Game unplayable since patch 3.9.0e? for Win7 users (FPS issue) STILL A PROBLEM AFTER 3.9.1b :(

Upgrading to Win 10 is just a temporary and flat solution since Win 10 users also notice huge fps drops but they do not report as much because if u drop from 120 to 60 frames game is still playable as normal for your eyes but it does happen on Win 10 aswell just not so drastic and mostly because Win 10 users tend to have 16GB and more RAM so if game is using around 6GB right now then is it still plenty of memory to go with.

But problem is not in our systems but in their code. I drop frames to 20 with Win 7 and 8GB RAM, my bf drops to 30-60 frames from 120 on Win 10 with 16GB in same fights. So ye, upgrading to Win 10 is just like covering the shiet with carpet to stop seeing it for a while but the stench will remain.

The biggest issue here is horrible choice of time regarding patches and poor communication. They did say it is on priority list and they can say 1st January - "Well, Win 7 is no longer supported, we cannot do anything, deal with it" but they also cannot say it is ONLY Win 7 issue. It is a whole game issue. Any observant gamer knows that if u can run Witcher 3 on high settings with 120 FPS and u drop on this potato game to 60 in a one fight ON WIN 10, with 16GB and RTX2060 then it is no longer just Win 7 to blame. Win 10 is just a bit better at managing memory usage while using half more memory and that's it.

Besides a one month ago we didn't have issue running a Blighted maps filled with one bazilion mobs and effects so...

Awaiting fix and words of explenation why is it taking so long and what kind of spaghetti code did u make?!

Right now i keep on playing with one core as it helps for some reason to prevent big memory leak and i manage to play on maps and delve as long as i avoid too many events going on around at the same time aka abyss/breach/legion.

Cheers.

Ok the problem is definetely their shiity dinamic lighning and shadows
There is 3pp that allows to turn that shit off and that does fix windows 7/10 fps slutter (tho it does dc on location load accosionally). But damn it makes game so much more enjoyable.

Im pretty sure most people in this thread dont need shadows and dinamic lighning, so stop bullshitting people GGG and add disabling that as option ingame (since if some 3pp can do that it should be more then managable)

I ended up just upgrading from windows 7 to 10 after reading a post where someone mentioned the overall performance was improved and I have to say it does feel like I gained 30 FPS. A lot of unexplained stuttering I was experiencing is gone, and memory usage tops out at only 2.5gb after one map whereas before it was 5-6gb.

I personally believe this "memory leak" has been present for a long time and 3.9 was the tipping point where it started actually affecting people on a large scale. At least for me, I'd still have to restart the client every so often for the past couple leagues. Still would be nice to have it solved, but if it's truly a long standing bug I doubt GGG will put in the dev resources to fix it.

What is that app you are talking about? I'd be really glad to disable useless shadows... If GGG can't do it.

My problem is that there is absolutely no communication from developer's side. "BuT It'S HoLIDaYS" well tough luck cause that's when most people have time to actually play the game. Fix the leak it's been present ingame for like 5 leagues fix the crashing fix the drop rates of organs or at least tell us to f**k off you are not going to bother fixing a problem for a dead OS (when it's almost as bad on win 10 as it is on win 7) so we don't have to wait for an explanation and just move on.

classic ggg, either league is stupid at the beggining (bestiary, synthesis, blight - this one actually was bad whole league), or league is great (metamorph, betrayal) and make technical issuess not worth playing it....

Wow, i havent played for 2 weeks, and usually GGG is able to fix VERY BIG BUGS like that, that also affect alot of people...
But it seems they cant, really dissapionted in them at the moment...
Hope this doesnt go on like that, i really consider going back to diablo

I am unable to play without experiencing this crash this league. It was not like this for me the previous leagues (i was not part of the affected folks who experienced the syndicate crash and other stuff). Is GGG still actively trying to fix this or are we moving on to next league? I am also having this problem and I am not sure if GGG is still actively trying to fix.

I just really hope they gonna answer all of our question... Its so stupid that they jsut cant response either they cant fix it or they can, i just want then to say something!
