Thank you for your advice - I have tried upping my difficulty on version 2.4.2.39192 but it won't let me - get a message "You cannot increase the difficulty any higher without starting a new game". So I'll just plod along or if I have time start a new game :-(
"Start a new game" here just means going to the menu (ESC and "leave game"). You don't have to restart the game, as in your character's progress or anything :-)
When you start Diablo 3 there's this button "Start game", and below it is the button that lets you change settings, including difficulty settings (there were you also chose Adventure Mode instead of Campaign Mode). That's where you'll be able to select any difficulty.
Welcome to DFans! I still moved this thread from "intro" to "general discussion" since it's rather the latter.
First, I think you meant "Chapter" and not "Act" - the game has 5 acts as part of the story as well as for different bounties in adventure mode. Just to avoid confusion, I'll assume you're talking about the Season Journey Chapters.
Second, you have to change the game difficulty in the difficulty selection screen *before* starting the game. You can see the difficulty at the top right of your screen, and right now it probably says "normal", so any Nephalem Rift you do right now is Normal. But there are 16 other difficulties; you can probably bump it up right to Torment 1 if you've already done 9 Greater Rifts, or even higher.
