DIABLO IV FPS DROP ISSUE

[SpIkEyPoO]

After moving between areas on Diablo IV I would often get FPS drops from 144FPSS (G-Sync) to 10FPS - Tracked it down to compatibility issue with Wallpaper Engine, upon closing app immediately go back to 144FPS

It could be that you are running out of video memory or similar. In the app, you can create an application rule for Diablo 4 and set Wallpaper Engine to "Stop (free memory)" whenever the .exe is running:

Alternatively, you can just set "Other application fullscreen" to "Stop (free memory)" in the Performance tab of the Wallpaper Engine settings, this will also fully turn off the app whenever a game is launched. This only works well if you have only one screen, though.

Checked mem usage, never went over 11gb (12gb 3080-ti) but ill give it a go.

I had this issue, when I set specific rules for the Diablo EXE to "Pause per monitor", the frame drops went away. Hope this helps!

How are you able to do that specifically to Diablo 4/any program? I only get Stop (free memory.) I only get Pause Per Monitor for the settings in general.

Sorry, I double checked and it was "Pause" and not "Pause per monitor."

In Settings, under the Performance tab, click "Application rules" and add the application there. I chose Diablo IV.exe, then condition "Is running" and Wallpaper playback to "pause." Definitely does not seem to have a "Pause per monitor" option.

wallpaper engine is going crazy while Diablo IV is running, for me and for everyone I know that runs this software, my fix for now was to uninstall it, just add a fix by default!

The .exe takes up over 95% of the GPU in task manager while the game never goes above 25% by itself.

You fixed it by uninstalling? Weird...how about to just turn off the software while you play Diablo and turn it back on afterwards?
