Freeze during loading / gameplay

[robust]

This happens randomly, HoN starts using a lot of cpu but the loading progress bar doesn't move. The same problem can also happen during gameplay so that the framerate is really low. After a while both hon and the window manager becomes unresponsive and then the only solution is to go into a virtual terminal and kill Xorg/HoN.

are you running some form of 3D desktop.
you are using ubuntu and by default they enable compiz. Compiz isn't too good with multiple things wanting exclusive access

Nope im not using anything like that, im running a command line install + the awesome window manager. I tried it in fluxbox with the same result btw.

newx() { DISPLAY=:1.0; xinit $* -- :1; }; /path/to/hon.sh


try that

Didn't help. (Used it in a terminal inside Xorg, don't know if that was the right way) I also tried to use xinit to start Xorg with just hon running but if I do that the mouse is not captured when I play so can't use is to troubleshoot the issue :(
