Ok so a month or so back when the new Diablo 3 expansion came out (Reaper of Souls), I downloaded it, installed, and it ran like a champion. I'm not sure what the FPS were but i could handle anything the game threw at me without so much as a hiccup.
Fast forward a few weeks ago (about 2), right around the time Blizzard was having some network issues on Battle.net (lot of disconnects), the performance suddenly dropped on my pc, specifically DIablo 3 + ROS. It's simply atrocious now, Im talking as low as 5 FPS up to 80's but they seem to hover in the 10-50 FPS range.
If i go into any battle where there is more than 1 or 2 creeps my computer starts begging me to stop, my fps drops to 10 or below. I cannot figure for the life of me what the heck is going on. I have tried the Battle.net repair function, ive turned sound quality to low, ive done every type of in-game video adjustment i can do, i've even lowered the settings to the lowest possible and only saw a VERY slight increase in performance.
I've updated the newest drivers for video card and completed removed the old ones. I am at a loss as to what the heck could be causing this. I have recently installed Skyrim and am playing that on great settings with no issues that i can notice. FPS seem to sit right at 60 (which is my refresh) rate all the time.
Diablo 3 has been out 2 years and my system is a beast for that game, any ideas on what it could be? Ive checked my task manager and i have nothing crazy running, no resource hog taking up things, everything seems to check out ok for what programs are running.
Is there a free program available that could tell me what programs or background items may be hogging my system? Is anyone else having issues with Diablo 3 recently that sounds similar to my issue? Perhaps its a Blizzard patch problem...
