AMD/ATI USERS - Crashing or Desolate sands not working.(1)Category: GeneralAugust-29-2015 9:20 AM PDT (9 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
I was using a 6950 HD radeon and was having some serious issues with Diablo 3.
I switch to a 470gtx I had sitting around and game now plays with no flaws.

Someone in Bug forum posted replacing a .dll file to fix this which makes diablo 3 read DX9.
An it fixes these some issues in the game.

One of my issues was I was unable to load into desolate sands.
There is a problem with the AMD drivers that will cause you issues.

Amd has announced that older cards under 7000 series will not be getting a dx12 update.
This could be a cause or issue in windows 10 and the recent driver update.
I hear they are working on it. But be known if you own anything under 7000 series of AMD/ATI stuff
you will not have the option of Dx12. Unless AMD honors complaints.

So if you own AMD/ATI you will probably experience issues right now in D3 it is not Blizzard.

You might want to give AMD's latest Catalyst beta drivers a try. They claim to resolve, among other things, the system hanging when launching Diablo III.

The AMD Catalystâ„¢ Software Suite, AMD Catalystâ„¢ 15.8 Beta Driver contains the following:
AMD Catalystâ„¢ Display Driver version 15.201.1151
