I'm getting a lot of lag

I’ve been getting network lag since beta. I’ve tried 100 different things from WinMTR, trace routes to updates, etc. I see no latency that can explain the rubber banding and freezing when playing D4. I love the game, but am getting angry at Blizzard for their lack of response to this issue. I have a ticket open, but I’m not holding my breath on that based on what I’ve seen so far in regards to support.

How do you see latency in-game?

EDIT:
I figured it out.
Press CTRL+R to cycle through showing FPS or Latency down in the left corner of the screen.

Playing on PS5 and it’s very laggy today. Ran much smoother in the beta. Every time I dash I lose frames and stutter.

Not impressed

I think they need to manage the server load properly, it looks like they haven’t expected so many people trying to play at a specific time, don’t see any other explanation.

When I’m alone in a dungeon or generally an isolated location, all is completely fine and smooth but in cities… I’ll try to disable the cross-play today, probably the only thing that could help until they can upgrade the servers a bit.

I don’t have such issues with other online games, although I’m not on a fibre, 60 GHz Wi-Fi with 200/100 bandwidth when nothing is being downloaded etc. must be enough :smiley: And I also doubt it could be a performance issue, I do have everything at ultra but at 1080p, RX 5700 XT, 32 GB RAM and Ryzen 7 2700X should manage just fine.

Also lagging a lot in France on PS5, worst in the evening and late, when everybody is playing, it is a little better during day but it is really shame because i can’t actually play properly with my friends… doing the campaign alone and having lags…. This is really annoying against boss…

Almost cannot play today !

I go from 50 ms… i teleport, i go at 350 ms, i go to capital, i get 800 ms, i go elsewhere back to under 100ms, than i go in a cave, 300ms… teleport back to capital, 60 ms… that make no sense… even yesterday in a groupe with friend, i was having 100ms in dungeon, and him was at 200 with many freeze spike to 1000+ ms !

Sht loads of lag spikes, ending with death and repair costs… This is the best “worst” thing I can say for this shtty gane. No action, no fun, no purpose… Simply the worst in all Diablo series.

I stopped using horse for the amount of times I got lag spikes, dismounted and died.
Its getting to the point of unplayable. Not sure what has happened over last few days because it was fine before.

Constant lag spikes and rubberbanding.
I have good internet connection and the problem only happens during Diablo 4.
It’s unplayable and it’s not on my end because all other games work fine online.

My husband and I played both betas with no latency issues at all. We played all through early release up until today (all weekends as well as morning & evening on weekdays), every day, with no lag at all.
A moment ago I read a post on Icy Veins saying a patch was implemented (today or yesterday?) which would, among other things, fix stability.
I really hope I read the date wrong because even as stubborn as I am, tonight the game is now unplayable, freezing on every pull for 5-30 seconds. If that was a fix, please unfix. Thank you :slight_smile:

I’m also having constant lag spikes and rubberbanding.
Playing on PS5 from Ireland,EU
Latency problems only during Diablo 4, all other games work perfectly online.

These are the latest official patch notes Blizzard posted on June 10th.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where Necromancer players would sometimes be stuck at the character selection screen.
  • Fixed an issue where control inputs would stop responding when a player teleports or zones in and out of a dungeon.
  • Fixed a graphical issue where black textures would flash after teleporting into specific towns.

Here is the link where they post patch notes:
Diablo IV Patch Notes

Same here. Diablo 4 is unplayable at the moment. Constant lag, rubberbanding, and disconnections. Often immediately when entering the game. Sometimes the game can hang when booting. Login screen will freeze without showing the “Logging in…”. Otherwise the lag starts immediately after joining a server. The game doesn’t seem to want to respect the disabled crossplay settings either. Fine with all other games. Restarted the modem, reset connection settings, replaced the modem, and attempted several other troubleshooting strategies to no avail. Gigabit internet. It’s likely not my network. Internet is fine with all other games, streaming, etc.

@ about 5PM eastern game begins to lag & rubberband for rest of the evening. This is a server issue.

Why didn’t they allow you see both simultaneously?

Game has been running bad since the last patch. Lag in open world or engaging in large mobs, stutters etc. So many deaths with this it is getting to the point I finding it hard to carry on.
