You can fix the character disappearing bug in Diablo 4 by simply restarting the game. While that is not the official fix, well, there is no official fix. Many Diablo 4 players have reported that restarting the game resolved their issue, so that is your best shot. 

We recommend you restart Diablo 4, and while you are at it, it would be best to exit and re-open the Blizzard client. Since Diablo 4 is a live-service title, your character details are stored on the game servers. 

Suppose the game servers are facing any issues or are down. In that case, you might not be able to load your character. Sometimes, the characters don’t even load in the character selection screen, so if a restart doesn’t fix the issue, it’s time to check the Diablo 4 server status.

Lastly, you can contact Blizzard support about the issue and, in case it got deleted due to a problem, wait until it’s restored. 

To sum things up, here is what you can do when you encounter the character disappearing bug in Diablo 4:

  • Check the Diablo 4 server status; 
  • Restart Diablo 4 ;
  • Contact Blizzard support. 

That concludes our guide on how to fix your character disappearing bug in Diablo 4. For more news and guides on the game, check out our dedicated Diablo 4 section
