is the PTR live yet? It says theres a new patch available but as soon as the game quits nothing is applied or downloaded.
PTR Pop-up is now live!

My account snapshot is several days old, and I am only allowed 1 PTR copy per 24 hr period.
Wish I had copied from another server, or that I was allowed to try copying from another server instead of having to wait 24 hrs to copy again…
While I haven’t played the PTR. I will try my own test live. There might be a connection with the freezing issue and the D3D error that reads as follows. Diablo III was unable to initialize D3D. Click okay to retry. I will keep playing either season 24 or PTR and keep an eye on whether this has any effect on the freezing issue. I noticed this started happening a while ago. I don’t know how long. It might be as long as the freezing issue. If so and there is a connection then you might be able to figure out what is going on. I hope this idea helps. Regardless I will test things out myself on my end.
They may not get any useful information from your logs if you are not on the PTR.
If its not a bother, hopefully you can hop on the PTR to reproduce the issue and share the log. We have some configurations within the PTR to help us dive deep into the issue. Hope this reaches you well ShadowAegis!

What I am wanting to know is does the freezing occur when the D3D error occurs. If it is yes and it is based on time then I can instantly conduct the test on the PTR the same way. Or if it happens on the PTR during the D3D error message I will then do as instructed. Still there can be a connection and that can be done without the D3 debug txt file.
I have never gotten that error and still have the issue. For me, it just started occurring this season and is definitely not related to internet issues as I play with someone else in the same household with a far worse/less powerful computer. He has no issues while I freeze frequently in our 2 player games even after I set my video options to low. Unfortunately, I can not do any PTR testing for 5 hours or so…
ShadowAegis, is that error accompanied with a blank grey screen?
I have gotten that for years, but it was never an issue, just hit retry. I never had any stuttering, crashes, lag, or anything negative along with that issue.
Played one GR as a standard FB Wizard. No major freezes, but constant stuttering when using Mirror Images and when the images use skills. The stuttering also happens in town, but only with Mirror Images.

Mirror Images Firebirds T16:
Whirlwind-Barb Gr90:
Wizard was, as widely known, incredibly laggy and stuttering. Barb was only slightly noticable, but i do know that it is an issue when ground-stomping and manual rending into it on higher GRs (~130). Also the D3Debug has the same FMOD outputs like the FB-Wizard.
My GoD-DH GR90 Run only had like a handful of these outputs.
My Hardware:
- i7-9700k
- Gigabyte Aorus GTX 1080 TI Xtreme 11G (Driver v471.41)
- 2x8GB G Skill TridentZ DDR4-3600
- MSI MPG Z390 Gaming Edge AC
Do you want us to post D3Debug.txt files whenever we experience ANY glitches, or only when the game crashes or freezes?
What other information can we put in our post that might be helpful?

Played Firebird Wizard Solo and the 10s freeze happened with sound turned off.
Just look at the end of the log:
2021.08.05 22:55:20.155796800 FMOD Error sound not ready in 3109.44 ms (loop count: 200)

It’s all because of fmodex64.dll, even with sound off. As you can see there are 3 consecutive loops for 3,1 seconds each, totally 9,3 seconds. In the beginning of the log the loop counts are in the range from 1 to 9, but in the last three the loop count is 200.
Sup Vita! Isolating the request specifically for the lag/freeze issue here. Thanks for checking in though!

Got the freeze very quickly when doing a GR.

Lets hope this helps find the issue, as I’ve been plagued with this for quite a while now!
Inna Monk in Greater Rift: Freeze occurred when using Dashing Strike into a group of regular monsters and a Rare’s minion and activating Mystic Ally. The Dash was cast immediately following the death of an elite group.

Just tested it and I have found out that the game froze without the error. That rules that out the window. Now it must be something else. So then I can jump on the PTR to see what the problem is.
