Summary

  • Some Diablo 4 players are experiencing frequent crashes in Season 7.
  • Diablo 4 players have also complained about Season 7's lack of leaderboards.

Some Diablo 4 players are currently facing issues with frequent game crashes during Season 7. While not all Diablo 4 players seem to be suffering from the same issues, problems such as memory leaks on PC are being described as some of the main causes of the constant crashes.

Diablo 4 started Season 7 on January 21, 2025. Also known as Season of Witchcraft, Season 7 offers new seasonal powers themed after witches, some balancing changes, new upgrades, bosses, enemies, and more. Despite tons of new content, however, some gamers are currently unhappy with the technical aspects of the new Diablo 4 season.

According to social media posts and comments on Blizzard’s forums, multiple PC gamers are facing constant problems while playing Diablo 4 during Season 7, like server disconnects, difficulties logging in, and game crashes. One of the most common issues is related to memory leaks on PC, as even gamers with high specs often can’t play for more than an hour before the game crashes due to lacking enough RAM. While this problem was already for some players present before Season 7, it seems to have become more prominent after the update that changed the season, which has made the game essentially unplayable for some people.

Gamers are Annoyed With Diablo 4's Constant Crashes

Unfortunately, this is not the only issue that gamers found in Season 7 so far. Earlier this week, for example, players discovered that Diablo 4’s Mantle of the Mountain’s fury chest piece is bugged. The main perk of the armor is increasing the damage output of Barbarian’s Earthquakes. However, gamers have noticed that they still do regular damage when the item is equipped.

Aside from these annoying bugs, Diablo 4 players are unhappy with the absence of leaderboards in Season 7. Leaderboards have been common in the franchise since Diablo 3, and multiple gamers have complained that Season 7 is lacking in leaderboards such as the popular Trial Gauntlet. The unhappy players even prompted Diablo 4 community manager Adam Fletcher to address the situation, explaining that the Trial Gauntlet may not return in the future, but that the company is currently looking at “other ways” to create similar activities soon. Hopefully, Blizzard will correct all of these issues in the near future, and players will finally be able to play Season 7 properly without experiencing random crashes, but it remains to be seen when that will happen.
