Complete Freezes with new nVidia Driver!(1)Category: Technical SupportDecember-21-2012 5:52 AM PST (10 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
Hello

so the driver 310.70 is around for a while now and an official WHQL release as of late.

However, more & more threads come up in the web of people experiencing complete freezes in Diablo 3. They are related to the new driver, but the testers probably didn´t recognize it, because sometimes you can very well play 2-3 hours or more without one happening.
Then all of the sudden you may get two freezes in 15min, it´s totally random.

It usually happens when you use a skill (not a certain one, happens with both my barbarian & witch doctor), duration of the freeze is 3 to 10 or more seconds, game freezes completely, you can only move the mouse or tab out to windows.

As many people aren´t only playing Diablo 3 (obviously...) and appreciate the bonus performance this driver provides for other games, the answer "just download the older one again" is no option.

I hope a blue one reads this, as something has to be done about it, absolutely impossible to play hardcore like that, as sooner or later your character will freeze & die into an elite pack.

Just going to lock this thread as it's fairly old, but if you're on the latest driver DeadlyStyx, please check here:
