Hero Wars — Best phones for gaming without overheating

Been chewing on this for a while, so I figured I would ask here. What confuses me is that it behaves differently depending on the order I do things in.

    Curious whether that matches what everyone else is seeing.

    Not the answer you want, but verify the files before anything else; it catches more problems than people expect.

    Adding to the above: nine times out of ten it is a driver or a background process, not the thing you suspect.

    For what it is worth, if it only happens in one mode, that narrows it down considerably.

    Worth checking first: do the cheap diagnostic first — it costs nothing and rules out half the causes.

    Let us know which part worked.

    Same boat here. temperature is the usual culprit when performance degrades over a session.

    Let us know which part worked.

    Adding to the above: give it a clean reinstall before assuming the hardware is at fault.

    For what it is worth, the wiki number is theoretical; real results are always a bit lower.

    Worth a shot before anything drastic.

    Adding to the above: this changed for me after the last patch, so older threads may steer you wrong.

    Only partly related, but the trick is to change one thing at a time and actually note the result before touching anything else.

    Speaking as someone who got it wrong initially, check whether an overlay is running before blaming the game itself.

    Counterpoint: you get most of the benefit from the first adjustment; everything after that is marginal.

    Depends on your setup, but broadly the averages hide the problem; look at the one percent lows instead.
