Game freezing, lagging, & disconnecting since S2 patch

It all started during patch week where all of a sudden, I had to reinstall D4 again. Once I did the issues started:

  1. Sometimes there’s no sound once you enter the game, you have to go back again for it to return.
  2. When you enter the game, The Blizzard and D4 intros lag.
  3. Queue time can be very long.
  4. Once in the game, it either freezes for 5 to 10 seconds (esp. when I open inventory or move a lot), or it rubber-bands or lags (or both).
  5. When I use the waypoint or TP, my game gets disconnected.

I’ve updated my drivers, even took out the option for Hi-Res since I’m using a laptop and the problem has been the same since the weekend.

Please do something about this matter. I’m also not the only one affected here, so are other players.

Thank you.

This particular issue has been cropping up for those with nvidia cards. The current solution till a better one is presented is to go back to an older nvidia driver from August of this year.

This may help most of your situation.

I’m on PS5. 500+ hours since launch till the end of Season 1. Since Season 2 launched, I’ve not been able to play.

I can log in just fine, but the lag and rubber banding is so severe that the game is currently unplayable.

Lots of people are saying it’s my connection, but of course, that’s just not true.

Where are you located btw? I’m from South Africa.

I wish they just used diablo 3 game engine - atleast game is playable.
