I am running Diablo® II: Resurrected on a I7 12700k with Team Group 8Pack Edition 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 CAS 14-14-14-31 3200MHz Dual Channel Ram and a Western Digital BLACK SN850 1TB M.2 and an ASUS TUF RX 6800 XT and 55 inch LG OLED C1.
The game was running flawlessly at 4K ultra setting at VSync 60 frames.
After the 2.7.0 patch, the game is seriously glitching, to the point where it is has became absolutely unplayable. Every few second while outside of dungeons and even inside of dungeons, the game glitches, making combat and running around the map seriously jerky. It is impossible to play Diablo in this state!
What on earth did the developer do? Seriously! They need to fix this.
The game was running silky smooth on the previous patch, with vsync enabled. Now the game is just jerking every few seconds. Its is like some kind of micro stutter or micro freeze.
I updated my AMD Drivers to 23.4.3 and it made no difference.
The game is sicking to watch, as it just jerks and stutters every few seconds, which makes it completely unplayable. My FPS Counter is not running the games a solid 60FPS any more, and even when it gives me a solid 60FPS, the game still stutters and the animations look erratic!
Vertical Sync is completely broken on the Diablo 2 Resurrected 2.7 Patch.
I was previously running Diablo 2 Resurrected on an Asus TUF 6800XT Graphich Card at 4k Ultra with an Intel i7 12700k CPU on the previous patch, which was silky smooth. But on the new 2.7.0 Patch, even if I drop the quality preset down to low on 4k or even 1080P low, the frame rate goes absolutely erratic and is so glitchy that it makes play absolutely impossible for me.
I have been trying to find a solution to this problem since the 2nd May when the 2.7.0 patch was Rolled out. The only solution I have found is to play offline, as the experience is far better, although the game still suffers with Vsync issues, they are of a much less frequent nature.
I was wondering if there is anyway to permanently move my Online Diablo 2 Resurrected characters to permanently Offline characters, so I never have to deal with these game breaking issues again, with the rollout of the next patch.
Hey there. I’m having a similar issue with an i9 12900K, RTX 3090 and 32 gigs of RAM. Before the 2.7 patch everything was smooth, but ever since the patch was installed the game keeps stuttering every few seconds. It’s like a momentary freeze after which the character has moved a little bit more.
Not only does this affect movement, but it also causes some actions to not register at all, like when I click a chest to open it and it just happens to stagger at that moment, my character moves to the chest but then just stands there unless I click a second time.
Strangely enough, changing the processing priority of D2R.exe (e.g. open up the Task Manager, go into Details, right click on D2R.exe, and under Set Priority I choose High) seems to be able to relieve the issues. As an additional note, I noticed that BattleAgent.exe’s priority is set to Above Normal, and although changing it to Normal doesn’t help, I’m not sure if it should have priority over others.
I have not played Diablo 2 resurrected online, since the 2.7.0 Patch mucked up the Vsync, as it was unplayable. But in Offline mode it was working okay.
I changed the processing priority of D2R.exe to High, like you suggested and it seems to have fixed the Vsync issue for me.
I can now play Diablo 2 online again, after 10 days!
Without your intelligent analysis, where you perceived the problem introduced in patch 2.7.0, was one of a CPU Priority consequence, I would have been unable to play Diablo II: Resurrected online, until at least the release of the next Diablo II Patch.
It is rare (and I have been using the Internet since 19997), but sometimes you can get real gems of information from users on the Internet, and you certainly posted a jewel, with your suggestion “Strangely enough, changing the processing priority of D2R.exe (e.g. open up the Task Manager, go into Details, right click on D2R.exe, and under Set Priority I choose High)”.
Thank you again Selgesel, as you are a Wizard, and I am going to name my next Sorceress in Diablo 2 ‘Selgesel’ in your honour.
Thanks! I can confirm that disabling e-cores indeed helped fix the issue. I did this by installing Process Lasso and checking the Performance Mode Enabled box on the File menu.
It’s interesting to note that this issue has just started to happen with the 2.7.0 patch. I’ve had the same PC setup for ~10 months and never had any slow down or frame drops.
Same thing for Diablo IV which is a much more resource heavy game but doesn’t have any issues either.
I have the exact same issue with my 4090 / i9 13900k / 64 GB RAM PC…
I played a year ago on my older PC and everything was fine.
Now before Diablo 4, I wanted to play Diablo 2 Resurrected on my new system in 4k and it runs really bad. Micro Stutter every few seconds. I found it worse with online characters but offline it’s still bad. I thought something is wrong with my system but other games run smooth.
Pls fix it. I wont play further after finishing story. Really annoying and unplayable with these stutters.
Yep even this is what I am experiences right now. Thank god, that it does not have something to do with my hardware. But still… sad to see that the game now has such problems. A year ago when I played the last time, it was super fine.
This ony helps to make it a little bit less annoying- but the problem is still there and with online characters still more than with offline. Not a true fix but thx anyways.
The game is in need of a new patch to fix this problem!
Thanks for the suggestion, but I already did disable the e cores in the Bios, and although it somewhat relieved the issues, the game was still not running smooth, until I changed the processing priority of D2R.exe to High, like Selgesel suggested.
But you have to change the processing priority of D2R.exe to High, EVERY single time to run Diablo 2.
It has been 19 days since the 2.7.0 patch introduced these issues, and there is still no sign of a patch to address these game breaking issues. WHY?
same thing for me here, had very jerky graphics since 2.7.0, i just changed the priority of the process to “high” and now it is a bit better. Still erratic but a bit less
I hope they will fix that in next version.
Thank you for the workaround
Sounds good, exept that I do not know what a taskmaster is or where to find it.
Been looking through D2R files but I cant find that D2R.exe to rightclick on.
soo the new season is here and the stuttering problem hasn’t been fixed yet? not for me at least, I really want to play the game without having to set priority in task manager every time I launch the game but I guess 100% of staff is at d4 right now and they don’t even look at d2 for now
