D2LOD - Bnet - freezes for 3-5 seconds...

[killaklown]

My diablo 2 freezes for about 3-5 seconds when diablo and baal is killed, how can i fix this? I have DSL and Windows XP and its only diablo and baal (when im close to them, if there not on my screen its fine)

It's lag.

Computer specs?

 

[killaklown]

2.2 GHZ (i think.. its about 4 years old)
100gb hard drive


dont really know anything more then that, is there a place it shows my specs (something like something that shows your browser and ip, etc but for your computer)

well mine doesn't freeze my specs....

2.8Ghz
1gb ram
200gb hard drive

Well, thoose specs should easily be enough to run d2.Unless you have like 64mb of ram, im not sure what the problem is.

could it be video card, or connection rate.

Its only when you get Quest? or is it all the time? cus when i get Quest i lag too.... But if I have Quest and kill, then it run Fine ...

im thinking when it may be when its a quest.

And I can run Battlefield 2 fine on my computer, no lag online, so i dont know whats up with d2, lol.

your ram COULD be the problem, ti could also be your videocard, with DSL your connection speed should be fine

to check ram: Start > Right click my computer and click properties, look in the lower right, itll tell you your processor, speed of cpu, and ram. anything over 500mb SHOULD do pretty good, anything over 1gb should be lag free

if your like me (and using a weak ass video card) that could and is at least part of your problem.

to check videocard: start > Control Panel > System, then look for your video card, google the name of it and find out how powerful it is.

also, diabloII loves lag, im not 100% sure why but i think its cause of the version of DirectX that it uses, diablo 2 always lags to a point.

I know its not my computer, cause battlefield 2 works fine, no lag. and you need a lot of ram and a good graphics card for that game. I mean, d2 is like 5 years old or even older, it wouldnt need a more powerful system then battlefield 2 does..

Does everyone have this lag freeze-up when your killing baal/diablo for a quest? (it also only happens some times that its for a quest, diablo freezes more then baal does)

first off, diablo is 10 years old now, it was originaly released in 96'.

secondly, as i said, diablo lags by nature, nothign can fix it.

try reinstalling, sometimes i have the lag problem as well, well i did at soem points, reinstallijng often fixed the problem for me.

nope... Diablo was released in 96, Diablo 2 was released in 2000 and LOD was released a year or so after.. lol.

anyways thanks.
