Diablo 4 still suffers from game-breaking couch co-op bug Blizzard EntertainmentDiablo 4 players can\u2019t believe a game-breaking couch co-op bug is still wreaking havoc in the ARPG. Reports about a local co-op glitch in Diablo 4 began circulating during the beta period in March 2023. One D4 Forums post identified the problem on PS5, with the user noting that they\u2019d encountered a \u201ccrippling bug which reduces the attack speed while playing couch co-op.\u201d Blizzard developers never addressed the issue and the full game launched without a fix in tow. As such, this particular problem continues to impact those who play Diablo 4\u2019s local co-op mode across all platforms. Since over a year has passed, the community is trying to bring the ongoing error to Blizzard\u2019s attention. A Redditor highlighted the glitch in a post that details how attack speed is adversely affected in couch co-op sessions. Players running an attack speed build will notice certain bonuses don\u2019t apply when teaming up with family or friends for local play. The user explained, \u201cYou will be capped at 100%\u2026 and no amount of attack speed you stack on your character will make any difference. Any build that uses attack speed in any meaningful way is broken.\u201d Worst still, the Redditor claims Diablo 4\u2019s couch co-op bug also causes \u201cbroken skill animations,\u201d audio hiccups, and stuttering when attacking and moving simultaneously. Sometimes these issues only affect one player, other instances will see them impact both. Either way, at least one person always gets the raw end of the deal. The user doesn\u2019t think it\u2019s a network-specific bug, since one person can leave and rejoin for a temporary fix. Other players responding to the post noted that it is a widespread issue. One reply features over two dozen D4 Forums links about the same bug. In addition, some in the thread said this feedback has helped them realize while playing with others feels so different. Reads one such comment, \u201cHoly sh*t!! So this is why I felt like I was playing two different games with my wife logged in or not. I just put it down to enemy HP in multiplayer, but couldn\u2019t ever find the numbers\u2026\u201d The hope is that fans bringing this issue to light will catch Blizzard\u2019s attention and result in a fix sooner rather than later. With Season 5 and Vessel of Hatred on the horizon, Diablo 4 players will soon have plenty of reasons to give couch co-op another try.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
