Extremely low FPS on menus

I fixed my problem… in my case my NVIDIA grafik card was making my game menu lag and i have to use the integrated INTEL insteed

Another patch and yet no fix for this issue. Utterly disappointing!!

Thank you for the reports and files sent to us so far. We should be good on system files sent to us and these have been added to our tracking. I went ahead and removed the file request earlier on.

We are still actively tracking this issue, but due to this issue needing new technology, there’s no ETA on when this may be resolved yet. Our team is aware of the problem and working on getting this new technology available to resolve the Menu FPS issues. We’ll continue to provide updates when available regarding the Menu FPS issues.

I dont want to be too greedy here, but if not ETA itself, can we at least get a vague idea of the ETA? Like a year? 2 years? etc :stuck_out_tongue:

Cheers for the info by the way!

@Johaylon I personally hope it won’t be that long, but we can’t provide a guaranteed ETA at the moment. Our team would need the new tech first and run through some testing before we have a definite answer on an ETA or a patch to fix this. We’ll provide updates here on the matter when we have more information to share :slight_smile:

The same issue with MacOS running into this is also awaiting on the new tech at the moment as well, so once we have the new tech in place, both Windows and MacOS systems should be fixed up!

Same problem here.

I added the “Blizzard Browser.exe” into Nvidia control panel. Told it to use Nvidia gpu. Things run smooth now. I mistakenly added the “blizzardbrowser” for Heroes of the Storm at first. Causing me to think it didnt work. Then I realized the mistake. Careful.

Interesting find, unopinionatd! Thanks for sharing. I’ll add this to the list of possible workarounds in the mean time :slight_smile:

This worked for me thank you!

I would do it but my nvidia doesnt let me set a prefered gpu for specific programs.

Going to post 2 screenshots I found online which describes my situation better.

Its not a blizzard problem though, it has something to do with nvidia, I guess. So I have to disable intel integrated via driver manager if I want menus to be faster

You can make the change in Windows instead. Just type “Graphics Settings” into the windows search.
1.Browse
2.Find BlizzardBrowser.exe in reforged install location and click “Add”
3. Click options, choose your GPU, Save.

Thanks for the reply. However I tried that a week ago when I first realised nvidia settings didnt work for me.

It didnt work either, for some reason. According to my research, it didnt for many people(for various programs, not just blizzardbrowser.exe)

Edit: For the record, what I did was this, but for the correct blizzardbrowser.exe thats in Warcraft III>retail>x86_64>blizzardbrowser>blizzardbrowser.exe: https://www.howtogeek.com/351522/how-to-choose-which-gpu-a-game-uses-on-windows-10/

Worked for me! Thank you so much.

Disabling “Intel HD Graphics” in Device Manager worked for me, I’m not on a laptop. FPS in menu is now smooth omg finally… Looks like BlizzardBrowser.exe is not slamming my CPU anymore either.

I couldn’t chat, browse games, or anything before this; the 5 fps in menu was basically giving me depression lol. Very happy now, thanks.

Disabling my Intel Graphics also worked for me, but because I use a laptop, I can’t use this method.

Playing like this is really unconfortable and close to not doable for me. It would be quite nice to get information from the developers on this problem, since many people seem to have it.

In the beta we had the option to chose which video card the game to run on and it fixed the issue. For some unknown Blizzard brilliance, that option has been removed upon release. Why? Nobody knows.

I’m running the game on 16" MacBook Pro with 5300M. This GPU is more than enough to run this game. In-game I have smooth framerate, however in menu it is a slide show.

I’m only hoping ‘new tech’ that is needed to fix the issue is complete, native main menu overhaul instead of Chromium?

I set my Nvidia Control Panel to use the GeForce GPU for BlizzardBrowser. Unfortunately, it didn’t change anything. No better, but also no worse.

Another patch, another nothing on the subject.
The handling of the matter is below my lowest expectations…

will blizz ever fix this s***t ???
after all, the problem is not going to be solved by constantly ignoring the topic

So decided to finally to purchase and give Warcraft 3 Reforged a shot. Its been 8 months at least since release, surely all those bugs and problems people were complaining about back then are gone and I can enjoy a well polished nostalgic journey back to the good old days in my youth… hold up. As soon as I get to the main menu I am greeted with this mess. I have a GTX 1060 which should be fine. I read I can disable my integrated graphics, but because I have a laptop, I don’t think this is possible as my computer doesn’t like it. Have tried various Nvidia settings and tweaks to no avail. Come Blizzard, its been 8 months FFS.
