To deal with the crashing error in the latest Diablo title, there are a few things that can be done.

1) Re-install the game

While this might look like a rather aggressive step to deal with the crashing error, it seems to have worked for several players. Re-installing the game through the Battle.net app is likely to solve much of the performance error, which is not related to server problems.

It’s likely that the crashing issue is due to some corrupt files in the Diablo 4 installation directory. You can fix this by making your way to the Batte.net client, selecting the game, clicking on its settings, and then selecting “scan and fix”.

This will launch a program that will automatically scan all the files in the directory and replace the ones that are broken and damaged.
