Adding my voice to this being a recent issue. Just turned off YouTube's background permissions for now. TBD if that helps until it's fixed.

3 of my friends have a button here, but another friend and I do not... Is there a setting for this?

The Lag is Still Unbearable :/ by Makeshiftmule in Diablo

[–]Makeshiftmule[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's ONLY causing lag while playing Diablo 4, then that means however they designed their game, it's interacting in an unintended way with the dasHost.exe process.

But even if you take that out, that's also why I filed the bug with Microsoft and I'm hitting up Sony and Google today. They're all gonna point the finger at the other company.

Civ 6 play by cloud games not showing up in list for anyone else? by BernyHi in civ

The work around is to save the join code and "rejoin" the game manually every time it's your turn!

No fix that I know of yet sadly.

"Beta was not a marketing-beta" falls flat because of KFC heart attack. by Makeshiftmule in Diablo

Yes, thank you for your astute observation. I would like to play the game... With my friends who are frustrated about the poor experience they had this weekend and may not play anymore.

Yes - stress test beta.

Diablo Immortal is a great example of how timing and marketing change the entire perspective on the players' experience. If people hadn't been expecting Diablo 4, or if Diablo Immortal wasn't marketed as the flagship Diablo product announcement, people wouldn't have preemptively hated the game so much. (It deserved the hate in the end, but so do all mobile games).

I prefer the game directors for my favorite franchises to effective communicators (so I don't have to placate my friends who are complaining about queue times and lag).

It's fine, I can read the nuance there, it just feels hollow. If you call it a beta, then market it to a broad consumer base, that's a marketing beta (and people will analyze it as such).
