Hey everyone,
is anybody experiencing movement being more stiff after the patch? There is no movement speed response based on how much you push the stick anymore, for example slow walking is near impossible now. Turning and maneuvering also seems to be harder.
Why was there the need to mess up movement on the controller like that? There is no mention of it in the patch notes so I’d like to know if it’s a problem on my end but I doubt it since I tried several controllers and it persists on all of them.
Edit: to fix the issue, set Outer Dead Zone to 3, Inner Dead Zone to 1.

Yes, the screwed it up. I have no idea why someone from blizz would even touch the movement controls for this patch but it’s pretty bad on control. I cant explain it but I just feels odd

Yep, very much so. It had me wondering if it was something on my end, but it seems to be the patch.

Thanks for the replies, I noticed people have been reporting it in the bug threads in the meantime. I can live with the nerf city that came with the patch. But this is kinda game breaking to me. I guess I’m putting it down until they fix the movement.

Yes, I’ve noticed it, too, since yesterday and it is a bit worse today. I thought it was environmental, as it seemed my character was “bumping” into every little stone/divot on the ground. I have to use my mount more often and even then, the mount still does that “lagslide” more than half the time when I summon it and start riding. I am playing on the PS4.

I’ve found a workaround on another thread. Set Outer Dead Zone to 3, Inner Dead Zone to 1. Works buttery smooth now.

I can confirm that the above mentioned settings tweak has been working for me too.

I don’t know if anyone else is dealing with an increased amount of input lag with other buttons too or if it’s just base game lag but I’ve tested my connection and how lag was on other games so I’ve confirmed that it’s only on Diablo 4.
I’ve clearly seen my potion evade and skills get the half second highlight like it’s about to be used and it just stops without any sort of valid reason I’m not being stunned or frozen or dazed or any other impairment. I’ve tested it without any enemies around at all and it still happens.

Yes. Sometimes, especially using the analog triggers on the PS5, skills don’t fire. Lag as well. This patch really did some things…

Outer Dead Zone 3, Inner 1? Seriously? I know the defaults are 4 and 4, and they were perfect, so I didn’t mess with them. I just gave up playing last night when I discovered this was a “known thing” and I found it unplayable.
Honestly, I like to walk casually and then break into a run. Same with the horse! I don’t want to stop dead and then launch into a sprint!
Unsure why they would mess with this and unsure why it wasn’t documented or there hasn’t been more assistance/announcement about it!
But if the suggested settings work, like folk here are agreeing, then THANK YOU!!!
I’ll have to try it after work!

I too have stopped playing, the way the controller works now forces me not to play. I get game sickness now from it. I have 515 hrs of play time amd i never once felt any discomfort playing. I love the game but sadly if this doesn’t get fixed im done with it for good, which makes me sad.
Last night i started ff16 and instantly feel in love with it. At least on the bright side there is an alternative game for me to enjoy. Been playing blizzard games since diablo 1 amd wow since wrath, time to move on i guess.
It could be possible with further tweaking that it would alleviate the issues but I don’t at all blame you for not wanting to put in even more work to figure it out when it shouldn’t have been messed with at all. I don’t even see what else in the notes would have warranted this change to controller movement besides them having to adjust it for all console players because it wasn’t working well enough on PC when they already have all the advantages of KB&M…
Why isn’t this issue higher in their priority list? this affects everyone that plays this game. Makes me not want to play tbh.
I shall try this fix today, thanks.
