I've posted this before in the GD forum but apparantly that's not the right forum. ( http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?t=381370 )
Can't see a good prefix for this post so just used graphics.

I'm getting freezes since the new patch. I'm not talking about low framerate or anything my GPU might have to do with. I'm talking about freezes that occur whenever something happens(a fight or a spell cast or sometimes even an auto attack/creep spawn). I checked windows task manager, which tells me HoN uses way more CPU than it used to before. The CPU usage fluctuates massively between 30 - 100 %. The RAM usage seems fine. HoN is the only application I get this with. I tried setting HoN as high priority in the task manager, but alas, it doesn't make a difference!

I tried rebooting the game / my pc, and it went rather smooth the first ~5minutes of a new game but after that it just got worse and worse.

Problem occurs since the new patch, before the patch I never had problems with this whatsoever.

I run HoN with all details on low, resolution is 800x600 60hz. I run HoN in exclusive mode and without frame queueing. I tried altering these settings but the problem remains there.

My system: AMD Athlon dual core 2,1ghz
4GB ram
64bit OS (windows 7)
gpu is nvidia 8200M

Hope you can help!

Same problem here, this is happening randomly since the new patch. Sometimes my screen is freezing between 1 to 5 seconds. And not only in fights, really randomly, even if i am just walking.

I checked my connection, it's not the problem (launched a ping -t on the google fr domain during a game -> highest ping was 38 ms ...).

My config is :
Windows 7 64bits
4GB RAM
QuadCore I5 intel
GPU ATI 5850
SSD samsung 830

I just formated my pc recently to included my SSD and hon was running perfectly until the last patch.

It is quite anoying, if you can fix that!

This isn't the right forum either, it's better for Tech Support
