I’ve been looking through old problems before and many people had this problem and found many solutions. I’ve played almost all seasons and I didn’t have this problem before. Now, when playing online or offline, the game stops for about 5 seconds occasionally and hangs up every now and then. It’s very frustrating and makes me not want to play, its unplayable now. I will now write what I’ve done so far to fix it.
- Change graphics to low
- vsync on and off cap 60, in nivida control panel too
- d2r.exe priority high
- Graphics drivers updated
- Checked temperatures with hwmonitor, all good
- Checked the disk and ram problem, is fine
- Checked the game files and everything is fine
- I cleaned the computer, checked the pastes, everything is fine
- nothing helped
- My Spec is Intel i3 8100, 32gb DDR4, Nvidia Geforce 2070
And when the game freezes for 5 seconds, I noticed in the manager that the processor usage is up to 100%. I recently replaced the thermal paste, I checked today if I connected everything correctly and everything is ok. I don’t have this problem in Diablo 4 or Path of Exile. I hope for a patch or a solution to the problem in another way because I would like to play my favorite game.
Please help quickly, best regards Mateusz.
PS. Many people reposting or reply old problem now, it seems that the problem is back…very sad, i hope for quick fix.
PS. 2 First time frezze and crash today…
PS. 3 I set the nvidia control panel, program settings for diablo 2 ressurected and i set “Maximum number of frames displayed for the background application” to 30 fps minimum. And now if i have freeze in game I press the windows key and the problem disappears. I have the game set to full screen. Here’s the problem, I hope someone can help me, I’m getting closer to solving the problem, I hope Blizzard reads this and patches this issue.
PS. 4 Today the screen froze permanently while loading game for the first time and second in game, I had to restart’s my computer. Please blizzard where are you ?!
When it freezes I click the windows button to minimize and the problem goes away. It’s a bit annoying but I can’t do anything about it now.
Also the diablo 2 r taskbar icon is broken in season 10.
Today the game froze again a few times and I had to manually restart my computer. I also noticed a lot of problems logging into battlenet in the game on the EU, US and Asia server no problems.
I am still investigating the issue and even the old graphic design has this problem, let blizzard fix it because I don’t want to ruin my computer because of it…
Another freez on server Asia, and I had to restart my computer again…please fix this because it can cause serious damage to computers.
I also noticed that this problem often appears right after entering the map through the portal or when logging into the game. I would play offline, but this problem occurs there too.
I asked a friend who is currently playing d2r and he says he has the same problem.

Many people write to me that the problem is with the latest Windows 11 24H2 update, previously I had 23H2 or 22H2 and everything worked fine. I’ll check it out soon and get back to you.
