Any chance these changes are going to help the issue with the game client overheating laptops?
My laptop will accept them. It's only just over 2 years old. I bought a "gaming" laptop at the start of the pandemic. That was a mistake. I have all effects off and graphics on bare minimum and I still have to have a fan blow directly on it in the summer time or it'll shut down. Unless I close the client. Nothing else causes it. I've read it's a fairly common problem and the answer is to under volt it but I have not had time to figure out how to do that.
I miss the browser game days which is why I started the game to begin with.
(I understand why they are gone. I just miss them lol)
Your issue could be related to particular conflicts within your base system settings on that laptop. Keep in mind, when the auto setup runs when you first launch the game, it tries to match the "recommended" settings (which are usually stock default) of your hardware's capacity...or meet it 50%. I will say this, certain aspects of the game can cause your GPU to work harder trying to display various aspects of the game...and one of the biggest issues that I have found while playing on my laptop is that if you have your system laying flat and not propped up, the section of where your GPU is will become incredibly hot, and the heat sink inside your laptop (if it even has one...shocking right?) won't be able to keep up, and the same goes for your fan. Blowing air on it with a fan will not do you any justice as the flow of air IN to regulate your system should be handled by the CPU fan...as well as the outflow of hot air. I would say take apart your laptop's backing, and give it a good cleaning, and for SURE check around ALL ventilation holes, especially around your fan and heat registers, adjust your GPU's power utilizations as well, and switch your system power consumption through its Power Plan to Max Performance.
