Fix in the Works for Couch Co-op Bugs Affecting Attack Speed, Animations, and Movement in Diablo 4
Players have now fully immersed themselves into the Season of the Infernal Hordes in Diablo 4, and many are enjoying new quality-of-life, gameplay features, and of course, looting those Mythic Uniques. Not all players have been having a successful season so far, however: those who play on couch co-op mode have run into several frustrating bugs that hamper gameplay.
In a recent Reddit thread created by user thebestthingsinlife2, a video was posted giving an example of Attack Speed being unable to scale beyond the base amount during local co-op. This issue would stop if the second player quit the game, but would begin once more after entering a new area once the second player rejoined.
In addition to Attack Speed not scaling properly, there appear to be issues with attack animations not working properly, rubber-banded movement, controller vibration not functioning, and more. Reddit user thebestthingsinlife2 provided links to many different Blizzard forum posts to shed more light on the situation.
Thankfully, Global Diablo Community Development Director Adam Fletcher responded with some fantastic news for the playerbase:
Team is aware of this one and is working on a fix
Fletcher later referenced why players may not get a step-by-step breakdown of every bugfix in the works. While Blizzard is unable to respond to every singe report, they are certainly monitoring — which means that even though some bugs may not have official acknowledgement immediately, they are definitely on Blizzard's radar for fixes.
No reply on the forums doesn’t necessarily justify lack of acknowledgement. As much as I’d like to reply to everyone here or the forums, I unfortunately can’t. Nor can the full CM team. But forums do help us track volume.
Sometimes the volume helps on one specific issue for us to understand the severity and impact and that volume can lead to that momentum to understand impact.
No timetable was given for when we could expect this issue to be resolved, but
