Following the release of Diablo 3 new patch, fans are complaining of several issues the new update causes. Game developer Blizzard Entertainment is currently investigating the reported problems, assuring fans to keep the community informed.
Diablo 3 patch 2.4 was out few days ago for Playstation 4, PC and Xbox One introducing the Greyhollow Island, new events and add-ins. However, as gathered by Push Square, the excitement died down after fans learned the update has a downbeat impact for consoles. Knowing how Blizzard produced sharply tuned game, patch 2.4 brings frame rate twitches and lags.
VG24/7 held that Playstation 4 and Xbox One users are the one who struggle the most of the massive performance issues such as input lag, faltering and crashes after the installation of the Diablo 3 patch update. The issues were alarming that forum threads on Battle.net were flock by disappointed fans reporting the same experiences.
The source added that for PS4 version, it was not clear what causes the glitches. But, the frame-rate drops for the PS4 and Xbox One are very noticeable while the solo combat comes jerky too.
Meanwhile, Game Spot shared that Blizzard Entertainment is doing investigations on the reported issues at this time. Blizzard community manager Andrew Kauz assures Diablo 3 fans that they are looking into the issues. He even asked players to provide information to help the development team locate what triggers the anomalies and arrange for solutions as soon as possible.
The following information has been requested (via Game Spot):
- Platform (Xbox One or PS4)
- Region (US, Europe, etc)
- Character Class
- Skills used
- Are you playing solo or party? If party, with how many other players?
- Do you notice this at specific in-game locations?
- For those experiencing menu issues, what menus?
- Description of performance issues. Is framerate dropping constant? Do you notice it sometimes more than others? Do you notice it when performing certain tasks?
- Is there any other information you think could be relevant?
- How much free space is available on your system?
Diablo community is hoping that the problems will be address soon as Blizzard Entertainment comforts fans they will provide more information.
