Diablo2 sluggish gameplay

Does Diablo2 have problems with via chipsets or promise ultra100 controllers? I just upgraded my system with three new components, an Asus A7V133 motherboard with a 1Ghz AMD cpu and a geforce2 pro video card. Diablo2 ran fine on my old abit + 300mhz celeron setup, but on my new setup it runs extremely choppy/sluggish, and this is full install in singleplayer (worse in multi-play because of lag) and in all versions of D2,D2X. I am using the newest via chipset drivers and the latest nvida refrence drivers. The only other difference from my old setup is that I am now running my harddrive off of the promise ultra controller. The rest of my system specs is soundblaster live value and 256 MB of ram and a 512 mb swap file. Does anybody know of anything that could help fix the sluggish gameplay?

try disabling the dos emulation stuff from the soundblaster .
for the rest try underclocking the FSB (this helped in some cases tho it is rather silly to UC your machine hehe)

I've been having a good look around here on the net and I found out about the sluggish problem is due to a problem of the Motherboard!!!!

I was shocked and a good freind of mine is a good referance to this as he has the Intel 815e chipset and his game is fine. Mine is not and I have a Intel 440 chipset.

After an hour or two of looking we found the following info. I hope that it helps. Just follow the following link:

he is using a Asus A7V133 motherboard so he has a via chipset and not a intel one .
installing the intel one will prolly mess up his computer.

the 440bx chipset is the best chipset ever produced by intel .
and should run d2 fine .
okay so it is an old chipset nowdays

intel should never produced the 815 chipset hehe

    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats

  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
