Still getting random 5-10 seconds freezes and crashes to desktopā¦ How the hell has this not been fixed yet lol??? Like I know it happens rarely so it may not be a big issue but its still annoying. Seriously whoever is in charge of the D3 team should be kicked and fired from his/her chair and title and get someone else in charge who actaully cares about the game.

Rarely? Like āonce each 70+ GRā rarely? Iāve completely dropped HC chars until itās fixed (and not through some hack - I do mean a real fix).

I believe Iām only seeing these issues during a GR run, most of the time im doing 4 man GR150s. I get those 5-10 sec freezes like once or twice each night I play, and crash to desktop like once every between 4-6 days. Thatās rarely for me, it doesnt bother me too much.
Guess you play softcore then

I have not been playing much in public grifts this season, primarily due to the simple fact once you hit 100 or higher, the risk of 5 to 10 second gaps and the insta-death they cause are just too high. Not to mention that in 15 seconds the group is miles down the canyon and you are essentially out of the game until the boss dies.
Iāve had the delays occur in nearly every public grift Iāve run that was above 100. The length of the stall varies, shortest is a long stutter - longest was about 15 seconds, I was close to closing the game with Task Manager (Windows and mouse were responsive - but game was dead).

Blizzard any news on this one? Or do we need to wait for Diablo 4?

There is no new news ā¦ I died again yesterday - no longer counting the number of times, maybe 16, 17 times. Iām done playing this game because it doesnāt make sense. I speak to blizzard support, but they canāt help me. They send information about nvidia driver update 3 times ā¦ and make you wait for the problem to be fixed.
Dogram this season and itās over, a few days ago I bought a COD clod war and now I play it.
Good luck ā¦ if they fix something, write, maybe I will program some records this season without fear that the game will throw me away
This worked for me for weeks and then suddenly stopped working. Every time I logged in using the .bat file it forced an update on me making the original fmodex64.dll reappear. If I try to rename it, put the new file in and remake the .bat file it just happens again.
Not sure if Blizzard changed something or if Iām just out of luck.
ya i tried this. it worked for 1 day after which it started again and froze within 20 seconds in a normal rift (not even a GR).
Gentlemen, I was able to convert the bat file and it doesnāt download again, but it doesnāt work for me anyway - the problem persists. I have two problems: 1. The game crashes for no reason when I play Windows with an error code, 2. The diablo 3 application is not responding in the task manager and I have to close it manually to restart the game.
I sent all the error codes and logs to blizzard and they cannot help. Something just broke and they donāt know what, if for over 2 months from the start of the season the problem is occurring
after months of the problem, I finally solved it. On Windows 10 right click desktop, display settings, graphic settings, TURN OFF VARIABLE REFRESH RATE.
I can now max all the in game video settings and no problem.
This is the second time Iāve seen you post this.
Iām not having freezing issues. But, the first time you posted this, I was curious to see what Windowsā Graphics Settings I had enabled. (Since I use the NVIDIA Control Panel for graphics settings).
I donāt even have an option listed for āTURN OFF VARIABLE REFRESH RATEā.
I did find a new option for Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling. It was off by default, so I turned it on. Research revealed that this new feature is supported by certain NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards. (Mine included). However, turning it on currently has such a minimal affect that players may not even notice the difference in-game. Microsoft is supposed to add further support in the future. So, it may eventually become a noticeable performance improvement.
Iām glad that you have the option to turn off variable refresh rate on your system and that it solved the freezing issue for you.
Even after using the fmod fix, I still get freezes is there any other fixes? do I also need to launch it from desktop with the fix
Was also having freezing issue on win10 20HO for the previous 2 days, fixed it by going to device manager and uninstalled sound controllers driven and managed by Realtek and allowing microsoft to drive them instead. Havenāt encountered a single freeze since then, has only been 1 day thou.
Edit: started freezing again, must have had a good run. sigh this is painful
I had this setting disabled so it is not the solution to the problem. I verified it at home.
Iāve been having this problem (freezing for 5+ seconds; no crashes as of yet) for the past several days. Itās relatively random, but appears to only happen to me while Iām in a rift; have died several times due to it. Itās happened more than 10 times (with added updates below).
I play the game in windowed mode (max settings with ~120 fps) and I never have my sound/music enabled (if thatās a variable).
Windows 10 20H2 (19042.746). Need more info? Let me know.
Very, very annoying.
Updates:
- Again, 1/23/21 at ~10:55 PST in a GR44
- Again, 1/23/21 at ~18:36 PST @ Rakkis Crossing, Act III
- Again, 1/24/21 at ~07:24 PST @ Pandemonium Fortress Level 2, Act V
- Again, 1/24/21 at ~07:57 PST @ Stonefort, Act III
Still getting some crashes (Windows 20H2, no realtek drivers), even with the FMOD fix. It can happen in rifts or just when doing bounties. Very annoying.
Can we get an update on this issue from Blizzard team? Is it at least being worked on?
Big Shout out to Wudijo for covering the fix and linking my simple post ā¦ Hopefully Blizzard see this is still a problem and do something

I have this problem as well Screen Freezes for 5 seconds then it comes back and Iām dead. It Started last week after a Windows update too.
So no words or fix still from the devs? Damn
Anyways quick update Iāve tried the method of replacing the FMOD and now it doesnāt freeze anymore.
I wonāt say it works because itās a shame that a problem from 2013 is still running around to this day and never got fixed.
