I have the same problems.
Freezes in towns on open inventory, season (U), skill treeā€¦

And I donā€™t know why. A friend doesnā€™t have this freezes and all the twitch streamers have also NO freezes.

My specs:
Mainboard: Gigabyte GA 350 Gaming 3
Proci: Ryzen 3600
16 GB RAM
Nvidia 2060 Super

MSI Afterburner is the only running background programm.

Yepā€¦sameā€¦kinda sucks truth be told. Did not see this pre season 2.

I have been experiencing the same issues since S2. This issue did not exist for me prior to this season.

Iā€™ve already turned Cross Play and Cross Communication off and it makes no difference. Iā€™ve tried lowering settings, capping FPS, etc. nothing makes a difference.

EDIT: I rolled my NVIDIA driver back as Iā€™ve read it helped others, and I can say this also solved my issue. Rolled back to the Oct 10 version 537.58 (version 31.0.15.3758 in device manager) and it seems to be working properly again.

Same issues as everyone else here and never had any of these issues before season 2.
Something changed with season 2 that created these issues.

Same here too, also same exact specs as OP.
itā€™s soooo frustrating because gameplay was flawless pre update.
I canā€™t even get past the title screen sometimes. Occasionally I get to the screen with the start button.
Itā€™s gotten progressively worse all day.
If I do get in as soon as I move it starts to freeze.
I see the reconnecting message in the top left a lot as well.
I just want to playyyy! :sob:

Same issue Iā€™m having. Middle of a fight and everything just paused. That and (immune) other things (immune) I experienced (immune) on Eternal (immune).

My problems are that randomly, when hitting A to go to the skills window to allocate skill points, or I to open inventory, the game will freeze but not the computer.

Waiting about 10-15 seconds usually gets it to display what I wanted and I can continue playing normally until the next time it happens.

Done the repair tool - nothing found wrong.
System specs are fine and nothing changed beyond drivers updates from season 1 where there was no problem like this.

Itā€™s so annoying.

same issue here, randomly freezing for 3-4 seconds (had also a longer freeze where Windows was already graying out the window of D4 not responding anymore, was about to click force close but then D4 came back to life) mostly when talking to a npc, giving in quest, clicking on item on inventory, or using town portal. I guess this is a server issue and client is freezing for not able to communicate with server. maybe because of Steam support since S2. or they dramatically reduced server capacity after a lot of people stopped playing. nice job Blizzard.

deactivating cross play might fix the issue, have not tested so far.

there is also another bug since S2 when you play at 60fps, tab out of game, back in, port to random location, game is now going down to under 60fps for example 48fps and takes around 20 seconds for it going back to 60fps.

activate a FPS meter like MSI afterburner and monitor fps, you will see the game will randomly suddenly drop from 60fps to 47fps or bit above and then go up again to 60fps.

doesnt happen if you cap fps to 120fps for example. but then you need to disable vsync on 60hz monior and have tearing.

Crossplay really makes lag in the game. I have the same issue. Itā€™s not a hardware or connection issue. Really annoying.

Ok. Crossplay is not the reason as well as the DLSS. I turned OFF both Crossplay and itā€™s chat. DLSS is also in OFF. Game still freeze in open world. Recently when I opened world map game freezed and not responded till I killed process.
This ā€œnot respondingā€ issue comes on mostly in open world and very seldom in the dungeons.
The most common cases are
open inventory ->freezes
open world map ->freezes
open skill menu A-> freezes
open stash ā†’ freezes
ride the horse ā†’ sometimes freezes

Itā€™s not my hardware issue. All other games including D2R and D3 runs perfectly.

Does Blizzard Tech Suppor read this forum ??!
