Game Crashing specifically after patch 1.0.3 (June 27th) (Addressed with Patch)

Wow they still haven’t fixed this since yesterday xD

I guess we have to find a new game to play, unacceptable service. Issue should have been fixed before going live but there hasn’t even been any acknowledgement or hotfix that I know of since then. Do they know what they’re doing or it isn’t really a priority for them as long as enough people don’t have any problems?

Thanks!
I was literaly unable to play the game, it was crashing every minute. As you said,

removing the CPU overclock does work

(at least for me).

I don’t think this is anywhere near the top of their priority list. Wouldn’t be surprised if they didnt fix this 4 months out

Nearly have 2 100 characters and haven’t crashed like this constantly before this update funny you pay 140$ for a game that wasn’t even properly tested during beta nor balanced and now it’s unplayable and being overlooked by blizzard when you search anything related to twitter posts or blue posts. they redirect you to the tech support but then there’s 10 threads of 100 pages long saying people are crashing constantly… Actually disgusting behavior fix your game blizzard it’s been over 24 hours at least acknowledge the issue and stop pawning it off on users.

I’ve done a repair/reinstall/windows updates/driver updates/close applications even messed around with my OC settings and put them back to default. I had no issues before pre patch this is a blizzard issue and they are delaying…

Just an update on the issue. Before yesterday’s patch I wasn’t having any problems, like many here, but after that the game started crashing frequently. I tried several things I saw on the net, and it seems that some of them solved my problem (for now). I’ve been playing for 2 hours without any crashes. Here are the things I did:

  • I updated the net framework in windows update
  • Disable Nvidia Reflex
  • Changed the DLSS from DLAA to quality
  • I disabled crossplay, exited the game and enabled it again
  • I unplugged the Xbox controller from the PC
  • I limited the fps to 120
  • I’m running both Battlenet and Diablo4.exe as administrator
    I hope this helps someone and that Blizzard fixes this problem fast

Sucks to be a PC gamer right now. Feels like the game is heavily optimized for console and then shoehorned in to make it work for PC (badly) games always had a stutter problem for me that i don’t see on PS5. My PC blows the PS5 specs out of the water and here I am unable to play it on PC…

It would be funny if it wasn’t true.

Asus Rog Ally user checking in. Never had a crash and I’ve been playing since early release (was on steam deck until the Ally came out). Now with the patch it crashes about every 5 mins, sometimes to the point of requiring a hard reboot.

how do you do this??? i never overclocked mine…

Played since beta. Played since EA launch. Never ever EVER had a single problem.
Since update yesterday 2 things: 1) CTD every 5/10 mins. This has never happened before. I could play 20 hours and not a single disconnect or CTD. That was my first crash yesterday. 2) I have noticed my druid doesn’t gain spirit from hurricane anymore like it used to (with my set up) so I was doing a NMD (before I got kicked) and I was suffering so hard with spirit management it was absolutely shocking…

Now: I’m currently away for work so I have a gaming laptop: i9 12th gen, 32GB ram, 3070ti, 1TB SSD. And no matter what I do the game crashes every 5/10mins…
At home I have i9 9th gen, 64GB ram, 3080, 2TB SSD. And going to assume when I get back the same will happen.

The patch has broken the game for some, that’s fact. It’s not hardware issues, it’s not settings, it’s not internet, it’s not anything in game or on the PC full stop. Because if so then I would if fixed my issue by now. Someone posted a reply they got from blizzard saying “we don’t see any issues with crashing since the patch” meaning to me, they aren’t bothered about a few thousand people crashing out of all the player base.

We are all screwed until we get this actually looked into, and hot patch for it.

RiP D4 for a while then…

Same as everyone else keeps crashing. Playing without high res textures and max settings without any dlss or dlaa. FPS capped to 165.

Can’t play the game at all now very sad.

i9 10850k
gtx 3080ti
32gb ram

The game is unplayable for me at the moment. Can rarely even leave town before crashing. All from this patch. Didn’t have any issues prior. We shouldn’t have to make changes to graphics settings and such, this is blizzards problem that they need to fix. Problem is it isn’t affecting everyone. Guaranteed if the streamers were having issues, this would be fixed immediately, but since it doesn’t appear to be affecting everyone, the ones it is affecting are screwed.

I think it makes me feel a little better that so many people are having problems. Gives me some sort of hope that with enough of us sounding off they can’t ignore us forever and i may see you guys in sanctuary crash free again soon. :smiling_face_with_tear:

I have been crashing since yesterday. My cousin has been crashing all morning. Definitely something introduced. Can we get a blue post to acknowledge they see this?

Same issues as above. Definitely did not happen prior to the update.

How do you make sure the actual D4 application is running as admin as opposed to just the launcher? Going to try this along with cross play turned off. See if that does anything…

Is it possible that you could try teleporting to every town, and watching your VRAM usage as you do it? I would like to see if this makes you crash like it did for me.

I recommend we start @BlizzardCS on Twitter to get them to acknowledge the issue. They can’t ignore us all. I did it yesterday. Didn’t get a reply yet…

I am getting random crashes since the update. Sometime within a minute or two of booting the game. Sometimes 30 or 45 minutes after booting the game. Just crashed right before killing a word boss, so that was fun.

Just adding my voice, been getting the same QTD crashes with an error code prompt since the patch, same as many of the others. No problems beforehand.
