Technical Support - Massive performance drop after Update - Forum

This forces the x32 version of the game to run on your dedicated video card, but does not fully fix the program, because we have to force the x64 version as well. 4. Click on the "Add" button and search for the x64 executable of the game(easiest way is to just run the x64 executable once, and it will appear on top of the list, if not use the "Browse" button), select it and click "Add Selected Program". 5. Do the same thing as stated at number 3. for this executable, and click "Apply". Now you should be able to run the game from Steam and you should have your performances back. This madman literally fixed it. THANK YOU!!! O yeah thanks for nothing GGG	Posted by Cuckslayer on Sep 8, 2019, 5:54:33 PM Quote this Post

This worked for me as well. At first I did not think it worked...it took me a minute to realize that choosing "full screen" in the in-game setting kept reverting me back to not using my NVidia card... >_< Gah	Posted by SudianX on Sep 8, 2019, 8:38:21 PM Quote this Post
I had the same problems and immediately saw that the game reverted to the integrated card. I changed only the x64 in the nVidia settings and it solved a little but it's still stuttering as hell. I'll add the x32 version to the nVidia settings tonight, as suggested by Shadowphyre98, and see if it works. UPDATE: I did it for the x32 version, it's better, but as soon as I use a necro character stuttering goes wild again. I suppose there's a BIG problem with minion optimization, as reported in other threads. So... in minion league using minions gives you the worst performance? Good job... :-( I'm an ex-exile beacuse I play more rewarding ARPGs! :-P I miss the "Daily Insightful Charan" with my coffee! English is not my main language: that means I'll write strange things! :-D Last edited by Anteo12 on Sep 12, 2019, 4:51:16 AM	Posted by Anteo12 on Sep 9, 2019, 4:14:18 AM Quote this Post
The game is stuttering on everything but top end machines. On an overclocked (4.7Ghz) I7 + GTX 1070 i get massive stuttering. Server connection seems worse too. Ping is all over the place jumping from 25-150 on Frankfürt and Amsterdam. IGN: Cyanyx Last edited by Qmabyte on Sep 9, 2019, 6:51:10 AM	Posted by Qmabyte on Sep 9, 2019, 6:42:20 AM Quote this Post
" COMBOBEAST wrote: How to fix this issue : 1- Open Nvidia Control Panel 2- Go to Manage 3D Settings 3- In Global Settings => Preferred graphics processor : Set it to High-performance Nvidia processor. This will force the game to use your best graphics card available which it stopped doing after this patch. Thank you so much for this one OP!!!!

This does NOTHING for me! SO sad.. I never had the problem that another graphics card was used so forcing to use my 1080ti didn't change a thing. This having the same problems as you guys, drives me crazy! EDIT: Since the moethod didn't work for me I installed Windows 10 (as an upgrade from windows 7) and TADAAA fixed all the issues I had right away. Since the support for win7 stopps soon it's not the worst solution imo. Last edited by engelscore235 on Oct 3, 2019, 5:24:37 AM	Posted by engelscore235 on Sep 13, 2019, 12:29:09 PM Quote this Post

I literally changed out a recently-purchased laptop for a different model, in search of a solution to this problem. This actually worked. Thank you, man.
