So, I tried talking to Blizzard Tech Support but, apparently, they connect you with a live agent who tells what the FAQ section says and, if that doesn't help, they say 'sorry, legacy game, no bueno'.
Which... I mean, yeah, it's a 14 year old game (never mind that I've bougt 5 copies) but... it's just annoying that they offer tech support just to tell you 'we don't offer tech support'. It's a waste of their time and mine. <.<
ANYWAY
This is, in my mind, the go-to place for savvy players so maybe someone here can help.
I'm getting severe in-game lag spikes. These occur in single player, so has nothing to do with my connection. I have a ddwrapper in my game directory to help with the endless compatability issues. I have run the game in compatability mode with all the settings checked (256 colors, 640x480, disable DPI, etc) and I've tried without this and just the ddwrapper. I've even disabled Aero for good measure.
My video drivers are updated and this happens regardless of if I'm running LoD or Eastern Sun (the mod I'm actually interested in playing). I'm running WIndows 7.
I feel like I've tried everything but I really want to get this to work. I finally got my fiancee to agree to play and we were even going to upload some youtube videos for fun but I can't find a way around this.
Any help would be appreciated. ;________;
