How to fix bugs in Diablo 4 beta?
Without surprise, Diablo 4 in beta faces to its share of problems. Whether these bugs affect the PC, PlayStation or Xbox versions, here is a list of known issues with a solution if there is one.
- By triggering the Lorath intro scene when it’s light outside, the shadows of the players and Lorath flicker until the end of the prologue. Skipping the scene prevents this bug.
- In-game voice chat may not be available.
- Blizzard clarifies that performance issues can occur with players using older consoles or a low-powered PC. For these last ones, changing graphics options can help.
- The button Play at the top of the character selection screen does not always work.
- Long waits are to be expected, especially this weekend. Blizzard tells players not to leave the queue even if the counter is at zero and nothing is happening. If you leave the show, you will go back to the bottom of the list, that would be a shame.
- The second player can have difficulty joining a game with a pre-existing hero when cooperating during the prologue of Diablo 4.
- The highest difficulty of Diablo 4 may prevent returning to character selection menu if the players are not dead. Blizzard promises a fix in the final release.
Rest assured, as this is a beta, Blizzard will not delay to fix these bugs based on feedback from the community.
