HDT frame drops #3554

When I play HS with HDT enabled, I can see a lot of frame drops; if I disable the tracker FPS drops stop happening. What can I do to use this cool tool but not having FPS issues?

Actually I have FPS drops too in Hearthstone, but I didn't though it may be related with HDT. :<

Could more information be provided on this to try to debug it? I'd like to know

When do the frames drop? Is it only when cards are being played (log file being written to) or is it every x seconds?
Do you have Nvidia shadowplay/ShareX enabled?
Are the frame drops only micro-stutters, or does it feel like they last longer than ~0.1 seconds?

One thing to try is temporarily disabling windows defender real-time monitoring, as it may scan HS/HDT every time the log file is being managed.

Only when cards are being played
I have Nvidia FPS overlay enabled, other functionalities are enabled but not used (record and stream tools for example)
micro-stutters

Possible workaround from Discord:

for a few months I've been having frame drops down to 20-30 FPS when the HSDT Overlay was on and could never fix it. I went through all the solutions and got help here before and could never solve it. I finally found a workaround by editing the Hearthstone options file and setting my target frame rate to double my monitor and turning vsync off. Hope that helps someone at some point.

Same issue here...frame drops when cards are played :(

The same here. I play HS on old PC (Core 2 Duo 2.93GHz). HS alone works fine, but when I enable HDT - FPS goes down. Answering those question above: 1) Always 2) No 3) It feels like it was 30 fps without HDT and become 20 fps all the time with HDT.

I found a solution from the 2015 year. They said to edit HDT config file and set to 500 or higher. And people were happy - it worked. But in 2018 there is no such an option in config file, and adding this string (500) does nothing. (Was it necessary to remove it?)

@Kookooma which old solution are you talking about?

I think he mentions this: https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/3ik6k4/fix_for_hearthstone_deck_tracker_lag/

I wanted to try it too, as I've lost a game due to HDT lag :(

_Go to %appdata%/HearthStoneDeckTracker and open the Config file. (A note, go to your file explorer, type %appdata% at the top and it'll take you to the directory with the folder in it)

Search for 100. This value is how often per second the app checks for data from Hearthstone's log files. (100 is 100 milliseconds, so 10 times per second) Changing it to a higher value (mine's at 500, so just twice a second) drastically improved my performance._
