Different from games like battlefield where all ps4 connects to another server that is not a ps4. NAT2 usually have this kind of problem with playstation online games that does not have a dedicated server, or simply put: games that the multiplayer is when one ps4 act as a host/server, and other ps4 connects into it. you can check it by PS4/PS5 network test, or use a pc/laptop connected to the same network as your ps4/ps5, open a command prompt (CMD), type ipconfig, then open a browser and google whatsmyip, and compare both IPs. We deserve call of duty style matchmaking lobbies and we deserve a game browser like original diablo 2… its so obvious this was completely cheaped out on and it destroys the multiplayer experience that makes diablo 2 a legendary game.įirst, what kind of connection your wife’s PS4 and your PS5 use? I assume you both using wifi to the same ISP network? so like ISP->your modem/router->additional router (if any)->PS4 & PS5? So absolutely disappointed with the god awful state of multiplayer on consoles. This is one of the worst game designs in history, especially considering original diablo 2 lobbies is such a basic and easy to use thing… if it aint broke dont fix it and at minimum DONT Delete the original system if the new system doesnt work and is awful. I join a public game and none of my friends can join me… i make a private game where i can invite them and the public cant play with us. Its worse than the diablo 3 auction house in my opinion… they clearly never played a modern game with matchmaking… and switch the default player count to 8 so people don’t have to switch it to 8 every single time when searching… not that you will ever find an 8 player match on console because its basically impossible. This is so inexcusably broken at the moment and needs some big changes.

The games multiplayer is so broken without lobbies right now… matchmaking doesnt even support the most basic obvious feature of grouping up with friends prematch and then a lobby leader joining a public game… no way to make a private game and invite friends then make it public… and beating a quest turns the current game into a free roam game instead of making it the next available quest when searched. Me and my wife can only play private games together.
