Hey,

Over the last few days hon seems to be lagging so badly that it has become unplayable. Its really the only again i play apart from minecraft now. So i uninstalled hon and reinstalled it changed from dx9 to opengl which was a possible fix but nothing has change it seems to have gotten worse. I thought it might have been FPS issues but i was sitting at 125 the whole game.

I was monitoring my memory usage while playing and it was staying at 100%. I have 4gb RAM and only background programs i run are ts, xfire, steam.

I've done malware, spyware, virus and rootkit checks and nothing has been found.

Is there any maintainence programs i can use to test/clean the RAM or have any suggestions on what i can do to try and fix this issue. I run windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

not sure if that's normal for the game but sounds like it could be memory leaking, I don't play HoN so I don't know if a patch has came out recently..

I'd run memtest a few times just to confirm the error wasn't a one off sort of thing.

RUN YOUR GAME WITH 1 STICK OF RAM (assuming 2gb sticks)

If the problem persists, try the other stick.

Replace the dud stick.

I have started having problems again. I tried using only 1 stick of RAM changed slots etc etc and nothing changed. Do you think it could be the board? Or should i just bite the bullet and get some new RAM
