power saving mode on start up(1)Category: Technical SupportSeptember-4-2014 11:48 PM PDT (8 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
I just purchased reaper of souls, when i load up the game i get to my character selection page and it just shuts my monitors off and says "power save mode". It never did this before i got reaper. I tried giving my card a break thinking it was overheating but it still does it instantly. Every other game ive tried runs fine. Any suggestions?

Subohms,

Try editing your D3Prefs.txt file located in My Documents\Diablo III.

Using a text editor like Notepad, change either or both of these lines if they exist.

DisplayModeWindowMode "0"
Vsync "0"

to

DisplayModeWindowMode "1"
Vsync "1"

Save the file and try the game again now.

Airduct,

When you get a chance, 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.

Subohms,

I'd like to see the temperature that the gpu is reaching when this happens. As you have two monitors, you can start a temp monitoring app on one while starting the gamer on the other. Hopefully, you'll be able to see if there's a sharp rise occurring and possibly how high it gets.

I'd recommend using MSI's Afterburner for the temp utility.
