How to uglify your diablo to the max

[sp0rk]

Hey guys. I have been using this settings all along.

Diablo 3 Settings:
Diablo 3 Zoom In!:
In Diablo 3, while in-game and botting, simply press "Z" in your Diablo 3 window to zoom the camera in further, to reduce CPU load of Diablo 3 and help things run smoother.
Graphical Settings:
Open Diablo 3 up and go into Options->Video. Set everything as low as possible, and set it to windowed mode, so your options should be;
Display->Windowed.
Vertical Sync: UNTICKED.
Max foreground FPS: (I have this ticked and set to 35-40).
Max background FPS: (I have this ticked and set to 35-40).
Texture Quality: Low.
Shadow Quality: Off.
Physics: Low
Clutter Density: Off
Anti-Aliasing: UNTICKED.
Low FX: TICKED.
Drag the Diablo 3 window size to make it as small as possible (this will be 800*600). Save/OK your settings.
Advanced Settings:
Now close Diablo 3, and go to your "My Documents" folder, and open the "Diablo 3" folder - in this folder you will see a file called "D3prefs.txt". Edit this WHILE DIABLO IS CLOSED.
Find these settings and change them to what I have listed below - these will make your graphics VERY VERY BAD!
DisplayModeBitDepth "16"
Vsync "0"
Antialiasing "0"
DisableTrilinearFiltering "1"
MipBias "2.000000"
HardwareClass "1"


Got all this from GilesSmith sticky in Demonbuddy Support forum.

Was wondering if there are anything else that i could do to make it ugly to the max?

I got this D3prefs.txt file from some other post on the forum that I can't be bothered to look up.

Just backup your current D3prefs if you want to keep it, and use this one instead. Put it in your Documents\Diablo III\ directory. This d3prefs file will make the game graphics nigh-unplayable.

its recommended max foreground and background fps settings go no lower then 50, so if your having problems because they are lower then 50, then turn them up.

Just out of curiosity, why is this the case?

 

[ekzistenz]

bot recieves commands, low fps makes them slower, bot gets confused, bot starts glitching and giving errors, you get mad at bot for not working properly, come here, make posts that bot sucks, =?? no profit ;d soo keep it high fps

im setting it and running around 25fps tho because im on a laptop with 2 bots and it throttles down all the time because of overheat.
yet when I run single bot with 50fps I reach 650g/h
now im sitting on 550 on both bots

i keep my max fps at 15. and its working normally

how do i keep them zoomed after game restarts ? My bots unzoom after each game.

Does anybody uses zoom to reduce recource usage? I never heard of it (but I remember old advertizing immortal video with the barb in fos) and gonna try it on my monks. Is it detectable (normal player wont play that way all the time)?

Opened task manager.
d3 using between 8 and 16% of cpu.
Zoomed in.
d3 using between 6 and 12% of cpu.
I wonder if zooming in is a function that could be added into a plugin (giles), directly into DB, or YAR.
Also, not super convinced by my little trial. Could just be coincidence.
