How To Fix Diablo 4 Disconnections/High Latency
It is always recommended that you first check your internet connection to see if there isn't any kind of issues with your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Also, use a LAN cable to connect your PC or console directly to your router instead of using Wi-Fi, if possible.

- Close all other applications to resolve software conflicts and free up resources.
- Reset your network devices, which can resolve numerous problems
- If you're using a wireless connection, optimize your internet connection to rule out a connection issue.
- Update or temporarily uninstall any security programs, which may mistakenly identify the login module as a security threat.
- Release and renew your IP and flush your DNS to resolve any network conflicts.
- Disable any proxies that may interfere with the login module.
- Update your drivers and operating system to resolve any compatibility issues.
The developer also noted that you should contact Blizzard Customer Support if you run into any Diablo 4 issues.
