[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…

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…
