i've been having a problem with my honorbuddy for 2 weeks and still no solution has been brought up. When it goes into combat, on any profile, i get tremendous lag spikes. i go from 65fps to 10 then back to 60 then down to 5. I have re installed Honorbuddy twice, updated all my drivers and my pc, updated wow, turned framelock off, and i run wow on the lowest setting possible. This didnt start happening till i updated my honorbuddy, now it happens on every profile on any buddy( IE questingbot, bg buddy) Please help me, once again here are my logs
I doubt it's HB's problem because you're the only one with this problem. What programs are running on your slow computer? You have any torrents downloading or anything? What's your computer specs?
WINDOWS 7 solution:: CTRL-ALT-DELETE click on TASK MANAGER Click on the PROCESSES tab Scroll ALL the way down to wow.exe RIGHT CLICK on wow.exe Mouse over SET PRIORITY And click on REAL TIME (it may default you to High and thats fine) Done!
I have a Toshiba Satellite L675. It was running fine until the update, with chrome open and me web browsing, there were no problems. Thanks Xcure ill try that
hummz do you have problem with other online games? and a computer for like $623 isnt that too little even for wow? By bob - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Toshiba Satellite L675-S7108 17.3-Inch LED Laptop (Grey) (Personal Computers) I bought this computer about 2 weeks ago. I was very impressed with the laptop itself. I immediately had an issue with the lan driver, my pc would log on and off over and over again on its own. If you bought one and have the same problem, go to realtek.com and download the rtl8188ce driver update, download and install. It is not so much a computer issue as it is a driver issue. Once i completed this task, the computer began performing far above my expectations. It is very fast, and comes up from cold boot 10x faster than my old laptop could. All in all, I am very happy with the pc. I would like to add that the customer support I recieved from Toshiba while fixing my lan issue was outstanding.
Sounds like it could just be a coincidence to underlying problems with your laptop. First, do the lag spikes happen when playing manually and HB is closed? If so, your issue most definitely lies within the running temperature of your CPU/GPU. Try disassembling your laptop and cleaning the dust off of the heat sink, which usually sits in front of the fan that blows air out of one of the sides of your laptop. I too have a toshiba satellite and this was my exact issue a couple days ago. After cleaning a 3 inch long, 1cm thick strip of dust and dirt away from my heat sink, all lag spikes ceased immediately. Even if the lag does not happen without HB running, I still highly recommend doing this, especially since you are using a laptop.. laptops get extremely hot. Check out a program called Core Temp, as it will outline all related information for all of your cores. You should be running between 50-65C in most gaming situations. If you are around 70-80 without much stress (not in a 40 man raid), you definitely need to clean your heat sink. If it is just HB causing this issue, try running game booster.. I know this program doesn't do much you can't do yourself, but it may disable something you have overlooked, that is causing the issue. Clean your registry.. there are tons of registry cleaners out there. Do a spyware/malware scan. I recommend Ad-Aware and SpyBot S&D.
Sounds like a laptop issue and not HB/Windows/Background Applications (unless you have some AntiVirus doing scans repeatedly... turn it off just incase). However, to determine if this is a laptop issue... Download a temperature monitor for your CPU & GPU- verify that your laptop is running cool... if its peaking on TEMP then your CPU/GPU are probably underclocking themselves to cool down. This is a known laptop "feature"... I had the same issue occur on my Alienware M15x, in which I had to download a utility to disable underclocking (which of course has the potential of damaging the component). So, if you are really dead set on playing or botting on this laptop- I recommend you either open it up and clean up the heatsink and CPU/GPU fan units then replace the thermal paste or download RivaTuner and disable the underclocking feature. This will at least buy you another few months... but you'll still probably need to purchase a new laptop/puter in the near future.
WoW itself requires very little system resources to run- so a $623 laptop these days should be more than enough to run WoW. Especially at low settings...crap my MacBook Air runs WoW @ low settings and its more than playable. Also, the cost of a computer does not determine its capability- realistically to play WoW you do not need anywhere near the best components...
