Hi
I have been struggling for a while now, nearly few months
. But I always thought "next patch will fix it" however I decided to collect my thoughts in one post maybe can help others and myself.
First slowness I noticed was running HB in combat or other bots in PVP areas, especially Ashran. I didnt bother tbh, since I didnt do much PVP.
However I noticed (about 4 patches ago) that there is an issue with FPS. I tried using DX9, using it another PC, but nothing worked.
the most anoying issues started in most recent update (Honorbuddy 2.5.13860.786). Its very slow, in all aspects. When i start it, it takes a longer time than ususal (i disabled few items from HB store, this made it a bit faster but not as before). when I load a questing profile it takes way longer (using 1-100 Questing Profile Pack on Questing bot), then when i press start also it takes way longer than usual to start.
The real problem (which made me write this post), when the toon moves following HB commands it struggles! for example engages with a NPC and starts fight it casts few spells then stops then after 10-15 seconds if not dead it continues! also moving have another issue, the WOW itself hangs and FPS drops to 0 then it comes back 3 seconds later, this repeats every 30-35 seconds
here is my troubleshooting steps I took:
1- deleted/uninstalled HB few times, removed the folder completely
2- I have McAfee AV, I made sure HB is trusted. then I disabled the AV
3- cleared WOW cache
4- ran HB in admin mode (always do actually)
i did all above in one shot or combinations still nothing.
few things that came to my mind, maybe updates that Windows do might have something to do with this slowness. I noticed Java also updated to latest version. here are Windows updates that I think may affect HB:
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2 for Windows 7 x64-based Systems (KB2901983)
(The Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2 is a highly compatible, in-place update to the .NET Framework 4, 4.5 and 4.5.1. By using the .NET Framework 4.5.2 together with the C# or Visual Basic programming languages, you can write Windows Store apps. The .NET Framework 4.5.2 delivers better performance, reliability, and security than previous versions) maybe some enhancemnts of .NET Security have to do something with HB?
and an earlier version of the update (almost this is when the problems started to become unfavorable)
Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5, 4.5.1 and 4.5.2 on Windows 7, Vista, Server 2008, Server 2008 R2 x64 (KB3037581)
Security Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB3045685)
here is a log for one of my toons questing, it was lagging while walking or mounted, when it attacked a NPC it casted 2 spells then stopped 15 seconds then casted few spells to save itself in last breath. of course starting HB and loading the profile and other tasks were all slow.
