If you are a fan of couch co-op in Diablo IV, the latest season might be testing your patience. Reddit players have been reporting a lot of frustrating bugs affecting split-screen gameplay on consoles, from Xbox Series X to PS5.
You can take a look at the Reddit post her:
What Is Going Wrong
According to players on Xbox, menu controls are acting up during split-screen. Cursors randomly jump between players, inventory or skill menus can freeze, and sometimes opening or closing one player’s menu affects the other’s.
Beyond that, rubber-banding during map transitions and NPC or quest bugs have left players stuck or invisible until they reload areas. Helltides are also miscounting cinders for couch co-op partners.
One Reddit user wrote: “We really want to enjoy this latest season but couch co-op quality of life needs major improvement.“
Others confirmed seeing similar issues on PS5.
Can You Fix It?
A rather easy “fix” you can try, if you have the possibility, is to each have their own console and screen. Some players reported zero issues when both people play on their own screen or console. So this is suggesting the bugs are mostly tied to split-screen.
However, not everyone has the luxury of having two consoles, or even two screens. When you couch co-op, you typically play on the same console and screen, so it would be nice for a lot of players if Blizzard would look into the issue.
Couch co-op in Diablo IV is still a fun way to play with friends or your partner, but Season 10 seems to have introduced some frustrating glitches for those sharing a console.
Keep an eye on upcoming patches, you never know when something might get fixed soon!
