literally thousands of people are complaining about these issues and i havenât seen anything from them beside the fact they blame the community of course.
This was my absolute last time i spent money on something from Blizzard

sounds very likely to be the reason
Well, my theory is the ISPs for some reason donât like the traffic. Kinda how some routers and modems have been crashing with D4 traffic.
And I agree, there must be something wrong with the traffic if these potential issues are being caused by it.
Not sure where youâre from, but one thing contributing to the latency issues is that Blizzard has chosen to not add any regional servers (unlike with pretty much every other Blizz game). So the entire planet is connecting to Kansas in the US.
Iâve tried to come up with a reason why they set up such ridiculously garbage network infra. My guess is that they want to make sure their favourite US streamers have a higher chance of winning the hardcore race. Nothingâs gonna hamper everyone else more than a poor network connection. Hell, as a EU player I wonât even attempt hardcore with the latency being what it is.
Whatever the reason, unfortunately when I try to bring this up it falls on deaf ears from both gamers and Blizzard.
I am having the same issue, my typical ms on blizzard games such as wow is 60ms this is good for me as I am in Hawaii, connecting to west coast server. Playing diablo 4 I am averaging 140-1000ms when it spikes. I have done a lot of tests and I am good on my end.
When I checked the IPS that my Diablo 4 is connecting to I got Georgia, Atlanta and the Netherlands. Being bounced around to so many different ips in different locations would explain imo why I dc every time I try to load into a different place in the game and itâs using those ips to load me into new areas.

Aye, thatâs definitely not going to be helpful. I really canât wrap my head around that every Blizzard game has proper regional servers except for D4.
Ive lost TONS of nightmare dungeon because of this STUPID disconnect thing!
Suddenly i was encountering severe rubber banding, and finally disconnected.
And it happens the same time as helltide starting,
Ive feed up LOOSING nightmare dungeons again and again.
I might have maxed out my glyph if not im loosing to these STUPID disconnects!
Why I POST this? Because ive been disconnected AGAIN!
Not playing anymore! Loosing NM dungeon tokens again and again and again.
Im Feed up! Better not play
if you cant FIX rubber banding and disconnects, THEN DONT let NM dungeon goes away if you logged out!

So basically it means at every disconnect we are not in Kansas, anymore ?
