The Lag is from YOUR Servers!

Blizzard-D4 FIX your lag issues and rubbber-banding!!! I cannot even enjoy the game I spent $$ on for the Best package, without lagging every 10 seconds for over 7 seconds+ Ive searched my soul and my PC for the sources of this Lag and I have narrowed it down to YOU GUYS, and the Lack of Money you wish to spend (which is a FRACTION of what you’ve made from us purchasing this game) to Fix this HORRIBLE Lag! I have done NUMEROUS internet speed tests from Multiple sources, and my connection is SUPER FAST… I use an Asus ROG Zephyr G14 gaming laptop that has MORE than enough resources to run the Requirements of your game, and then some…
I have updated all of my Drivers, checked ALL of my CPU and GPU settings , as well as closed EVERYTHING possible that would be running in the backround, yet I cannot Do a single Nightmare Dungeon push to a higher level because i lag up or 7secs+ then DIE 4x … the last time i was at the boss, on my way running to the boss door to unlock it, (after clearing everything using 3 deaths(due to lag) and I lagged, then froze up… apparently a small trash mob decided to rise up from the ground i was walking over (although i couldnt see it because my screen was froze due to lag) 10 seconds later it unlags and i am dead, killed and kicked out of the dungeon for running out of respawns. This has happened 8 times to me in the last 2 days… THE PROBLEM IS YOU AND YOUR SERVERS, NOT ME! so change your response to “diablo 4 lagging google searches” and FIX your Game and Servers! Stop blaming the lag on us!!! If i still played WoW, I am CERTAIN i could play WoW with Diablo 4 running in the backround and have ZERO lag in WoW… That’s because apparently its ALL you give a **** about! FIX DIABLO4

for information purposes, maybe it has something to do with my Geographical location… If you need more servers put them in Baltimore,MD!

I didn’t read anywhere in your post that you tried all the lag fixes that help some people.
Try these things. They seems to help some people:

Disable Hardware Acceleration (In the battlenet launcher settings)

Open: C:\Users\USER\OneDrive\Documents\Diablo IV (USER will be whatever name is used on your computer) and open the file LocalPrefs.txt Then edit the line:
DisableChromaEffects “0”
to look like:
DisableChromaEffects “1”

Open the in-game settings and set the following:

Socal> Cross-Network Play (off)

Socal> Cross-Network Communications (off)

Graphics> NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency (Enabled or Enabled+Boost) (Or whatever says low latency)

Set all shadow qualities to off, or low as possible.

Set Refractions to off, or low as possible

If you use fullscreen, make sure the resolution, and Resolution Percent is set exactly to the same as your desktop.

Graphics> Display (set to Windowed)

Turn DLSS on.

Honestly man, I am going crazy trying everything… So if one of these things you listed help, I will be grateful and let you know. So far though, in the last week, the lag has gotten so much worse for me compared to when diablo 4 first came out… I had barely any lag, but I imagine after more and more people play, its gotten worse (or possibly just the season lag).
For the last week I would play diablo4 for 45 minutes, Lag so bad id fail (easily beatable) nightmare dungs due to insane lag… I would close Diablo and spend about an hour looking online for fixes, reddits, youtube videos and blizzard forums, would try the fixes, retry Diablo 4 , Lag still, and spend more time looking for a fix… on and on for a week… I appreciate you not replying to my post with the same Anger that I wrote it (being frustrated…) and offered suggestions… I REALLY hope one of these works… Thanks!

UPDATE I am doing all of these suggestions now, under graphics for Adapter I have 2 choices 1: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 with Max-Q Design or
2: AMD Radeon™ Graphics
I have been using the first one… As far as Foreground and Background FPS does raising or lowering that help? Thank for the help! I will try out these things and let you know how they work out!
