Unplayable after patching

  • trying to load a toon = game freezes, unresponsive, then crashes
  • trying to start a new toon = game freezes at world loading screen, unresponsive, then crashes
  • breathing = game freezes, unresponsive, then crashes

this is what you get from a billion dollar company. PC up to date, latest GPU drivers.

You’re not the only one. Happening to us too.

I’m not sure how they’re expecting me to buy the expansion when my game is freezing all the time. I literally just died in a helltide 3 times back to back because the game freezes/hardlocks for about 3 seconds (my respawn point was within the same pack of mobs).

No way I’m buying expac and I doubt this’ll get fixed any time soon, it existed in S4.

Unplayable here too would think they would fix their crappy game that they want so much for.

Make sure Diablo IV is set to high performance mode in your Windows Graphics settings.

this is a decent write up how to set the proper graphics settings by Asus. Scroll down the page and select win11 or win10

Anyone know any fixes for this trash update that no one can play and blizzard doesn’t care about?

Happening to me as well. I can get to character select and the load screen but once it finishes loading I get a windows pop up for “Diablo 4 Retail is not responding”. Tried updating drivers, Bnet client and restarting pc.

Did fresh game install, did clean removal of nvidia drivers went back to 552.22 from another post and still no luck. Literally everything was fine until this patch yesterday.

Interestingly I can launch my barb in eternal realm just fine no issues at all. But everything in seasonal realm is freezing or crashing. I created a new character in seasonal realm and it sort of worked okay but still stuttering. My 59 rogue in seasonal is completely locked up now its like 30 seconds to open map or items

Disabling crossplay working (slight better) for me for now

That worked for me for about 10 minutes and went back into a crash loop

Yea I thought it was all resolved and immediately started the 5 second freezing and then 10 and then 30 second freezing. Hopefully patch soon with some fix otherwise just unplayable
