Diablo III’s Patch 2.4 Introduced Stuttering and Framerate Drops on PS4/Xbox One

While PC gamers have reported nothing but good experiences with Diablo 3 2.4, those on the console are less than happy with the new patch. 

The newly released update adds all new areas, Legendaries, new Rift features, and a ton of class rebalancing in addition to better UI and a host of smaller improvements. 

In addition to the new content, the most recent patch has added a number of problems to the game's PS4 and Xbox One version of the game. Patch 2.4 added stuttering and reduced the framerate of the game on both consoles in certain areas. Prior to the patch, the game ran at a solid 60fps at all times, in every location. 

Players have created multiple threads on Battle.net to complain about performance issues, which Blizzard is no doubt aware about by now. 

The gamers note that indoor areas appear to be unaffected by performance issues, but outdoor locations have significant stuttering issues despite there being no big explosions or monsters in the scene. The issues are the same regardless of whether players play alone or in co-op with others. 

We can only hope that Blizzard will rectify the problem shortly.
