Hero Wars — What got you back into gaming this year?

Hoping someone can sanity-check my reasoning before I commit to it. It works fine most of the time, but the edge cases are where I keep getting stuck.

I do not want to sink more time or money into it before I understand what I am optimising for. Feel free to tell me I have missed something obvious.

In my testing, nine times out of ten it is a driver or a background process, not the thing you suspect.

Report back once you have tried it.

Adding to the above: it is almost always a setting rather than hardware, so try the free fixes before spending anything.

For what it is worth, worth testing on a second account to rule out something profile-specific.

That fixed it for me, at least.

Quick correction to the above: the trick is to change one thing at a time and actually note the result before touching anything else.

Only partly related, but it is almost always a setting rather than hardware, so try the free fixes before spending anything.

Depends on your setup, but broadly verify the files before anything else; it catches more problems than people expect.

Good luck, it is a common snag.
