Diablo 4 Lag Rubber Banding And Stutter Explained

While you wait for your Diablo 4 connection to stabilize, we have expert guides for every Diablo 4 class and the best Diablo 4 builds. Be sure to check out the dungeon, stronghold, and world boss locations to expedite your progress too. Now, let’s talk Diablo 4 rubber banding and lag.

What is Diablo 4 lag?

Diablo 4 lag is the unfortunate result of a poor server connection and high latency, and it has the side effect of rubber banding, random stutters, and occasional disconnections. While you can sometimes attribute Diablo 4 stutter and what some might term as ‘lag’ to hardware issues, most reported rubber banding cases are almost certainly because of server-side issues.

How do I fix Diablo 4 lag?

Here are some steps you can take to fix Diablo 4 lag:

Is Diablo 4 down? Make sure the servers are live first. Check your internet connection is stable. Check your server ping – a high ping can result in instability. Disconnect and reconnect your rig to the internet. Reboot the game. Use a wired connection, as these are more stable than wireless. Turn off Diablo 4 crossplay. Play outside of peak hours. If none of the above works, you can rule out hardware issues.

With so many players jumping online to play Diablo 4 at once, it’s no surprise that some technical hiccups have arisen. We’re hopeful that as we get further from the game’s launch, fewer players will be logging on, and, as a result, lag and rubberbanding will become less common.
That said, you can still use our Diablo 4 best settings guide, check out the Diablo 4 system requirements, and see which options most affect your FPS to rule out any potential hardware issues. At this point, you might be left wishing for a Diablo 4 offline mode or at least a way to play Diablo 4 solo until the servers stabilize. We wouldn’t blame you.
