Diablo III: FPS, inventory lag and strange mouse behavior

Post by db14 »

Hi,

I have mainly three problems with Diablo III, but first my system spec:

- Ryzen 1700
- 16GB RAM
- GeForce GTX 960
- Ubuntu MATE 17.04 with kernel 4.12.3-041203-generic
- Wine-staging 2.12 on 32bit prefix

The game itself works ok, but these three problems bug me a lot:

1. Inventory lag. In multiplayer games, when I go to the merchant my inventory is not shown. It takes sometimes up to 30seconds until the icons appear. I have no clue how to fix that, but I had that problem on previous installations as well (Mint17 etc.).

2. FPS. I'm not sure how much FPS I should get, but single player it's around 50, sometimes 40, sometimes 70. My CPU does not do much in that time, and my GPU is also only @ ~40% load.

3. Mouse. This one is annoying as hell. Exactly every 2nd left click is executed as single click without hold. For movement, I hold the left mouse button, but this only works every 2nd click. The other time my character just moves to the position where I clicked to. My mouse is ok, and works in other games/apps. This makes fluent gameplay nearly impossible. This problem was not present with my old system (Mint17) but I also had an older version of wine installed there (don't know which one tho).

Any help is highly appreciated!!

Ok, I found the root of the mouse problem: It always happens, when the blizzard app client is also open. As soon as I close the Blizzard Client, the problem is gone in Diablo III.
I'm not sure if this is a bug with wine, and if I should file a bug for that.

I'm having the mouse issue (click and hold only works every other time) as well, but I can confirm that closing the Battle.net application does work around the issue. I had some trouble actually getting the battle.net application to close (no option from the gui actually caused it to exit) but I was able to kill it from the command line while D3 was running and now I channel spells without frustration.

Try killing Battle.net after launching D3 like this:

Code: Select all

pgrep Battle.net | xargs kill
then return to D3 and hopefully it will be working as normal.

Thanks to @db14 for the pointer on this, it had been driving me insane!

I get this on Ubuntu 16.04

Code: Select all

Usage:
 kill [options] <pid> [...]

Options:
 <pid> [...]            send signal to every <pid> listed
 -<signal>, -s, --signal <signal>
                        specify the <signal> to be sent
 -l, --list=[<signal>]  list all signal names, or convert one to a name
 -L, --table            list all signal names in a nice table

 -h, --help     display this help and exit
 -V, --version  output version information and exit

For more details see kill(1).

Sounds like perhaps there's nothing being output from pgrep (possible Battle.net is not running). What do you get when you run just `pgrep Battle.net`?
