PS5 Controller Vibration not working anymore?

Hi, yesterday my controller vibration was working fine, but today it seems to be not working at all anymore. Has anyone seen this lately?
I have the same settings with vibration enabled in D4 options and in my ps5.
Thanks

Same here, my DualSense Edge stopped vibrating half an hour ago without any obvious reason. Please fix this since it feels very strange to play without any feedback.

P.S. Every other game on my PS5 works fine with controller vibration.

The patch for June 23 says “Fixed an issue where the Sorcerer’s “Ice Shards” ability would cause excessive controller vibration.” They fixed by removing the vibration entirely? That’s so lazy… The vibration for Incinerate still works. This is terrible. I’d rather have excessive vibration than nothing at all!!

I have the same issue too my controller was vibrating fine yesterday and is now no longer vibrating. It vibrates with other games just fine though. Blizzard please fix.

Thanks for the responses… Wow I had no idea that they did that hotfix… I actually liked the ice shards vibration (i am playing sorceress)

But most importantly, the vibration is VERY important for me in HC… because the vibration WARNS me for ground effects, damage overtime, any damage taken… especially when i am playing tired. It wakes me up… Now there’s none of that. It feels so different playing… Blizzard, PLEASE revert or fix this issue…

Hei,

Yes I have the same problem: Today in the morning, everything worked. But some minutes ago, in my latest play Session I have just noticed that as a sorcerer (using Iceshards and the ultimative ability) my PS5 controller is not vibrating anymore. This is very hard to get used to since I played 100 hours with a vibrating controller.

As far as I am concerned, before it was not the case that there was “excessive controller vibration”, but it was just fine. Now the haptic response feels very weird and not satisfying . I would prefere to re-fix this issue back to the case before the june 23 patch. Thank you.

Same here, it’s like playing with a blindfold and I absolutely hate it. I guess I’m sitting out this evening.

XB Series X here. It stopped mid combat for me. Noticed immediately! The game feels almost unplayable now without it, and is also significantly less enjoyable to play without the haptic feedback. I hate this and I hope this is fixed today as I don’t think I can play without feedback, it feels so off/weird without, and you rely on it so much for critical combat feedback.

I also thought the haptic feedback was great on Ice Shards, I actually liked the massive ‘wind up’ on huge mob cluster ricochets! It gave you that ‘massive spell power’ feeling!

Plus it is critical for defensive reactions in general (poison pools/dots/mob hits etc).

Please fix this ASAP Blizzard! Don’t make me go a weekend or a week until this is patched as I can’t play without it! =)

Yeah same issue here for me on PS5. Now the vibration is essentially nonexistent. I liked having the feedback from Iceshards, especially from the Iceshards enchantment shooting everywhere after freezing everything with Frost Nova. It was super satisfying.

Whoever complained that it was “excessive” and prompted this change had no idea what they were talking about…

Please revert this change! It was such a great help in telling me when I was out of mana when I tried casting and it wouldnt vibrate. As others have mentioned it as well, it kinda ruins the whole spec for me now that Im used to it.

We need to make this issue more visible. Please spam Adam, Rob and Diablo twitter page with this. It’s frustrating that their so called “fix” is basically just removing the haptic feedback at all

Having the same issue. Playing an ice shards sorcerer on PS5 but I no longer have DualSense vibration for any of my abilities. It’s a huge huge hit to immersion and honestly I might wait until it’s fixed before I play again. It feels awful to play with a dead controller.

My controller will vibrate erratically and not stop for anything except me keaving the area. It seems to be a locational issue as i can sometimes find an exact line where itbwill start and stop.
