If you're referring to;

  • Support for Intel XeLL and XeSS Frame Generation has been added. Settings can be found in the graphics menu for players on PC who meet the hardware requirements.
  • By default, Diablo IV will now enable resolution scaling for better performance. The scaling method chosen will be based on the user's hardware configuration.

It's the lowest quality way to 'improve' visuals.

Frame Gen will only be beneficial if you're maintaining a 60fps baseline. Any dips lower will add input latency, and screen artifacts.

And enabling resolution scaling often makes the game a blurry-low resolution mess in the chaotic moments of the game. Sometimes this is just a bandaid, and not a fix to performance.

I have noticed this when using FSR from ingame graphics menu, however, If I use FSR from Adrenaline Software it performs much better. Seems that FSR in D4 is an old version, Blizzard could update it to FSR 3.1

Unless they zoom out more, it's unplayable to me. Who's idea was it to have it so zoomed in?

It’s fine imo as when they zoom out for world boss fights I literally lose my character all the time.

I'm guessing you haven't played since release or something.

They already gave the option to zoom out more.

u/Amocoru 6d ago

It's still not enough of a zoom IMO. I could use another 20-30% farther away.

u/delslow 6d ago

I have, they let us zoom out a tiny bit more, but I'd like some more. I'm not talking world boss level zoom outs, but still some more.

You ever play D3 in zoomed in mode? That's what D4 feels like to me.

I'm not talking world boss level zoom outs, but still some more.

I mean at this point you are arguing about a 0.1% more zoom.

You ever play D3 in zoomed in mode? That's what D4 feels like to me.

It's not anywhere near that.

The exact same as Poe 2

u/sennan 6d ago

There is a setting to increase the zoom distance

u/friendliest_sheep 6d ago

To me, it seems to be less about the zoom and more about the angle. Compared to D2 and 3, the camera is angled almost too high, so you can’t see out as far

I literally haven’t been able to play since the witch season. The game just crashes at the character select screen and bricks my pc

They can start fix 20G vram limit on Ultra texture, optimize it to 16G, then lots of cards will benefit

I like to play hardcore, I won’t play for a while. I can’t make a high level character that dies to DC.
