Up untill yesterday everything with my pc was working just fine. I had about 20-30 % cpu usage with 6 wow clients up including honorbuddy + some other light programs. Then i had a graphics error (small fancy square's all over my screen) which resulted in me having to reboot the pc, but after this something was wrong with wow and honorbuddy, with only 4 clients the cpu useage is around now around 20-30 % ish , but right as i attach honorbuddy the cpu usage rises to extreme levels. Namely 65-75 %. Some of the wow clients go to about 20 % cpu usage alone, and some of the honorbuddy clients reach 10 % each as well, terminating them and restarting does not seem to fix the cpu usage at all, and im frankly clueless to how i could improve this. And i cant see the logic behind honorbuddy magically making everything use twice the ammount of power. I downloaded a fresh install of wow and honorbuddy, but the problem still remained. So im basically just looking for idea's on how i can "semi fix" it untill i get my graphic card replaced, as googleing didnt serve me well this time :> I've atached a picture showing the process graph etc.. though i doubt it will be of much use
Same Problem here .. also only since yesterday ! When running HB + WoW in Background there are lag problems (<15fps) When running in Forderground there is no Problem (>60fps)
I can't say the same is happening to me, but I do notice lag spikes randomly. I always attributed it to WoW and its pre/post patch maintenance and such. I usually run about 30-60fps depending on where I am and what I'm doing. When lag spikes hit, I bog down to 1-2fps, and then WoW and HB lock up completely and I end up having to use Task Manager to end them both. Once, when it happened, I sat for 20 minutes before they both unlocked themselves and continued to function. I was just curious to see if they would unlock.
Big picture, but yeah... http://i.imgur.com/hfLTM.jpg Running with background FPS of max 8 (since I tend to play SC2 while botting) on the small screen. Without limited background FPS, I'm around 100fps on each screen. No lag what so ever.
