Looking for things to do to reduce slowdown. Playing a totem necro, a lot going on especially in crowded areas. I can still move around and teleport out of danger, but between my totems and bloodmage merc, I often encounter periods of lag/slowdown. No danger of dying yet, but I'm concerned about later difficulties and harder content.
Using the Direct3d option, and am using a VPN as well. Haven't gotten a chance to see if I have the same issues on single player, I noticed the character files are stored locally, I'm assuming I can just copy them over to a separate D2 install.
Any suggestions on how to improve this situation?
