How to fix Diablo IV Fury Against Fate glitch

by

When doing the Fury Against Fate quest in Diablo IV, you will be asked to “clear the cannibal feeding ground.” If you find that you aren’t able to complete this quest due to a potential glitch, then you can check out this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech to see what you can do.

About the Fury Against Fate bug

The progress-blocking glitch can occur when the room containing the required enemies to defeat is completely empty.

The game may also bug out if Ealda doesn’t move towards the room after you talked with her about the mission. If she and her companions do not move at all, then you won’t be able to complete the mission even if you defeat all of the required enemies by yourself. You can find a video of this glitch below:

Even if you try to pull the enemies towards Ealda’s and then defeat the targets, the quest will still be incomplete.

Workarounds

To avoid this glitch, restart the Fury Against Fate quest over again and then try to talk to Ealda from a different standing position. Some players have reported that they were able get Ealda and her friends to move by standing slightly above the group before initiating the conversation.

You may have to restart and then reposition yourself several times in order to trigger the NPCs to work as intended. You can also try changing the World Tier to see if you can complete the objective.

Fury Against Fate patch

The good news is that the development team at Activision Blizzard has acknowledged that there is a widespread issue with the Fury Against Fate mission that is making it impossible to finish. Although they don’t have a workaround currently, they are working to fix this problem.

You can find their statement below (via the Blizzard Support page):

We have received several reports of this issue and can confirm it is not working as intended. Currently, we do not have a workaround or resolution that can be provided. We apologize for any inconvenience while our developers work as quickly as possible to resolve the issue.

So, if you haven’t done so already, make sure you have the latest patch downloaded for Diablo IV on your PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 4 Pro, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox One X, Xbox Series S or Xbox Series X.

Hopefully, the quest will no longer be glitched after you updated the game.

In the Descent into Flame from Act III of Diablo IV, you will need to enter the Temple of the Primes. When you do so, however, the game may end up crashing. To see how you can fix this freezing glitch, you can take a look at this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech.

1. For the first potential solution, try to head left immediately after talking to Lorath the next time you reload your saved data.

2. If Diablo 4 is still freezing when you try to open the door to the Temple of the Primes, then you can try unequipping all of your equipment beforehand.

3. If the game is still bugging out, then you can try changing the World Tier difficulty before you enter the door.

In order to do so, you can select Change World Tier from the main menu before loading into your save file. You can also change tiers by using the World Tier Statues found in the bigger towns in the world.

4. If you haven’t done so already, you should make sure you have the latest patch installed for Diablo IV. The Descent into Flame freeze seems to be a common problem on all platforms that should hopefully get patched out by the development team in the near future.

5. Of course, you should also make sure that you have the latest firmware installed on your PlayStation 4, PlayStation 4 Pro, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox One X, Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X consoles.

If you are playing Diablo IV on a PC, then you should make sure you have the latest drivers for your graphics card, as well as the latest version of the Steam client, downloaded and installed.

Hopefully, the new firmware and drivers will fix the freezing issues associated with entering he Temple of the Primes.

What to do if Diablo 4 is causing PS5 to overheat

by

When playing Diablo IV on your PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Digital Edition console, you may get the following warning:

  • “Your PS5 is too hot. Turn off your PS5 until the temperature goes down.”

If your gaming system keeps overheating while you are playing this action role-playing game, then you can check out this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech.

1. For the first step, you should make sure you have enough free air space around your PlayStation 5 to allow for proper heat dissipation. Sony recommends leaving at least 4 inches on all sides.

Therefore, you should avoid placing the console near any walls or other obstacles. You should also avoid enclosed compartments as well.

2. If your PS5 gets too dusty, then it will impact the heat dissipation. To it from overheating when playing high-demanding games such as Diablo 4, we recommend removing as much of the dust from the internals as possible.

To see how you can take apart a PS5 and clean it, we recommend that you take a look at TronicsFix video guide from YouTube below:

3. If you have been placing your PlayStation 5 vertically, then it may be causing the liquid metal responsible for cooling the APU due to uneven distribution. Therefore, you can play placing the console horizontally.

There is also a possibility that the liquid metal may have dried out and may need to be replaced. If you are interested in doing so, the you can check out a video, also from the TronicsFix YouTube channel, below:

4. If you are using a M.2 solid state drive for your PS5, then the expanded storage may be causing the console to overheat.

Keep in mind that the expansion SSD needs its own heat sink. If you don’t have one installed, then you should get one.

5. Make sure you have the latest system software installed on your PlayStation 5. In most updates, Sony usually adds a stability update that improves the performance of the console.

You can manually update by going to the Settings menu of the PS5 and then selecting System > System Software > System Software Update and Settings > Update System Software > Update Using Internet.

6. You should also make sure you have the latest patch installed for Diablo IV as a new update may come with improved optimizations.

7. If your console is still overheating, then you may have some kind of hardware issue. In this scenario, you will most likely need to get your PS5 repaired.

3. If the console isn’t letting you shut it down, then you may need to unplug it from the power outlet. If you do so, you will need to go through the rebuild database process the next time you start it up.

4. The crashing or freezing issues could be related to the internal temperature of your PS5 getting too hot.

If you believe that this is the case, then you can give your console more air space. Ideally, the system should have at least four inches of free space on all sides.

To check how much free space you have, go to the Settings menu of your PlayStation 5 and then select Storage. You should leave around 8.25 GB of free space if you have Diablo 4 installed on the console storage.

If the game is installed on the M.2 drive, then you should leave at least 10% off free space.

To manually update your PlayStation 5, start off by heading over to its Settings menu. From there, select System > System Software > System Software Update and Settings > Update System Software > Update Using Internet.

8. If your console is crashing when playing other games, then you may have a hardware related issue. In this case, you may have to send your PS5 in for repair.

To check the about of free space on your storage drives, go to the Settings menu of your Xbox Series X. from there, select System on the left column and then “Storage devices” on the right side on the same screen.
