I solved this by following the instructions from the 'Sound issue'-thread:

Those experiencing FPS drops should type in the following command in the console (CTRL + F8 or CTRL + `) at the beginning of a game: setlibrarysfml.

This is BS. another issue with MAC.. this is really pissing me off. wouldn't surprise me if they took another 5months to fix this. (not that the sound issue is fully fixed on mac)

Completely agree, have same problem. Running Mac OS Lion, soon as patch was done my FPS dropped noticeably, thought it was just lag but it comes more clear to me that this is yet another mac issue waiting to be put aside as S2 doesn't really care about it's mac users. Never seen an post on actual game with the words "mac" or "users" on it, and if there is, its brief.

I'm on a MacBook, and I've got this problem too.

I've got a little delay in the menu, and as soon as i join a game it feels like i lagg like hell.
Though somehow when i closed the game earlier, and then reconnected, it stopped.

This game is a joke for mac users.

So it that because this problem don't cause to window user so S2 dont care about it right?

I guess because the vast majority of HoN plays are Windows based, S2 are rightly putting more work into maintaining that platform. Make's good business sense.

What isn't great is their infrastructure in dealing with bugs and making the whole of their member base feeling like nothing is being done about them. A simple reply, noting that the bug has been noticed would be a simple step to counter that. Implementing a real bug tracking tool would be even better. Not making their Mac users feel like second class HoN "citizens" would be MUCH appreciated ¬¬

7fps, WTH!

After game starts, kill HoN, restart, and reconnect, that works for me.

Same here, running iMac.

After joining every game, I have to reconnect into the game just to kill the fps drop. Kinda annoying, especially to add that the game crashes after an hour or so of continuous gaming.

Guess I should just grab a Windows 7 OS and BootCamp my Mac. But then that's kinda stupid since I have no other use for BootCamp.

:(

I must restart twice in the beginning of the game otherwise its unplayable. After that I have no problems... except for half the time the team wont pause and ill be under farmed.

can we have a ETA for the fix please? Doesn't look like a complex fix if a command can fix this.

S2 never officially confirmed the sound bug on mac and it existed for 6 months so I doubt they will confirm this one.

i have the same problem its ****ed, will they fix it?

Scarlot

03-27-2012, 06:12 PM

One way to go around it is to disconnect from the game and to simply reconnect again.
Seems like a 2nd loading of the game fixes it. Works every time for me.

It just happened to me, had to restart hon for it to work. **** you s2.

They did confirm it, just a long long time after the bug was confirmed by many Mac users.

Like 6 months after

For those of you getting really bad frame rates, if you disable the sound/music via the options screen, restart HoN and play without sound what is your frame rate like then? I'm trying to determine if this issue is caused from the SFML library or not.

WHATABOSS

03-27-2012, 09:51 PM

@JamesTown, the fps goes back to normal if i disable sound and restart

Jaebom

03-28-2012, 02:59 AM

Doesn't work for me.I still get bad fps =(

Hebus

03-28-2012, 07:36 AM

Those experiencing FPS drops should type in the following command in the console (CTRL + F8 or CTRL + `) at the beginning of a game: setlibrarysfml.

This line solved my problem :)

(Macbook pro 2008 os Lion)

purjo

03-28-2012, 11:36 AM

I tried the reboot thing, if sound is off when I start HoN I have no lag in game, if I turn sound on during a game the lag does not come back so this is how I do be able to play.

catchh

03-28-2012, 09:09 PM

I just tried to play and its so slow that I can't even click around or do anything… this is just awful. Please fix soon...

Verified as well. Has to be done each time you join a game.

Jaebom

03-29-2012, 06:49 PM

Doesn't necessarily work for me since nothing changed last time i did it. Now i have to dc and reconnect every time for each game. please fix soon!!

This works for me. I changed resolution from 1920x1080 to 1680 x 1050, cause otherwise i could not open console via fn+ctrl+F8 Takes about 20 seconds to reload and in 1 out of 5 games i get dc'ed. Then everything works fine, but i have to go trough it every game.

I use a mid 2011 i5 with Lion 10.7.3

Zigh

come on ! any news?

Jaebom

04-03-2012, 03:26 PM

S2, any updates on when we are getting a fix for the lag? I don't mind the sound issues but i do mind having to reconnect every game in order to play normally

Scarlot

04-05-2012, 03:54 PM

A noticed a much quicker solution, that worked for me, was to simply open up the console (fn+ctrl+F8) and just type "reconnect".
This will disconnect and reconnect you to the server. Works like a charm everytime, and are quicker then setlibrarysfml.
Hate that my master volume and brightness are being set to default values though, and I have to change it to my personal preferences.

i think there's a command like "-setsave" or just "setsave" that you put before the command and it'll keep it everytime you restart hon (i did it to keep the old shop but i can't remember what it was)

After the latest patch my performance have dropped from pretty good to terrible. My framerate is about 15fps with all the settings on low.
I've tried to reinstall HoN, tweak my settings and restarting my computer, but nothing works.

I could not see any other threads about this, so don't know if it's just my computer that's acting up or if it's a real problem.

Mac OS X Lion @ iMac 27" 2.8Ghz i7, 8Gb RAM, hd4850

Even thou i can't play HON because i have the same system that you use but apparently you can play the game ! And i can't play it because S2 told me my computer have a sound problem that won't let the game run naturally :\ . I checked the game just now to see if they fixed in which they didn't, my frame rate dropped soo bad to the lvl of being unplayable at all ! Old Problem + New problem = Bad technical support team.

Sry S2 but the truth hurts me more than it hurts you ! </3
