Graphic Problem - Chain Lighting Spell

Post by HumanHog » Mon May 07, 2012 10:53 pm

Hello.

I've a problem with Chain Lighting spell... It's level 11 right now, and when i use this against many enemies i get LAG's. Not lag but LAG. My FPS runs down to 1-2...

It doesn't happen with any other spell.

I tried:
-reinstalling video card drivers (it's geforce 4 440mx (yep i KNOW it's ancient))
-using glide-wrapper for D2
- tried to play with -ns shortcut parameter
-closing all other processes, even firewall

Anyone have experienced such problems? Maybe is there a way to disable Chain Lighting spell visibility, so it won't be shown in game? Or change it to something less-memory-eating?

If my Google search was correct, your video adapter is indeed ancient. I'm sorry, but there is nothing you can do to change the Chain Lightning spell. Even if the animation is changed, it would still be the same number of images to draw on screen, so it wouldn't accomplish anything.

But Immolation works great, and it makes more images, doesn't it?

Bleeech...

Is there any Sorcerer on forum that shares my problem? Or don't have such problem with his chain lightings?

I wouldn't say Immolation creates more images than Chain Lightning, far from it actually ;) Each lightning is composed by many small lightning bolts, while each fireball of Immolation is just a single image.

Well, thanks anyway Onyx for looking into it. I've started playing bard right now, so I hope to not experience such problems anymore.

Is there anyone wanting to play with me on hc? Send me PM, I am active player.
