Lag spikes in hellfire and capstone and Nightmare dungeons. It’s not my ps5 or my internet. This is 100% blizzard servers causing these problems. Won’t let us post links recording this. Again blizzard after we keep posting 0 replies. Again why don’t devs actual just watch the videos and tell us it’s WORKING! I never had lag problems until recently before only problem was when they forgot are PlayStation keys another Bs problem that should never happen.

Same here, the lag in this game is terrible. I’m wired to my router and I have fiber. All my other games perform fine. I constantly deal with my character stuttering around in this game.

It’s unplayable. I’m trying to get my girlfriend into it with couch co op, but the lag deaths are putting both of us off. I’m about to ask for a refund if this doesn’t get fixed soon.

Same, I’ve run all the internet speed tests, reset my modem a gabillion times, called verizon and they checked it’s on blizzard’s end. I can’t play the game anymore right now because I’m constantly lagging and getting rubber band back half the map.
Please fix it blizz please.

They ignored all the lessons learned from D3. Online hosting doesn’t work for this style of game. Hardcore isn’t worth it because a single lag spike at the wrong moment kills. Most players aren’t after random encounters with strangers. The game being run online instead of local makes the game play significantly worse. Just losing the ability to pause and restart at the same point hours later is significant for me. I have a kid <1 year old, I can’t just keep playing till a convenient stopping point a lot of the time.
D3 was terrible online only and became significantly better when they switched to local play with the option to go online and group when you wanted. Hopefully they remember that with D4 pretty quickly.

I’m just perplexed by the lag, because this is a company with over 20 years of experience with live service games. You’d think over those years at least one person there would’ve written down what works and what doesn’t for server hosting.

Tonight was the first night since release i have seen a pretty good amount of lag and rubber banding.
My big issue is, and this is since season 1 or there abouts, is that my basic and core skills are ok, but anything else on a cooldown, I hit the button for it, I see the skill icon activate, but the skill doesn’t actually trigger. Sometimes I have to hit the button up to 7 times or even more (no exaggeration!) for the skill to actually work and I’m just giving up at this point.
I had lag on PS5 when using WiFi but switching to hardwire I’m completely fine and I use Mediacom which isn’t exactly the greatest isp.
Nope, its getting progressively worse.
Helltides are an absolute crapshoot on whether or not you’ll make it to the next chest without dying. I’ve had 4 instances in the last 2 days, where I’ve been at full health, lag, and dead. Even just moving across the map is jerky and really not fun.

This game is dead, no one of my clan play anymore all of them are bored of this weird game.
Please tell us how the game is dead? Because of lag? Lag mostly happens due to a strain on the servers, ergo player population. So if the game is dead, why is there lag?
Maybe you should stick to Pokémon then.
Go on pvp u will find 3 people farming and u will still have lag, lag problem its bcs server are taked from minecraft, how u can enjoy a game when ur clan quit and u dont find stranger to grp up ? 
drop rate from this week fall, farm on pvp are didnt give u anymore t4 and unique items, same for the wb he drop trash , u cant make matchup for gro up eith others player for make sigil soo, yea this game absoluty dead.
If we don’t count launch week, I don’t have lag at all on my PS5. It’s pretty obvious by now it’s on your end, not Blizzard’s.
I’ve played over 150 hours and it’s performing great.
I’m not saying YOU don’t have problems. I’m saying whatever is causing it is definitely not something Blizzard will be fixing.

How can you play when your clan quit? Um….find another clan? And who farms in the pvp area without turning off cross platform?
“The game is absolutely dead.” You are not playing the same game j am then.
If you think it is dead, you should just uninstall it and move on so the rest of us dont have to listen to your incessant whining.
It was a tiny bit laggy last night, but that was the first time i have seen it since launch……and it was nothing to puke all over the forums about.
Exactly, it should be clear by now that whatever the people on here are complaining about, Blizzard isn’t going to swoop in and fix it.
I have a lot of complaints about this game but lag is not one of them.
I did notice some really bad lag at the start of a world boss. Usually early in the morning. Happened again to me today. Identical to the last time

I’m having the same issues. Just lost my progress towards a helltide chest because of a lag death (2nd time in 3 days).
Blizzard insisted we use this new GaaS version of Diablo but the game clearly does NOT have the infrastructure to back it up.
Again, just you. Get a better internet provider.
