heRO-Server Forum

I noticed my computer is running slower than normal.My CPU usage is running insanely high whenever i play hero. When I checked my process i noticed that its taking 65-75% of my CPU and my memory has been increasing... No antivirus, antispyware or other high memory using applications are running,but my usage is hovering at an average of about 90-95% all the time (sometimes,100%) and its not like that before.Im always able to run multiple programs (media player, msn, firefox, java/flash games) while RO is up with a tolerable lag.and now it looks like if i attempt to open another more program, my computer will stop responding and i have to forcely reboot my pc. Does anyone know how to solve this problem or atleast share any idea wtf is going on? if having high cpu usage/horrible amount of lag bad for my computer or could my RAM, processor or any hardware be damaged and would that have been causing the problem. Any kind of help/insights will be appreciated, thanks!

How much RAM do you have in the first place?

RO has always sucked up 100% of my CPU

I only have 256mb of RAM. But i can play heRO just fine before even if there are other programs running (with a 'lil lag) and average CPU usage of about 65%.now it goes 95% (even 100%) everytime i play heRO and just heRO alone.im worried

Yea my guess is it's time for an upgrade in that department. I mean I have 2 GB on my computer and my task manager floats up to about 40% whenever rag is played but that's mostly because it requires a lot of resources to play.

You can still play but lower the resolution. Do Alt+ D and lower the sprite and Texture resolution until you can get an upgrade. It should run smoother but not very appealing to look at

Okay,i'll do that lol.. Thanks

hit alt+ctrl+del once and see what process is eating up all that cpu power in the task manager. I recently had the same problem and i think my 2gig's of ram and duel core cpu should be more than enough to run hero. My prob turned out to be a svchost tied to a network service that had spiraled out of control to the point my internet stopped working and would eventually lock up the whole pc untill it got finished.
