Players of Diablo 4 have recently reported a bug related to Cross Network Play, which is affecting one of the social features in the game. Despite the game receiving praise from players upon its release, it has not been exempt from criticism. Among the positive reception, some players have become frustrated due to encountering various bugs and glitches.
These bugs and glitches in Blizzard's new game have led to a range of situations, including one player losing their hardcore character in Diablo 4 and saying goodbye to almost 200 hours of gameplay. While these bugs have caused frustrating setbacks and hindered progress in the game, other players have experienced peculiar occurrences. For instance, one player encountered a bug that resulted in their Werebear character being without arms. Another player witnessed the notorious boss, the Butcher, being transformed into a pacifist due to a bug.
Other players have also encountered the same bug, as mentioned in the comments of megablue's post. Redditor frosty_farralon reported the issue and was informed by support that the developers are aware of players reporting this bug. However, the developers have not officially recognized it as a bug and are unable to track it as a specific problem. Unlike other bugs in Diablo 4 that can hinder players' progress, there are indications that the Cross-Network Play bug may only be a visual issue. Some Diablo 4 players have commented that despite the persistent appearance of the crossplay message, disabling crossplay does indeed function properly.
Blizzard remains committed to enhancing the performance of Diablo 4 through regular patches that aim to balance classes, resolve item-related problems, and tackle various other issues. This commitment is of utmost significance for the latest installment in the franchise, as Diablo 4 follows a live-service model. Given the continuous flow of new content after the game's launch, the potential for encountering issues is always present. Therefore, it is crucial for Diablo 4 players to promptly report any bugs or glitches through the designated channels, enabling the developers to address and resolve them effectively.
Diablo 4 is accessible on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
