network d/c when I teleport into/out rifts(1)Category: Technical SupportJune-13-2014 12:38 PM PDT (9 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
I keep getting network disconnects when I teleport into/out of rifts. Usually this is annoying but just now I have lost another hardcore character. Again.

The first time I didn't complain. It was a big loss but I could recuperate. This time the loss is huge and I don't see how I could have avoided this at all. Full tals set, ring of grandeur, light of grace, azurewrath, I finally had a great wizard and I was really happy to start enjoying the torment difficulties.

My computer only has 2gb of RAM. So loading screens take a long time. Like 5-30 seconds for any loading screen. When I have a witch doctor in my party, I'm lucky to keep the fps at 11 or higher because of the insane spell effects all over the screen and 20 minions running around.

I teleport into the rift, I'm hitting the potion button just in case while the screen is loading, then the screen changes and it says NETWORK DISCONNECT and in the UI it says in red letters YOU ARE ALREADY AT FULL HEALTH.

I click OK and go back to menu, and I'm dead.

Is this intentional? Why do I have to send out this message in a bottle into a massive ocean of forum posts hoping someone will read it and maybe just maybe help me? Are there any changes planned so people stop dying just from a lack of RAM like me? (A simple buff/debuff of immunity and losing all damage output until you perform an action seems like common sense)

Please Blizzard, I need your help, because I don't think I can shrug it off this time. And I've shrugged a lot off waiting 9 years for diablo 3 to come out.

DirtyBanana,

There's really not much I can suggest for you if your computer is barely meeting the requirements to play. You've only mentioned your system ram size though so I don't know what else you have.

If you know you have long loading screens based on your play experience, I'd try to avoid situations involving a lot of monsters where you know you'll experience a delay when teleporting in. Normally, entering a rift through its portal is safe, but occasionally, you'll encounter monsters even then immediately, so it's still a risk to consider.

As for implementing any sort of immunity buff, that's something you'd have to make a post about in the General Discussion forum. It's not a bad idea in my opinion but it's not something I'd be able to do anything about. The game's developers are much more likely to see your suggestion if it's posted in that forum.
