Hey everyone! I’m struggling with Diablo 4 since the recent update. My CPU usage is hitting almost 100% across all cores, and I’m getting stutters every few seconds, which is super frustrating. It’s not a thermal issue, as other games and benchmarks run perfectly fine. Before adding the VoH addon, the game was running smoothly, but now it’s a mess. Here’s my system setup:
– **CPU**: Intel Core i9-285K (no overclock, Intel Performance Profile enabled)
– **Mainboard**: ASUS Z890 Maximus Hero (BIOS version 1801)
– **GPU**: ASUS RTX 5090 (PCIe 5.0 x16)
– **RAM**: Corsair Dominator DDR5-6400
– **PSU**: Corsair 1500W
– **Storage**: WD 4TB SN850X M.2 SSD
– **OS**: Windows 11 Pro (latest version, fully updated)
Any tips on what I can do to fix this?

I’ve had some stuttering with the frame generation feature turned on. If you have that enabled, try disabling it and see if it improves your performance. Additionally, I’ve noticed that some recent GPU drivers might not be stable, so rolling back to an earlier version could help too.
I feel your pain! I’m playing on a different setup and haven’t had stuttering issues at all. Is it possible there’s a background task hogging CPU resources? Sometimes a rogue application can sneak in and mess things up, so it’s worth checking your task manager.
Sounds like this might be a common issue lately since I heard others are noticing stutters too. Have you checked your GPU usage while playing? Sometimes, an update can switch the game to use the integrated graphics instead, so you might want to double-check your settings to ensure it’s using your RTX 5090 properly.
Also, keep an eye on your NVIDIA drivers, since they’ve been a bit hit or miss recently and could be contributing to the problem.
