My game crashes VERY frequently. I can’t run any dungeons solo, because I will almost certainly crash while doing it, thereby losing my progress.

I’m just trying to finish the thing, and not being able to grind reliably is killing my enjoyment of this game.

It doesn’t happen predictably, and doesn’t happen when I’m doing any specific thing in particular.

Not even able to guess based on time passed. Sometimes I can come back and rejoin my party and instant crash, every now and then I can get over an hour.

It’s not a hardware problem or driver problem.

I don’t even know what else to do about it. I had been hearing others had the problem, but that quieted down a few patches ago. It never got better for me. This has persisted since I got the game about a week or so after launch.

Is it really just me now? I really want to make some progress, but side quests and cellars can only help so much and I don’t always have friends on. Playing a dungeon over and over in hopes it won’t crash this time is extremely frustrating. Can make it through maybe 1 out of 3 times.

Even if it was just once out of ten it would be too much to want to keep trying.

    I run diablo 4 in linux and it is an absolute memory hog. Often using 9GB+ of memory but I get several hours of gameplay before it becomes anywhere near a problem. Hopefully you can get this figured out!

      You also have to take into account the VRAM. The 970 only has 4GB which is small by today’s standards. IDK about Diablo but I’ve had issues with running out of VRAM on 8GB rtx 2080 running at 1080p before with newer games.

        That seems like a possibility. I haven’t ever played anything where that’s been an issue yet, but this could explain it.

        Back in my day 4GB was huge for main memory, and beyond extreme for vram. Once vram existed I mean. I need to get at least on the 4 digit card wagon. 970 is ancient now.
