this is perfection my friend. exactly what I "was thinking". It really is this simple!

update:
iv upgraded my cpu to a ryzen7 5800x,
flashed my motherboard, completed my updates,
added 4x kingston fury 16gb ddr4 3200mhz of ram,
installed a watercooling system,
power supply 800

i am loading 4 games with nohd mod, all running low graphics with a capped frame rate of 58 on my left monitor
1080p, 1920x1080 @ 120hz refresh rate.
my main game has high graphics set on main monitor.

I am crashing without any in game pressure, simply swapping windows. which is actually a new problem.
before it was crashing the game only when a Mosaic assassin was in full burst... but now the screens themselves are locking up.

my cpu core temp is around 39-47C, GPU usage at 1-7%, spiking to mid 20s with all games open.

i need some further help here guys.

no crash so far after few days of running 9x D2R on Arch Linux (8x with nohd mod)

capped framerates lower than you did tho:


Dont think would be related to your crashes but making sure the RAM running proper speeds makes things run better overall
Sometimes even if the RAM on the packaging says "3200Mhz" still gotta enable the profile thing for it in BIOS, else sometimes they just default at like "2133Mhz" or something like that, not always but sometimes they do

For your crashes tho, would suggest trying different Linux distros and settle for the one that works for you

after finally switching the CPU cooler, tried pushing that rig even more on Arch Linux by playing solo ladder HC P8 while having browser and music while also streaming:
https://twitch.tv/woofgoesblep/videos
did a 21h stream followed by a 51h stream (98 to 99 ladder HC & 1 to 94 on new HC char)

it ran pretty well overall

Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021 should be good for a good 5-6 years

windows aint "good", stop kidding yourself

jfc, literal stockholm syndrome these mofos stg

By with nohd mod you mean legacy mode?

no its an actual mod that makes the game more lightweight to run
it removes the cinematics cutscenes, removes the lobby chat (so not bothered by all that spam) and so on, pretty much lifechanger tbh
when entering a game with loader that uses the mod, still gotta manually enable legacy graphics for better resource management (else screen is black anyways, but D2R UI for inventory and whatnot, so still gotta use legacy there regardless too)
been streaming with it for 2 ladders in a row so far (alongside lootfilter from the same maker of that mod, nohd on loaders, lootfilter on main)

imo that does pass the "straight face test" thing
like, there a streamer out there that talked about things kinda like that, tho not the mods, but he coined that whole "can u look at something with a straight face and be like, yea, thats legit" when he was talking a macro that he had, which bunch of speedrunners do have character & game creation macros type thing, but his macro was just too good it looked like proper botting automation lol, so that did not pass the "straight face test"
however some other things do, and imo that includes those mods as well which do actually pass that "straight face thing"
wouldnt encourage to break ToS, but in alot of things in life, that whole "straight face test" thing could be applied
in a world where laws are not fair and abused by loopholes, gut feeling is often more accurate to determine if something wrong or right

ill update here if able to if getting banned in the coming years for using a mod on stream, a mod that pretty much "just allows to run more instances of the games that u actually bought"
like, even for blizzard... if people actually able to run more instances then they would make more money from more sales too
thats a everyone winning situation type thing here
- users can run the game more smoothly with less crashes, bloat, lobby spam bullshits
- blizzard making more monies because users are actually able to run the games that they bought so they could buy even more when able to run more games stable no crashes

500 gigabytes ram only works with power supply 800

nohd.txt has size 16 GB

so use watercooling at 120hz refresh rate

ddr4 ram gives 8fps

so we can use a cmsq?

the only way to get a shael shael zod cmsq is to use command htop

otherwise to will crash the BIOS at 30 GB

nonbuffered ram may not work on hardcore characters
