Low FX is Always On(1)Category: Technical SupportAugust-26-2014 12:51 PM PDT (8 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
Hey there,

Played Diablo III yesterday with no problems - but as of the patch, it seems Low FX is permanently switched on no matter what I set the option to. All special effects are nearly non-existant: blessed hammers, for instance, have an almost invisible lightning trail when equipped with the lightning rune.

For the record, I'm running a GTX 670 and have never had graphical problems before. Tried deleting d3prefs and restarting the program. No go.

Can you post some information about your computer? You can find this information in the Direct X Diagnostic Tool:

Click on Start
Click on Run
Type in: dxdiag (In Vista, type dxdiag in the search field)
Hit Enter or OK

Click on the Save All Information button at the bottom, and create a dxdiag text file, and copy and paste it ALL here.

Could you also post your D3Prefs.txt file? It's located in the My Documents\Diablo III folder.

Zoduul,

What you're saying then is despite it being set properly in the D3Prefs file

LowFX "0"

It's showing as enabled in-game?

Are you sure you're using the right game client and not the PTR for example?

Zoduul,

I'll see if I can reproduce it on my Crusader, give me a few minutes.

Zoduul,

I'm afraid I really don't see the issue but admittedly, I don't play a Crusader regularly so unless there's a visual issue I can see currently, I wouldn't be able to make a reference to how something looked prior to today. This doesn't really appear to be Tech Support related though. I'd suggest making a post about it in our Bug Reports forum to let our QA guys know it's happening. If I come across anything further related to it, I'll post here again.
