Diablo 4 Players Frustrated with Lingering Button Delay Bug: Impeding Gameplay and Survival

Players are naturally irritated because the button delay problem persists in a real-time game like Diablo 4, where even the slightest error can result in death. A Hardcore run can terminate with just a little lag, as we’ve seen before. Precision is vital in Diablo 4, especially when fending off a sizable enemy swarm. Designing and maintaining the ideal build is challenging enough without other factors interfering.

One such element is a typical button delay bug that gaming enthusiasts encounter daily. The Diablo 4 community has unequivocally reiterated that it harms the RPG’s gameplay. Additionally, the fact that players cannot use the orders they want to is destroying the pleasure for many.

The button delay glitch in Diablo 4 is “infuriating.”

One angry gamer said on a Diablo 4 Reddit thread, “I f*cking hate it, and I’ve noticed this since beta on all platforms.” The line in question almost immediately cited the issue’s name: “Button Delay.” The OP explained: “I’m on PS5, and ever since the most recent update, I’ve faced a TON of button latency. Someone other posted it a little while ago. When I use the button to teleport, use a frost nova, or use ice shards when playing as a Sorc, NOTHING happens. For the button to register, I have to press it two or three times. At first, I assumed it was my controller, so this morning, I went out and bought a new controller and had the same problems.

As the OP noted, “My buddy’s on Xbox, and he has it as well,” one of the many comments stated, “Happens to me on PC as well,” the problem appears to affect more than just PlayStation. I also had this before the patch. Other PC users share the same situation: “This happens to be on PC frequently, and it’s very annoying. Happens on every lesson I’ve played,” another user, who was frustrated, responded. 

Numerous responses all described how the issue is ongoing and affects all platforms. Positive modifications made by the most recent 1.0.3 release have received appreciation. Therefore, it will be interesting to see if Blizzard responds to the Uniques issue and the button delay glitch.
