HELP: High CPU Usage when play Diablo 2

Hello guys!

Can someone give me solutions about High CPU Usage Problem.

When i play Diablo 2, my CPU Usage's always about 30%-40%, in combat it increase to ~60% and too lag while i cast skills.

My Laptop is not bad at all

I tried everything i found on google: Compatibility, Run as admin, Glide, Update graphic driver, Update windows, Run with 1,2,3,4 processors, Turn off Antivirus, etc... but this problem still happen day by day

I love Median XL and Diablo so much but can't play it

The game engine reaches its limit easily.

However there will be A new engine, which reduces laggs by a lot.

Until then try out -nosound and close your map when you don‘t need it.

Thanks for help. I tried -ns but its not affect

Also it's made to keep your hands warm on a long session.

Changing videomode may help..

Laptop.... sound like you are using Intel graphic.
Of course that can cause spike in CPU because the "graphic card" itself is in the CPU chip itself.

If you have dual-graphic setting, plz set it in the card software panel.

Its a feature.

I tried Direct2D, Direct3D, Glide setting already, still same problem.

My laptop has dual-graphic setting, i set the Nvdia graphic card to play Diablo too, still cannot help

So sad guys

(((((. I'm thinking about back to windows 7 or ghost my windows 10 btw ::(

afaik, its a known issue for win10. you can install a virtual win7 and run d2 in that, maybe that will reduce cpu usage.
