I reached out to fmod (dot) com because Blizzard won’t or can’t do it, clearly.

Smooth as silk, no stuttering… However, like all quick fixes there is a downside, it disables ALL AUDIO in-game when you do this, however the stuttering and jerky game play is one-hundred-percent-resolved. How do we know this? Simple, and many know of this “fix” already which has been a thing since at LEAST OCT 2020 (wtf Blizzard/EA?!).Īll you need to do is grab a copy of this DLL from another Blizzard game folder (Heroes of the Storm for example, I took mine from a Steam game and that worked) and overwrite the one in the /Diablo III/64 folder and start the game up.ġ00% resolved. The stuttering you have in game, worse when you are grouped, is caused by an issue with this Lib/DLL/Diablo III. This file is over 10 years old, and that’s the latest version. There is a very very old DLL file that is used for Audio in Diablo III. The first two items I mass salvage sound without reverb, then the third has some reverb and then cuts out.Īll these issues are occurring regardless of where in the game I am. The other odd thing I noticed when salvaging items at the blacksmith, is the sound is not consistent with it’s effects. I can literally have my character sheet open with all the images visible, close it and reopen it and have to wait for the images to load again. Crafting tabs (at the blacksmith, jeweler, etc.) are also not showing up, though the tooltip shows up when I mouse over it. I can still mouse over the “blank” inventory slot and see the tooltip, but no image in slot. The other issue I’m running into is that the image of the items on my character sheet and in my inventory take a few seconds to load.

I did lower the sound quality to 16 (from 32).

Like the OP, I’m having lag spike issues while playing, and haven’t had these issues on my current PC in the past.
