I have been trying to play but today the lag is the worst I’ve ever seen it. I’m standing there for like 10 to 15 seconds with nothing happening and then BAM! fast forward and usually close to dead or dead.
The game is barely playable,
Anyone else experiencing this?

So much for the memory leak fix?

Yeah, they try to explain it away every time.
Blizzard Customer support keeps posting junk on Twitter about brain dead fixes.
“Is your modem plugged in”
I think it’s a combination of coding, sub-standard servers, inexperience in the right places.
I would say we are still beta testing it for them but I had less issues in Beta and Server Slam combined.

I ran a Hell Tide tonight and it was skipping and rubber-banding all over the place so bad that I quit for the night

Helltides are the only part of the game where the game servers actually lag for me. Any other time, if I’m lagging, it’s caused by my internet connection. I’m sure it’s because of the ridiculous number of spawned mobs in the open world.

Yeah, I managed to get enough for one mystery chest and I considered myself lucky. It was bad.

With that kind of lag the game is unplayable. I’ve tried to change graphics to low on everything and looks like it got worse XD
Must agree I was warping around in the open world.
The client side memory leak at this point is to put it mildly pretty much a mandatory relief valve like a dam flood gate letting rising water levels drain instead of crashing the entire city/system. They did not fix the “overhead” issue or as they put it “expense” of adding stash tabs they put in a stop gap to control the mass exodus of people leaving the game over QOL complaints then they got hit with not one but two game breaking exploit eternal to season wealth transfers and trade dupe that added more overhead, D4 is in a sad state of technical snafu thats going to take a massive effort to overcome.

Since yesterday i recognized that i do not get lags at the worldbosses anymore. Did two worldbosses today. No lag. Rubberbanding is still an issue.
First thing is to determine what part of the US this happens most often in. I’m East Coast, So i know there is a long hippity hop going on. I really don’t know why Blizzard after all these years does not have East Coast servers.
How long had you been logged in before the boss fight? I was online for the AM boss fight after about 3 hours of play including a helltide, several nmd’s and lagged the whole Wandering Death fight for the afternoon fight I closed app, rebooted and relogged 3 minutes before fight and didn’t lag at all.
15 Minutes.
Ok. I play a few hours and will see if it changes.
who knows, maybe they will fix it in 2 weeks. Maybe Season 3. I gave up expecting any real attempt at fixing performance. The devs clearly either don’t care or are incompetent and cannot fix the issue. The game eats RAM unlike any other game I’ve ever seen and it’s not even that spectacular looking compared to other AAA titles. Truly is a terribly coded poorly optimized game. A shame, cuz I like it.

Because a lot of east coast states have consumer laws that make out of state companies that want to do business in that state have a local branch in that state and are required to settle all disputes in that states justice system the DMCA gave protections on a federal level to software manufacturers to do business digitally across state lines. People like to think that the reasons we have DLC instead of physical copies of software now is because of cost and ease of delivery and that is partially the reason but it isn’t the main purpose behind DLC its a lot more nefarious from a consumer perspective. I keep pointing to this but a recent ruling by the SCOTUS in Mallory vs Norfolk Southern Railroad is going to end this practice for software manufacturers.

More bureaucracy, It figures.
Bureaucracy is a code word for middleman or bagman the shady dude in the back alley that takes the money from the lobbyist to the politicians so the politician can use plausible deniability nowhere else in the entire justice system can anyone use ignorance as a defense.
Can you provide some additional context? Details such as the area you’re in, and if that changes when you move elsewhere, if it seems to spike with the use of certain skills, around certain mobs, etc. If it’s while standing still, can you pull up task manager and see if this is the memory leak issue that’s been reported? If you can grab a short video clip and post a link, that would be helpful as well.
