Hello everyone,
A hotfix was released earlier today to address the Firebirds Set / Mirror Image issue reported in this thread.
Please let us know if you’re still seeing any issues related to the Firebirds / Mirror Image bug. We’ll leave this thread open for a while longer just to make sure. Thanks!
My firebirds wizard is still lagging today during most battles.
My system is an 8 core 5 ghz intel with RTX 3080.
Something is still wrong.
Same here. I was happy to change my sound setting back to 128bit and give it a shoot. No, nothing is fixed. My firebirds wizard is still lag like a hell.
I am running a 5600X + RTX 3080 PC with Windows 10 Pro 20H2
Done some testing as well, then thought how did they patch it? Checked my D3 directory and the only file that has been updated is fmodex64.dll and that’s purely because I use the soundbug fix. The file version has not changed since forever.
So out of interest how was a hotfix applied, was server side? why did the servers not reset during gameplay yesterday?
If it was pushed to clients, why did we not get any new files?
Some more questions -
What did they find? How did they fix it? We as a community would like some meat on the bones so to speak, we have showed incredible patience over the last 2 seasons with non stop bugs, game breaking bugs!
Maybe putting this thread and the Soundbug thread into the BUG section might actually help get the problems looked at.
Clearly something is wrong at Blizzard with regards to feedback, bugs and customer service processes. I for one will not purchase any more products off Blizzard until things improve on a major scale (Fan since d1)
Say no more, cant play with sound still and much worse with wizards. I was in group for bird runs.

It was never about the wizard. A lot of people came back to try the new FB set. Many hadn’t played in some time. So a bunch of wizards were complaining about freezing up and lag and made it appear as if the wizard set was the culprit. In reality, it’s the same issue going on for a few years now across multiple characters, solo and group.
I mostly find the worst issues occur during bounties with freezing then having to restart my computer and losing any bounties that have accrued thus far in that game.
Doesn’t there team have “that guy” that can go through code and find the problem? It would appear they do not. If they’re going to announce a fix, they should have at least got got on a character and tried the darn thing out.
They are still refusing to fix their buggy fmodx64.dll. This is UNBELIEVABLE: Nothing has changed regarding to the freezes! NOTHING!
I am still experiencing this issue.
I’m getting 10 seconds of full freezing the game since yesterday with my firewbird wizard.
It was no problem but a bit laggy from start of season, until i turned sound channels to 8bit/16bit but never had these full freezes.
Since yesterday i get a full 10 sdeconds freeze and die.
Well whatever you did, it changed exactly nothing:
Mirror Images + COE equipped still is almost unplayable.
@PlayerOne It’s the fmodx64.dll problem they are not able to get fixed. Just replace that file and you have no freezes anymore. The bad news is that you wil have no sound then…
I get into a public grp and if there is even 1 wizard i freeze
You don´t need to, at least for me it is enough to disable sound, but I do not want to play without sound.
Did not help. Just had another 10+ sec of the game being completely frozen after using Mirror Image, and again when pressing “Esc” to get into the menu.
Also, just to be clear, my issue seems to be different from PlayerOne’s video. When I use MI, I don’t get lag - the game completely, 100%, freezes for 10+ sec, and my cursor even changes to the the spinning circle like the game is ready to crash.
Blizzard wont acknowledge the issue, and I do believe the issue is the same as last season (FMOD out of date), just we notice it more on wizards as many have rolled to test new setup.
Maybe the Dev’s should visit FMOD forum and see how they can update their version, we Blizzards resources it wont take long.
Just to clarify, the hotfix was only targetting the Firebird bug specifically. So the other issues with Convention of Elements (COE) and FMOD issues would need to be addressed separately.
For anyone still experiencing the Firebird stuttering/crashing, can you check your D3Debug.txt file in the Diablo III\x64 folder and see if the FMOD errors show up? It would look similar to what Crinel posted.
Can we get this post and the other one moved to bug section, after all these issues are game bugs and no technical support is going to fix THE issue. BTW Firebird bug is the FMOD bug just a new trigger for the same fault
before “addressed separately” this must be putted in issues list as BUGs, right?
putted in list not by players, but by staff
I’m getting a lot of stuttering in MP too, but it isn’t just when wizards are present. When I play SP I don’t have any stuttering at all. My system is far more than enough to run D3. Disabling sound doesn’t fix it, I’ve tried a lot of things.
just a stupid question, some of you nearly most of you are speaking about a hardware with nvidia gpu, is there anyone of the other posters and gentelman who has experience with amd gpu and the same issue about the lags?! or is it really just nvidia gpu? cheers for any response and feedback!
