Low FPS after 2.X

[hirolau]

As topic states, very low fps in HoN after 2.0. Prior to 2.0 and any other game run fine even with high settings.

I ran everything at max in HoN prior to 2.0, now i get less than 10 fps at lowest settings and lower resolution.


Please give both ping and fps if your problem is lag related:

Ping is fine, 50-60 ms.
FPS lobby: 95-105
FPS pool: 20-25
FPS in jungle with no heroes: 40, but 20 if i just have been looking at a hero
FPS in fights: 10

A detailed explanation of what you have tried:

I have tried reinstalling the game and get newest drivers. The thing is that it seems like reinstalling the game make the fps better for a few minutes, same goes for altering graphics options. It makes the game more playable a few minutes.


The system specs of the computer you are trying to run HoN on, and the relevant software running on it: Windows OS version and word length (32 or 64 bit), firewall software, and antivirus software.

Win7, 64-bit. Intel I5, 4 gigs of ram. Nvidia Gt335m Optimus.


How long you have been experiencing the issue:

All versions after 2.0

You must not be using any mods
I am not.

ty in advance!

edit: attached file is output from msinfo32..
edit2: Just thought of checking the fps in practice mode. Never under 50 fps and no lag at all, even with high settings. Too bad practice mode is not that fun, in the long run.

Make sure your direct X and drivers are fully up to date (new nvidia drivers for your card out 5 days ago). You also seem to be getting some Long server frames (lag issues) try disabling your firewall before a game.

ty very much.

I have no firewall on my computer, but my cable modem has an built in hardware firewall. I do not think I am unable to turn it of. Any specific setting features that could cause any trouble?

As for the drivers I am using 266.58, but i noticed now that I have dx11 installed, but my card only supports 10.1. Could this cause any problem?

Again, I first experienced this with the new minimap and 2.x, how is the situation there? I heard there was some optimization to be done, has this been implemented yet?

Edit:

1. Many share the Internet in this family, I cant guarantee that no other person was not downloading anything during the game where i got my console.log
2. I have the same GPU as Odeel, and the same problem. I have Nvidia Optimus, maybe that is causing a problem? I really suspect there is something buggy with the game/driver causing it to run in an non-optimal way. It almost feels like it is still running on the Intel Grapics.

Hmm, this might be solved now.

I did two things at the same time. One, or both fixed the problem.

1. Upgraded to 2.0.11
2. Downgraded my Intel drivers.

All other games run just fine, but i might be that hon 2.x had trouble starting the nvidia GPU, and that the game somehow was limited to the Intel drivers.
