Suddenly D3 is crashing my computer. I have no idea why since I had been playing it for hours with no issues up to a week ago. All of a sudden this week it's not going 15 minutes below the screen blacks out, freezes, and I have to restart. I tried Hearthstone and it runs fine, so I don't think it's the launcher.
Very odd, but unplayable for me atm.
Sounds like overheating. I've now run AC3 for hours on steam with no crashing problems. Minecraft runs with no problems, Hearthstone no problems. It's just D3. Blizzard keeps denying this but several threads are popping up. They've done something with this upgrade patch.

My D3 has done it since several patches after release. NOTHING I have done has made it any better or fixed it, hence me holding off on getting this because if I can only play for 10-12 minutes at a time before it crashes or dumps the computer, what's the point? Granted I don't play too many heavily graphic intensive games on this machine and it is a bit older, but even WoW maxed out doesn't tax this computer or cause any issues.

Both of you need to actually test if its heat. Install one of the many softwares that monitors gpu load and gpu heat and figure out if that's what is causing the problem. Because if its heat its not something you want to fuck around with and its a problem you need to fix yourself.
I have ASUS's GPU Tweak atm but that is not the best I've ever used but I don't really care besides being able to control my fan settings myself.

I'm having trouble believing any Blizzard game overheats a graphics card. All of their shit is so processor intensive.

Made a comment to Hoax actually about how they should do bottomless rifts with increasing difficulty. Major feature of patch 2.1? Patch 2.1 will also introduce Tiered Rifts, which offer a challenge scenario where players take on increasingly challenging rifts.

SC2 did at launch with it's uncapped FPS menus. Burning out your videocard on a menu has to be the lamest way to go. The easiest way to solve the mystery of whether it's heat or something else is just to check the GPU temperature. If you have an ATI card the GPU temp should be listed in Catalyst Control Center. If Nvidia, they have separate install that will monitor GPU temperature and changes names every 6 months.

There can't be this many complaints with this many crashes going on in the tech forums by accident.

It happens if you are grouping with other classes.

I was getting non-primary stats on items before the hotfix, I guess they didn't want it happening on all items. It's a real treat when it it rolls like that on legendaries...
Man white items for crafting are impossible to find, if someone finds a white level 70 bow (doubleshot), I would be super grateful.

From what I recall "smart" rolls only kick in 20% of the time, so the other 80% of the time you get a completely random item as per normal for ARPGs.
For white items for crafting, there's a couple of places where they drop a lot. for weapons in particular, you can either try the end of Act 1 from the torturer's tools, or the path to Corvus in act 5 which has lots of ancient weaponry stands.

Yeah, Smart Roll isn't on everything, it's a percentage. Which is for the best, to be honest with you.
For reasons that ought to be obvious.

I'd say its 80% "smart" rolls which is way too fucking much if you ask me.

That's what other characters are for. Got a level 69 Cindercoat on my Monk with some nice rolls. Made me want to level the wizard up rather than focus on the Monk entirely. Now that I'm doing that I'm not sure I want to go back to the monk.

The window also forces itself into the foreground every 5 seconds or so, so you can't keep it running while doing something else.

I think you have that backwards.

In that house up in the northeast corner by the chicken coop, it can be a number of different encounters there.

For white items, just open up weapon/armor racks doing Normal mode adventure runs while farming for legendaries.
If i see a doubleshot I'll call it out, but otherwise they've been fairly easy to farm while going about normal farming

They're saying DDoS's going on, not aimed at Blizzard but affecting them: Update 31/03/2014 20:00 CEST: Please be aware that we received new reports of another series of DDos attacks
Over the course of the weekend Diablo, World of Warcraft, StarCraft and Hearthstone players may have been impacted by high latency and disconnections during their gaming experience that are the result of a series of DDoS attacks on certain European online services. Although Blizzard’s infrastructure wasn’t targeted, the disruption effects rippled and have been felt by a portion of our players’ population.
While we are still closely monitoring the situation we wanted to thank you for your patience and apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Someone was saying on chat to farm normal for legendaries, from the bounty caches i assume. Do they really have the same chance as the torment caches to drop legendaries? cause that would be dumb.

You farm normal for caches for cache specific legendaries in larger quantities. For new level 70s it's great for gearing up fast. Beyond that, do Torment.
Right now, I do normal-mode farming and then run all rifts on t1-3 range

This tinker bitch does not sell white items. She's a regular merchant, she can RANDOMLY have a white item.

I see someone else got the Sydryu Crust recipe as well. Yes. And the fact that no legendaries other then belts seem to be dropping is even more annoying, why are white items even used in the first place? As if the mountains of Forgotten Souls needed or the recipies themselves weren't hard enough to find on their own...

I have the greatsword, two pauldrons and a helmet if anyone wants them. I'm not seeing patterns or legendaries in general drop enough to bother holding on to them.
Hell, I'll be lucky if I ever get the mats for Reaper's Wraps and that's a guaranteed pattern drop.
