[Main Thread] Windows 19041 - Freezing for 5-10 seconds

After upgrading to Windows 10 2004, games freeze for a few seconds and then continue many times in the different scenes. During freeze time, the mouse pointer can move around normally. Checking the D3Debug.txt in the directory, the time of game freezing is matched to the time of the error of FMOD system. Is there any ‘official’ solution for this issue? The system information is following, OS: Windows 10 2004 / 32GB RAM GPU: Nvidia 1660Ti (Driver package 446.14) Sound: Nvidia HD Audio (the …

There are different workarounds.

• Swap fmode.dll (no Sound)
• Swap or delete msvcp140.dll and vcruntime140.dll
• Run the game on only one CPU core

So here are my steps for the fmodex64.dll replacement (all on your own machine, with your own scripts): Disabled automatic updates to D3 in bnet settings, download section. Copied “C:\Program Files (x86)\Diablo III\x64\fmodex64.dll” to a different (user chosen) location. This location will store the old backup of fmodex64.dll and a copy from our other game (either Hearthstone or Starcraft2). Copy the file from Hearthstone or Starcraft2 into the same folder. My Starcraft2 .dll was found: “C:\Pr…

[Main Thread] Windows 19041 - Freezing for 5-10 seconds

Hey All, Like most of you I too have experienced the lag that has at times rendered the game unplayable as well has having more crashes to desktop in the last month than I have over my entire history playing the game. Personally, I like playing with sound so the DLL file swap business wasn’t the right fix for me. What has worked reasonably well so far is to set the affinity to processor 0 and 1. However, that was tedious as I had to take an extra step and it would occasionally revert or I woul…

I can’t believe the FMOD bug is still around.

‘Why do I have to play with no sound to fix this’? Why are players trying to find solutions?

All I have seen from Blizzard is them saying it has to do with Windows. Well, it is the only game that I have played that freezes and has that error, so it must have something to do with the game.

I have played since 1988 and before anyone comments, I have left my clan and have finally had enough and will not play again until D2 ressurected. It’s a waste of time to play over 12 hours to have a RIP due to game errror.

I don’t play with sound, what’s the fix for no sound? How do I do this? * Swap fmode.dll (no Sound)

[Scorp-1728]

10 year old game lagging because of a sound issue…yep that sounds about right for Blizzard.

We shouldn’t have to do these gimmicky things to play this game. They haven’t fixed the sound causing lag, they haven’t fixed the lag caused by Area Damage…like come on

@Drew-1717

Swap fmode.dll (no Sound)

Get a other fmode.dll e.g. from hearthstone and replace the file after starting the launcher. The file ist located in your Diablo III installation folder inside the x64 subfolder.

You have to replace the file everytime you restart the launcher.

You can use a script to swap the files for you. Take a look at the linked posts.

[RuCkUs-12123]

They don’t have the staff to fix such an error since all of the original programmers went elsewhere…at least you can log in…I have submitted 2 tickets wich were forced closed and treated like a 16 year old handling food at chillis. Unless you can get the masses to post about the same issue they won’t pull out their wallet. My account is 7 years invested and not a top priority in their eyes. Maybe If I was 2000 paragon forever Rhyyker it would be at the top of the list to be fixed…395002 on 3 different computer systems

[Scorp-1728]

appreciate the reply and the “fix” but again why are we, the gamers, having to do Blizzards work for them. This is ridiculously unprofessional of a multi-billion dollar corporation who can afford to have someone or a group of people to go in and look at these issues and fix them.

When I tried that it wouldn’t start game saying it’s missing x64 file

I downloaded hearthstone but I can’t find a fmode.dll
