Diablo 4 players furious as \u201cunplayable\u201d lag ruins single-player content Activision BlizzardDiablo 4 users who only play solo are furious that lag issues constantly make the game \u201cunplayable.\u201d Diablo 4 offers a robust experience for those who prefer to fight off demons by their lonesome. However, like Diablo 3 before it, Blizzard\u2019s latest adventure requires that players remain online at all times. Developers and publishers typically use this mandate to reduce the chances of cheating and piracy. Yet, solo players see it as nothing short of a detriment, especially since server errors and the like can shut games down at a moment\u2019s notice. In terms of Diablo 4, these hiccups have caused players to lose Hardcore characters and restart pivotal gameplay moments, all because of something beyond their control. Diablo 4 players lash out about lag problems plaguing the game A Redditor and D4 player recently went on a rant about the title\u2019s ongoing lag issues. In the Reddit post, the user particulary questions the need for the online-only structure and wonders why solo players can\u2019t explore Sancturary offline. What precipitated the rant was the player\u2019s loss of a Blood Harvest event after spending several nights saving up 150 blood lures to activate it. The cause of the event loss? Diablo\u2019s \u201cunplayable lag kicking in.\u201d Users in the thread were quick to explain that playing offline is out of the question because the game wasn\u2019t designed that way. Still, many agree the current state of things is indeed frustrating. Several people chimed in to say they, too, have lost progress because of Diablo 4\u2019s lag troubles. \u201cYep, I just lost a hardcore character yesterday because of D4 lag (and I have fibre network connection),\u201d one person commented. Another fan shared a similar experience, \u201cLevel 81 hardcore necro lost because of lag 2 nights ago.\u201d Others suggested turning off Diablo 4\u2019s crossplay feature, given that it\u2019s known to cause trouble. The original poster claimed they\u2019ve tried that and still experience lag at high rates. One person went as far as to say that apart from turning off crossplay, there\u2019s nothing anyone can do \u2013 \u201cit\u2019s a Diablo problem.\u201d And that problem likely isn\u2019t being helped by masses of players with extra time signing on during the holiday season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
