Been experiencing constant micro stuttering which is making me want to quit playing season 28.
- Specs -
i7-8700k
1080ti
16gb ram
2x 144hz displays 1080p and 1440p
1Tb NVMe
I’ve tried absolutely everything I’ve found to try to fix this, from lowering the sound channels, remove sound completely, every type of v sync, no v sync, adaptative, half adaptative, I’ve tried running it in the 1080p display and running it in the 1440p display, limit the fps with Riva tuner and with NVidia control panel to 58, 60, 120, 144, uncapped, tried capping my gaming display at 60hz, 120hz, 144hz, cap both at the same resolution, g sync on and off, I uninstall and reinstalled the game, did a clean windows installation, updated BIOS, and check that all my drivers were up to date, changes my power plan, prioritize diablo in task manager, all types of combination in-game settings from Fullscreen to windowed. I’m afraid I’m reaching absolute despair.
Some settings make the stuttering worst of course some make it better, so far I’m playing with Fullscreen(windowed), everything high except shadows is off, AA Fullscreen and Low FX, sound channels 16 and left all groups, clans and communities. NVidia settings are fps limit to 120, LOD bias to clamp and v sync adaptative. Also changed D3Prefs refresh rate to 120, DisableScreenShake to 1, HardwareClass to 1 and DisableTrilinearFiltering to 1. This seems to help a bit but the micro stuttering is still there, I just cant seem to run the game smoothly. Depending on the server I get in I get anything between 70 to 105 ms.
The fps display runs constant at 120 of course in some maps it drops and in big pulls it drops too but this doesn’t make the game feel laggy, but most of the times fps are at 120 or close to it and the micro stuttering is constantly happening. The stuttering becomes worse when using a super fast build like GoD DH or max speed LoD necro and you get a speed pylon or while in groups its just impossible to play here the micro stuttering becomes massive stuttering and games becomes impossible to play. To anyone that has experience this issue maybe can relate of how unpleasant way to play the game this is.
Sorry about the text wall, hope someone in here can help me fix this so I can enjoy the game. Thanks for your time.
