Hey guys, there are so many confusing work arounds. Personally, if you don’t want sound, changing the fmodex64.dll as described works. I tried it for a week but couldn’t hear Gobs, or Gob packs.
So I went with creating a shortcut on the desktop, as per Adeavian-1934. I might note that a few other users also mentioned changing the affinity.
- Write click on the desktop, select new ; then shortcut.
- The create shortcut wizard should appear asking for the location for the item.
- Input - C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c start “Diablo III64” /affinity 3 “C:\Program Files (x86)\Diablo III\x64\Diablo III64.exe” -launch
- Hit Next
- A window appears asking for the shortcut name, call it what you want and hit Enter.
- The window should disappear and a CMD prompt or Dos window icon will apear on the desktop.
- Make sure the blizzard launcher is not active in your task bar.
- Double click on the cmd prompt box you created. The game should launch and it might take a few seconds. You should get a normal login screen and authenticator, not the blizzard launcher window.
- If it does not start, try the following.
- Right click on the shortcut you created and select properties.
- Left click anywhere in the ‘Target’ line. Left arrow all the way to the start of the line.
- Right arrow space by space, when you get to a " quotation mark, delete it and replace it with one from your keyboard. For some reason, quotation marks are not the same on all computers. Do this for all of the " marks and when you get to the end. Select Apply then OK.
- Double click on the file you created again.
