Issue with skipping:

[EMan77]

Now I know this game has issues with rubberbanding. I've never had a major problem with it to this point, probably because I downloaded a couple of the fixes on these forums.

Recently though, as of this week actually, I noticed that the frames per second seemed to start skipping a bit whenever I looted anything (gold, items, etc..) or whenever I brought a window up (map, character screen/inventory, mastery trees, etc..). Other than these times, the game runs fine.

Turning all detail down and sound acceleration down didn't help. My video card drivers (Geforce 8800 GTS) are up to date. I've recently de-fragged my drives. Nothing has helped.

I'm using the latest versions of the Defiler and fan made patch.

Now maybe I just never noticed it before, but I like to think I'm pretty observant usually. I can almost swear these little skips during looting and opening windows started recently. Not much has changed on my PC lately. Definitely nothing hardware wise.
