its ok, its happen all the time after all patches for 3 years now, still you didnt use your brain to release a patch THAT WORK WELL ON AMD RYZEN CPU USER without the need to hotfix it afterwards
It’s because the game is choosing to use your CPU’s Integrated Graphics feature.
You can fix this by disabling the integrated graphics until Blizzard fixes the game to not try to use it.

I wont do that, it been 3 years that we have issues after almost every patchs , blizzard got 10000 tickets and also 1000 posts about the fps drop for amd ryzen cpu user. also they managed to fix it some days after patchs… but for once my god can they fix it for real ?!, like PERMANENTLY and forever ? jesus christ…
I agree it would be nice to have it perma fixed. But you wont even do a workaround in the meantime? You’ll just play it with bad FPS? That just says that you don’t care as much as you let on.

I’m not playing with bad fps, its not enjoyable at all. but im bored af to wait 6 days- to 6 weeks ( depend if blizzard need some rest or no) after every patch to play again
Okay, you can choose to suffer until it’s fixed then.
That’s your choice, but most people would accept avialable work arounds until the problem is solved.
Integrated graphics are almost useless, you are arguably better off disabling it whether the game wants to use them or not, but hey, you do you.
It’s hilarious how there is a super simple and easy way around this problem and people go “No i wont do it” out of some sense of principle.
Using a workaround doesn’t mean the problem shouldn’t be fixed, but you act as if choosing to suffer through poop framerates is going to make it get fixed faster- it won’t.
A few mouse clicks and you could enjoy the game with perfectly fine FPS. You say you’re “bored out of your mind” but you wont take a super simple and easy solution to your problem. Logic.
Frankly, I bet it’s me. If some other angry forum goer posted this you’d probably do it. Gives me some ideas for reverse psychology in the future…
I found a solution to a problem. Instead of pouting and being mad for no reason with a solution available, I chose to do something about it. Why wait for someone else to fix something when there’s a stupidly simple fix available now? When they fix it eventually, no one else will have the problem but I can enjoy the game without waiting thanks to a little bit of sleuthing.

I don’t think you’re understanding.
You complaining about FPS, it’s unenjoyable, you’re not playing (by your own choice) because you don’t like it.
Yet despite all that, you won’t do a workaround that could help all those problems while waiting for a fix. In other words, you don’t seem to care about your purported problems as much as you let on.

No, because such a fix is impossible. Nothing lasts in the PC market without requiring some user to do some fiddling to get it to work on their end.

sure thats why the game worked for 10 years without any issues and now it doesnt, must be our fault ,users. what a joke
They actually fixed FPS for me (I have amd ryzen). The classicHD works on 120fps after the 2.0.1 patch but I disabled integrated graphics.

And I guarantee you it will have stopped working at some point if it stayed the way it did 10 years ago.
You didn’t have issues maybe, but some people did. Don’t pretend like everything was perfect for everyone at all times prior to Reforged.
That’s all beside the point though. There is a solution to this problem and you’re deliberately ignoring it just so you can keep being mad about something.

This does not depend on the availability of an integrated graphics card. I turned it off at the bios, but there was no result.
The game does not use all the resources available to it.
This was the case for a whole year from the release of 1.36 to the release of its latest patch. So it became again with the release of 2.0
Here is a comparison of different versions under the same conditions
GPU and fps with 2.0 - Bug Report - Warcraft III: Reforged Forums
This is still a small complaint, because ladder is played in most cases on Classic and It’s not so noticeable to them.
Not every FPS issue is a result of this. News Flash. There are multiple ways that performance can be lower than expected.
There was a very specific issue NEW IN THIS PATCH where the game started using integrated graphics instead of the GPU on AMD machines with CPU-integrated graphics.
You very well may have low FPS for another reason. But this specific issue IS CAUSED by the integrated graphics being used.
It wasn’t really ever designed to. It’s still an outdated graphics engine that, even with new features added, doesn’t know how to use what today’s GPUs are capable of. Even without that many people get 200-300 FPS, far in excess of what their monitors can even display.
This isn’t new, this is a long standing defect in the way the game was designed. It is not the issue that I have been discussing in these recent threads. MANY PEOPLE have had this integrated GPU problem and MANY PEOPLE have had it fixed by disabling it. People who were affected by this were seeing extremely low frame rates, like less than 15, and crashing, because the integrated CPU graphics only uses like 512MB of memory instead of the many GBs available to your graphics card.
Like, I and other people here are complaining about a real issue that is affecting numerous users, including myself. I found a fix for the problem, but it is a problem and confusing a seperate issue with this one is going to confuse people even more.
It’s just so funny, how i’m constantly accused of defending Blizz and yet, when I post about a very real issue someone has to come in and try to tell me I’m wrong, seemingly just because I’ve done it before.

The problem with integrated gpu is as old as the world, and it’s all the more surprising that someone is still discovering how to solve it.
I agree, I may have been overly harsh in the beginning.
My problem is that with the rollback of changes after 1.35, they rolled back some of the libraries and more. And then we ignored this problem for a whole year, and only in the latest patch 1.36.* fixed it so that it could be broken back in 2.0.
Even without that many people get 200-300 FPS, far in excess of what their monitors can even display.
And it’s still about classic, but I want to play normally for what I paid - reforged. 50 fps in a scene with a certain number of units in company - It should be a shame.
It’s probably a good thing that HD hasn’t caught on in the ladder at all, and most people just don’t see this problem. Well, I will continue to keep 2 versions of the game (actually 4).
In 1.36, it was impossible to play on AMD+Nvidia for a whole year, yes, the FPS was more than the monitor could display, but there were freezes/spikes.

Well yes, this isn’t even that unusual of a problem. War3 is hardly the only game that’s ever had an issue selecting the correct graphics adapter to use. I suppose you could argue that makes it all the more egregious they can’t get it right, but it’s also a simple issue to work around.
I saw the complaints about this. I have both an AMD CPU and GPU, and while every patch I saw fluctations in frame rate, I never had freezes or spikes. Ever. Some patches the FPS was like 30-40% lower than normal. But it was still stable, no spikes.
It could be the combination of nvida GPU and AMD CPU, who knows. I don’t think so, because I have seen some complaints from intel users before as well, but I can’t rule it out.
Chanji could you try what I posted in my thread? This may or may not work as you have integrated graphics but its worth a shot.

CaptainJack seems to think that blizzard could do no wrong and it is all the users fault, This fixed my issue from 30 fps back to steady 200.
Hope this helps.
That isn’t what he said at all though? He explained a method to solve the problem and the OP ignored it.

100% false, I never said any such thing. I never said anything was any user’s fault nor did I say blizzard could do no wrong. It might be easy to say such hogwash when Blizzard is so unpopular but when you make poop up, you will be called out on it.
If you’re having a technical problem the command line arguments can potentially help- I literally only warned against using these arguments for people who have a problem and no other solution worked, because if it isn’t related to the problem, it can actually make performance worse. I personally had literally the exact opposite results of you. But it depends on everyone’s individual situation. What works for one may not work for another.
