6. Try Using Another Network Connection
It’s also recommended to use another network connection at your end to ensure there is no issue with the internet connection. Sometimes issues with poor or unstable network connectivity might trigger multiple conflicts with the game loading as well as map loading issues. You can try using another Wi-Fi or a mobile hotspot to check for the issue again. If you’re still unable to find the issue then contact your ISP (internet service provider) and get technical help.
7. Check the Server Status
You should also check the Diablo server status (online services) from the third-party DownDetector webpage. At the time of writing this article, we can see that there are some outage reports that have been claimed by plenty of players in the last 24 hours. So, if you’re also facing server downtime then wait for a couple of hours and try again later. In case, there is no downtime report surfaced at the time you’re trying then move to the next method.
8. Increase the Virtual Memory
The chances are high that setting up the paging file size for the virtual memory should be equal to or higher than the RAM capacity of the system. Overall, you’ll have to increase the virtual memory size on your PC from the storage space so the respective game can run properly using the extra virtual memory space. If you want to change the virtual memory paging file size, then follow the steps below properly:
Please Note: You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group to complete this process. The network policy settings may also cause such issues if your computer is connected to a network.
- Open the Start menu > Search and open Control Panel.
- Click on Performance and Maintenance > Go to System.
- From the Advanced tab, click on Settings under Performance.
- On the Advanced tab, click on Change under Virtual Memory.
- Under Drive [Volume Label], click on the drive that contains the paging file you want to change.
- Under Paging file size for the selected drive, click on System Managed Size > Click on Set.
- If this option hasn’t been flagged, restart the PC after flagging it.
- If the system paging file size is used to be System Managed then under Paging file size for selected drive, click on Custom size.
- Now, type a new paging file size in megabytes in the Initial size (MB) or Maximum size (MB) box. [It should be 1.5x-2x higher than the physical RAM]
- Finally, click on Set > Restart the PC to apply changes.
9. Reinstall Diablo 4
Last but not least, you can uninstall and reinstall the Diablo 4 game on the PC by following the steps below to ensure there is no issue with the game installation.
