Lagg spikes - cpu big usage - SOLVED!

This worked amazingly for me! Like others in the thread, I've noticed that you'll ALSO get a lag spike for NPC/Player Dialogue IF it's outputting to the chat!

You can disable this in two ways (both seem to take care of the lag spikes)

1. OPTIONS - INTERFACE - CHAT - OUTPUT DIALOGUE TO CHAT (DISABLE)
If this setting is disabled, you'll still hear the dialogue, but it won't appear in chat and cause a lag spike.

2. OPTIONS - SOUND - GENERAL - DISABLE GAMEPLAY EVENT VOICES (ENABLE)
This setting will turn off NPC event dialogue entirely. I believe it also disables player character dialogue, but I'm not 100% sure.

I was getting really frustrated with all the lag, thank you for figuring it out!

I disabled this setting, and I've done very, very minimal play since then, but talking to Una in Act 1 as a vendor, her vendor chat still goes into the chat window.

*Maybe* disabling voices too would fix it... but I want to hear their voices.

i found this to be true also. one way i solved it temporarily is open chat and type "/clear" i saw someone in chat post this (THANK YOU, but i cant remember your name)and it worked.

This worked for me! Thank you so much.
Incredible that this is allowed to exist (or was coded like that in the first place). FIX IT.

I was skeptical, but this seemed to fix it. Frames will still lower in massive areas, but that is to be expected. Its the frame "stuttering" that was making the game unplayable. Thank you so much for solution

Using /cls finally fixed my strange CPU/UI lag spikes. The game is playable again!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

Problem doesn't exist with me which i find odd

ou are a genious - thank you for fixing it - finally I can play without hitting the table - LoL - seriously it was game breaking - now the gme feels quite easy - as I already adapted to the unknown...LoL
WORKS PERFECT!

While I felt no actual benefit from switching the chat channels, disabling this instantly fixed every single freeze I've been experiencing. Even those that are seemingly unrelated. For example, I was having a massive 2-3 second freeze every time I opened a strongbox, which I just assumed was the game spawning the mobs. Now, it's smooth as butter. It's kind of insane that the game can easily handle spawning 40 3D models, yet it gets completely destroyed by a single line of text...
