  • Nyx_Asher Nyx Asher 🌈🎭 (@Nyx_Asher) reported

    @lucidxLoch @PezRadar @RodFergusson I see lots of people asking about this but have yet to see any kind of response from them over the last five days regarding the issue.

  • iiiTsJayyy Jay Abner (@iiiTsJayyy) reported

    @Y0vrFace @Necryre @PezRadar Yeah console players complained they were spending too many skill and attribute points by “accident” I play on pc mostly, but have d2R on series x and switch and I had no problems during closed beta before they changed it.

  • DesMephisto DesMephisto 💙 (World of Warriors) (@DesMephisto) reported

    @PezRadar Was leveling with a friend my sound went out in act 2 sewers normal then my game crashed 3 minutes later and I couldn't rejoin the game. I made a game and he wasn't able to join mine either. "a game with that name no longer exists" is I believe the error.

  • DesMephisto DesMephisto 💙 (World of Warriors) (@DesMephisto) reported

    @PezRadar Oh thank god! Is there any word on the error about joining friends games?

  • phrobozz Phrobozz (@phrobozz) reported

    @PezRadar What's the deal with PS5 D2R game finder? I've tried 50+ times to find games for common quests and only found 2 games. Are there issues/errors with the matchmaking? Allow multi choices or allow in-progress games (seems to only work if players make game simultaneously).

  • MonkieRB Ryan Broderick (@MonkieRB) reported

    @PezRadar We need pc lobbies across console the match making is horrible no games I'm sorry but ur console party finder is a fail same with taking away full world PK can no longer chase people in caves and my act 2 might merc keeps switching auras per difficulty please fix this love d2

  • AndyTechGuy Andy (@AndyTechGuy) reported

    @Dolby @Xbox @GearsofWar Unfortunately it's a mess on 2020 and 2021 Sony TVs as there is no Dolby Vision Game Mode and thus the input lag is significant. :(

  • Dman51735060 Dman (@Dman51735060) reported

    @PezRadar Ate the issues with console d2r being addressed at all. Im really regretting buying it so far. Any news on these issues would be nice to hear. Sure im not the only one either

  • JayTimberline Jay Timberline (@JayTimberline) reported

    @Dolby @Xbox @GearsofWar Did you fix Dolby Vision at 120fps or is it only working at 60hz? I’d take the faster refresh rate + HDR10 vs better color

  • GreenLinkV2 Eric P (@GreenLinkV2) reported

    @PezRadar are you guys aware of perforance issues even with high end computers?? Like high power usage, choppy frame rate, etc

  • giracuellos tuvieja (@giracuellos) reported

    @ShreddeHead @Qwik @PezRadar and that guy got promoted after shifting the blame for the AVX problem into US.

  • zachki5 zachki (@zachki5) reported

    @PezRadar gratz. any new on AVX issue? man i wanna play

  • UnorthodoxedT UnorthodoxedTalks (@UnorthodoxedT) reported

    @PezRadar Audio? Seriously?.... How about you guys fix the "your connection has been interrupted" problem hundreds of pc players are having? People(me included) have had tickets submitted and its been days and days with no response. The game is unplayable and your worried about audio? Wow

  • nonstopchain 👀 sheesh (@nonstopchain) reported

    @CTRLHypeWall @CoalitionGears Problem is they won't respond to me at all cause I'm banned but yeah I know what you're telling me

  • giracuellos tuvieja (@giracuellos) reported

    @PezRadar where's the avx fix? are we supposed to beg for it more time? kneel before devs because they are rockstars?

  • Nyx_Asher Nyx Asher 🌈🎭 (@Nyx_Asher) reported

    @lucidxLoch @PezRadar @RodFergusson Hey, I'm curious if you have an offline and online character with the same name? I read that was the problem so I deleted my online character. I'm not convinced that was the issue but it would be interesting to know.

  • Death2uTv Death2uTV (@Death2uTv) reported

    @PezRadar Hi Pezradar I was wondering about the drop rate issue here back in the days it dropped good items for my high char magic find all the time, here it drops nothing at all its all garbage I never find anything for days this never happened to me on original diablo2 low lvl gear drops

  • RodFergusson Rod Fergusson (@RodFergusson) reported

    @Nyx_Asher @lucidxLoch @PezRadar It was an issue but has been patched on PC and we're fixing it in the next console patch.

  • Biergaertner69 michael wurst (@Biergaertner69) reported

    @PezRadar @Diablo Great! Now all we need is a D2R PTR build including the AVX fix, to get us faster into the game while supporting your QA dpt. testing, at no risks for live customers

  • lucidxLoch Loch (@lucidxLoch) reported

    @Nyx_Asher @PezRadar @RodFergusson I can confirm I experienced the bug while an online and offline character both had the same name. Ymmv, I didn't test the fix and immediately jumped to online play. It'a been smooth sailing for a few days.

  • slaughtermanenj YeBoiDungus (@slaughtermanenj) reported

    @PezRadar i would i always crash on the ancients for some reason

  • zianicon Zian (@zianicon) reported

    @PezRadar @VvisionsStudio is there an ETA, when we can expect the AVX fix? Pre-ordering a game based on the positive experience in both Betas, which suddenly requires a CPU feature and never have been announced is not so cool.

  • RTIMM12 RTIMM1 (@RTIMM12) reported

    @PezRadar But what about Diablo 2 Resurected, a lot of stuff is still broken on PC and consoles are still lacking proper multiplayer functions like custom lobbies and in game chat. Diablo 2 Resurected is practically still in beta. #Diablo2Resurrected

  • Bvar83 Владимир Бутенко (@Bvar83) reported

    @PezRadar Fix merc AI so they run out of fire lake created under their feet

  • CTRLHypeWall HypeWall 🏳️‍🌈🇬🇧 (@CTRLHypeWall) reported

    @nonstopchain @CoalitionGears If you got the error message, you just need to wait a bit and it’ll appear in your account

  • scarletmxth ScarletMoth (@scarletmxth) reported

    @CoalitionGears @Kate_JRayner @UnrealEngine hey it won't let me redeem/buy the pride flags from the store. says there's an issue with online services?

  • JNCO_suave Sandy (@JNCO_suave) reported

    @PezRadar Fix the random invincible enemies lol they take zero damage. It’s us ually after I TP back.

  • danteafk dante`afk (@danteafk) reported

    @PezRadar I can't login into online mode since over 72 hours, your game is garbage and no mod support is garbage x10. Bring in the QoL from Path of Diablo and Project Diablo 2.

  • 003atom_ant300 Dr_AtomAnt (opinions are mine) (@003atom_ant300) reported

    @PezRadar I forgot to mention this issue exists in offline play.

  • Neonshadow Arthur (@Neonshadow) reported

    @GearsofWar Haven't played Gears 5 online in a long while. Hopped on today, and found that shot registration is still garbage. Why is this still an issue this many years in?
