Could you allow lower fps or less gpu requirements? - CatzHoccd - 09-05-2014 12:06 AM

I'm running into heat issues.

Here are my specs:
dxdiag:

opengl extension viewer:

Edit: This 2 shots were not taken while Plaque Inc. was running.

Certainly, this is not a high end machine, however it shouldn't be needed anyway.
Currently i find myself tabbing out of the game every 5-10 minutes just to prevent overheat. (I even tried runing window mode using Speedfan to detect upcomming overheating in the background to figure out crucial points.)

I have not checked actual fps, dunno how i could without falsifying the result (like fraps or so), but i'd gladly drop some ingame frames if that helped the issue, i doubt i need 60. I noticed the lowest ingame setting is 60, god knows why. Having to tab out all the time is not fun and is hindering my experience.

I made a similar thread. I have the same issue(s).
