Many players are becoming frustrated with a repetitive message that keeps appearing in Diablo 4's on-screen message box. Despite the game's success and positive reviews since its launch a month ago, there are still certain issues that players hope to see fixed.
One notable element of Diablo 4's user interface is a convenient message box located on the lower right side of the screen. This box displays various types of notifications during gameplay, including recent NPC dialogue, important actions of nearby players, and information about the current session. One of the standout features of Diablo 4 is the optional crossplay functionality across different platforms. When enabled, a message notifying the player in large yellow text appears in the message box. However, a recent bug is causing this specific message to continuously pop up approximately every 30 seconds, much to the annoyance of players.
User DogBt recently shared a meme on the Diablo 4 subreddit, featuring actor Leslie Nielsen from the comedy film Airplane! The meme humorously pokes fun at the game's repetitive crossplay message. Although the message box isn't overly obtrusive on the user interface, the bright yellow text of the crossplay message can be distracting, especially when it pops up every 30 seconds. Additionally, the spam notification occupies the message box, causing other, more useful information like NPC dialogue to vanish too quickly.
Some commenters under the post mentioned that disabling crossplay doesn't prevent the annoying message from appearing. Others pointed out that players need to log out and log back into Diablo 4 to ensure the change takes effect. Another user in the comments mocked a different message in the game, which notifies players about closing the blue portal they used to fast travel into a town when they leave that town on foot. This on-screen message can become irritating for players already familiar with portal mechanics, as it displays as a large text box on the screen instead of appearing in the message box on the side.
Diablo 4 has achieved great success, but fans are expressing their desire for certain improvements. They are particularly keen on seeing the addition of more extensive social features and the removal of the bothersome "This skill isn't ready yet" pop-up. Given that Diablo 4 is a continually evolving live service game, it is only reasonable for fans to anticipate that these concerns will be addressed in the near future.
Diablo 4 can be enjoyed on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
