Follow these Six Simple Steps"},"content":{"rendered":"

When <\/span>Blizzard<\/b> announced that it was going to develop a new <\/span>Heroes of the Storm<\/b> (a.k.a <\/span>HotS<\/b>) game, experts predicted it would become a brand name in <\/span>eSports<\/b>. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

That claim holds true today. But some expert gamers are not happy with it. The most common complaints were technical, as many gamers experienced lags while playing, which made them believe that <\/span>HotS<\/b> isn’t working and caused confusion. But don’t worry. Heed these steps:<\/span><\/p>\n

Check System Requirements<\/b><\/h2>\n

Meeting the specs of the game with your system requirements is very important.<\/span><\/p>\n

Minimum System Requirements<\/b><\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Windows OS: <\/b>Windows 10\/8\/7\/Vista\/XP<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Windows OS Type: <\/b>32-Bit<\/span><\/li>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Double Check the Graphics Card<\/b><\/h2>\n

      Why? Experts recommend it. All you need quality visuals and performance\u2014and let’s face it: your un-updated graphics card just doesn’t cut the mustard anymore. Upgrading it is sometimes expensive, but you can update the graphics card without blowing your hard-earned money. Updating it isn’t too difficult. Here’s how:<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Hit <\/span>Windows<\/b> + <\/span>X<\/b>.<\/span><\/li>\n
      2. Open <\/span>Device Manager<\/b>.<\/span><\/li>\n
      3. Expand <\/span>Display Adaptor<\/b>.<\/span><\/li>\n
      4. Right-click your <\/span>Graphics Driver<\/b> and <\/span>Uninstall<\/b> it. (You need to restart your system for the successful completion of un-installation).<\/span><\/li>\n
      5. Now visit your <\/span>Graphics<\/b> vendor\u2019s website.<\/span><\/li>\n
      6. Here you go! Check what’s new. Download it.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

         <\/p>\n

        Reinstalling HotS? YES<\/b><\/h2>\n

        Your choices are sometimes limited to what your system can support, but you have one more option: If you want all the bells and whistles of next-generation game, and you’re up for the challenge, consider reinstalling <\/span>HotS<\/b>. Here’s how:<\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Exit <\/span>Battle.Net<\/b> (if you’ve opened it already) first. Now reopen it.<\/span><\/li>\n
        2. Search <\/span>Heroes of the Storm<\/b> in your game library.<\/span><\/li>\n
        3. Go to <\/span>Options <\/b>and <\/span>Uninstall<\/b> it. (Again, it needs you to restart your system. Restart it).<\/span><\/li>\n
        4. When restarted, open <\/span>File Explorer \u2192 View \u2192 Hidden Items<\/b>.<\/span><\/li>\n
        5. Now delete these folders:
          \n<\/span>C:\\Program Files\\Heroes of the Storm
          \nC:\\Program Files (x86)\\Heroes of the Storm
          \nC:\\Users\\Public\\Games\\Heroes of the Storm
          \nC:\\Users\\USER_NAME\\Games\\Heroes of the Storm
          \nC:\\Users\\Public\\Documents\\Blizzard Entertainment\\Heroes of the Storm
          \nC:\\Users\\USER_NAME\\Documents\\Blizzard Entertainment\\Heroes of the Storm<\/li>\n
        6. Now delete the contents (remember only contents, not folders) of these folders:
          \n<\/span>C:\\Windows\\Temp
          \nC:\\Users\\USER_NAME\\AppData\\Local\\Temp<\/li>\n
        7. Now open Battle.Net. Go to Library and search Heroes of the Storm.<\/li>\n
        8. Reinstall it.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

           <\/p>\n

          Level up Nvidia Control Panel Settings <\/b><\/h2>\n

          Adjust image quality and performance in the <\/span>Nvidia Control Panel<\/b>. Set it to optimum level. Here’s how:<\/span><\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Open <\/span>Nvidia Control Panel<\/b>.<\/span><\/li>\n
          2. Click <\/span>Manage New settings. <\/b>(It shows you 3D configurations.)<\/span><\/li>\n
          3. Click <\/span>Global Settings<\/b>.<\/span><\/li>\n
          4. Now activate <\/span>Anti-Aliasing Mode<\/b> (it improves your image quality and performance takes a hit) and click <\/span>Apply<\/b>.<\/span><\/li>\n
          5. Exit and restart your system.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

             <\/p>\n

            Check Your Computer\u2019s Memory<\/b><\/h2>\n

            Upgrading your <\/span>RAM<\/b> to <\/span>4GB<\/b> (minimum requirement for <\/span>HotS<\/b> is <\/span>2GB<\/b>) also lays a solid base for any other upgrades you might want to heap up. You can also end up some unwanted processes (by <\/span>CPU<\/b> usage) that are eating your <\/span>RAM<\/b>. Here’s how:<\/span><\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Press <\/span>Ctrl+Alt+Delete<\/b> (it opens <\/span>Task Manager<\/b>).<\/span><\/li>\n
            2. Click <\/span>More details \u2192 Processes<\/b>.<\/span><\/li>\n
            3. Now open the <\/span>Memory<\/b> column.<\/span><\/li>\n
            4. End those (by selecting <\/span>End Task<\/b>) processes using most of your system resources.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

               <\/p>\n

              Reset or Automatically Obtain DNS Configuration<\/b><\/h2>\n

              Resetting <\/span>DNS<\/b> Configuration equals smooth and non-stop playing:<\/span><\/p>\n

                \n
              1. Press <\/span>Windows Key<\/b> + <\/span>X<\/b> \u2192 <\/span>Command Prompt<\/b>.<\/span><\/li>\n
              2. Type: <\/span>IPConfig<\/b>\/<\/span>flushdns<\/b> and hit <\/span>Enter<\/b>.<\/span><\/li>\n
              3. Restart your system.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                But if you enable automatic <\/span>DNS<\/b> configurations (as some expert gamers have reported it frequently), it may resolve your lagging issues. Here’s how:<\/span><\/p>\n

                  \n
                1. Go to <\/span>Windows Key<\/b> + <\/span>X \u2192 Control Panel \u2192 Network and Internet | Network and Sharing Center<\/b> \u2192<\/b> Change Adaptor Settings<\/b>.<\/span><\/li>\n
                2. Right-click on the active <\/span>Network Adaptor<\/b> and select <\/span>Properties.<\/b> (Now it opens a new dialogue).<\/span><\/li>\n
                3. Select <\/span>Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP\/IPV4) <\/b>and<\/span> click <\/span>Properties<\/b>.<\/span><\/li>\n
                4. Here you go! Now select Obtain DNS Server Settings Automatically<\/b>.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
