Help: Lag, stuttering, freezes

PC General Discussion
1

Hello,

I run diablo 4 on my new laptop that I bought to play D4: it has i9, rtx4080 12GB, 32 GB ram, SSD drive, so it is more than enough to run D4 according to official requirements.

My D4 regularly lag/stutter/freeze in the following situations:

  • open/close inventory or map
  • open/close vendor’s menu
  • come to game after general menu
  • teleport/way point
  • enter/exit towns
  • change running with horse

My connection is fine

I listened of a lot of ppl having this problems, but I couldn’t find a solution on internet.

I hope Blizzard is working to fix this, in the meantime, is there someone here with good suggestions?

Thanks

Turn off crossplay if possible, it helps on console as well.

It’s probably not your PC man it’s the game.

It’s been getting worse for me as well. Lots of people are having these issues.

The game is devolving from a stability standpoint.

It was so good in early access but it’s actually getting pretty bad.

Even on low everything I get menu lag and massive loading lag now and never did in the beta or early access.

They broke something.

Restarting the game every so often helps.

Yeah this isn’t what he is talking about.

Have you been playing for an extended time? I’ve found that restarting my machine every once in a while helps. Like if I play for ~4 hours I’ll see some stuttering. Restarting puts it back to smooth. Hope that helps for you too.

This is indicative of a memory leak in the game.

It’s a pretty bad leak as well. The game sometimes won’t even close when I tell it to and I have to kill the process.

Nothing else on my PC has issues.

It’s the game.

It may, also might depend on how bad you feel it and when on how much RAM you have if that’s the case. I’m at 64GB.

Those are mem leak symptoms and its been affecting a lot of us since beta.

Blizzard still hasn’t acknowledged this btw.

It’s not a ram issue. I have everything on low and no other game lags.

It didn’t lag for me in the beta or early access.

It’s not a hardware issue. My GPU barely even warms up.

11

Oh I never suggested it’s a RAM issue. I’m simply saying if it’s a memory leak and it’s random access, your RAM may allow you to play for longer before feeling the effects of the memory leak.

Likewise, today it’s gotten way worst massive rubberbanding entering a NMD and crashing, huge FPS drops when im in a sticky situation e.g low HP, very strange it hasn’t happened this often before…

Thank you guys. I knew is is memory leak but I hoped for some good advice from you.

I will try to disable cross I don’t need. Bu I don’t think this will solve the problem

Its becouse milion of ppl constant reloging to reset dunegons, I remember the lags at Eridu ruins, its still present in open world.

Blizard give us reset button and we will stop lagging your server.

What might help, close twitch, youtube, forum. Everything what help to free internet. Reduce game details also helps. I play on old lap top just fine but majority of problems are from bad internet conection. So improve your internet provider.

But its mainly on Blizzard refusing to give us reset button.

Strangely enough, I am not having lag problems and I play for hours straight. I did run into the invisible wall in the city the first couple of days after the full release of the game, but nothing after that.

My PC is old. I am running a 1080ti in it.

16

No, you are wrong.
My issues are constantly present I would say 98/100 times when I open map, or inventory anche then I close them. I can not be player relogging (in any case the dungeons reset very fast… The time to go in town to sell).

The problem is more when I close intervafeces (eg. Map) to come back to play.

In any case each town portal I risk a crash, and other cases I listened in first message.

I hope Blizzard really go into this problem and fix the way D4 works with ram

Its only your problem I have zero issues on laptop 3 years old with gtx 1050Ti and only 10mb internet.
Second pc at home is with GTX 3080 playing at 4k with zero problems it has 250MB cabel internet tho.

Today’s the game laggy as hell…fps drops and big latency
