    HoN running slower, trying to figure out the cause

    So after a recent update from HoN, it seems to run slower and load longer in my M17x R2. It used to run it great on max settings, but after the update, even in low settings the performance is still poor.
    I tried doing a system restore, and uninstall, didn't fix it. So is there any troubleshooting I can still do, to figure out the cause?

    Up! Is there anything else I can try? Clean install would be the last resort...

    Goto settings, make sure its not using opengl to render instead of directx. It sometines switches during install (happened to me once)

    Make sure CCC has "use application settings" on every post processing option.
