DemonBuddy Stops Responding if Window not Active.

Hello,

I'm having this issue where if my Diablo3 window is not active as in not being the primary window on my desktop it just gets stuck, I leave it running in the background along with my wow client but my diablo 3 client starts to work really slowly at like 2-4 fps and then it just stands still until I click the Diablo3 window and it becomes active again and then it starts to farm again, Anyone else having this issue?

Also I've tried another 3rd party and when the clients are running in the background doesn't lag them at all, they are fluid and flawless, so I dont think is my computer.

Hello Tony,

Yes D3 is in windowed mode, both clients and both ftp options are at 30.

I'm going to use this post to add some alternative steps, other than restarting. I have spent a lot of time on this and restarting your computer doesn't always fix it. If you have tried the DemonBuddy wizard, turned off your A/V, restarted, and reinstalled DB again already these additional steps may fix your issue as they fixed mine.

Steps:
1. Right click on your DemonBuddy.exe file and look at bottom of general tab. Is there an "Unblock" button? this is there because WIN7 detected it was build on different machine. Obviously you should Click the Unblock button. Click 'OK' to close window.

2. The concept of Step 2 is to make yourself the owner of everything DemondBuddy whether is profiles .exe or .dll files. Easiest way to do this is find the containing folder that you placed it in and right click and go to properties. For example, all my Demonbuddy stuff is in 2 folder on my desktop, 1 folder called "demonbud" and another called "DB Profiles" so I would have to right click on both of them and go to properties. Then go to Security Tab, Click "advanced", you should get a popup, go to the "owner" tab and click "edit", select Yourself in the list as opposed to the administrator. Check the "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects" . Click Apply (you should get a popup telling you that you've taken ownership). Then click OK or apply on all the windows that poped up during this step. Once again Make sure you did this for all DB folders and files.
Note: I have WIN7 x64 so these steps maybe different for your setup but should follow a very similar path.

3. Go into your DB folder and find the "Compiled assemblies" folder and delete everything out of that folder but leave the folder there, (otherwise you may have to take ownership of it again).

4.Restart your computer.

5. Launch DemonBuddy, you may or may not get a message about not being able to load an assembly once you click start. If you do, just click ok and click start again. you may get a couple errors upon initial load but it should work.

------other notes------
-If you happen to load a plugin, or quit db and start it up again. I found that by simply restarting my computer and launching it again, it will work. For me I have to restart my computer everytime I want to launch DB.

-check your list of running programs for anything that could cause a complication, I personally turn everything off for safe measures.

-Make sure its being 'Run as administrator"

I hope this gets alot of people up and running. If it doesnt leave me some feedback and ill see what i can do
