My computer heats up faster than normal when I play Creeper World. Is there a problem? ???

Echo51

No, its quite normal becuase creeper world can became a intensive game.


on the bad maps, my laptop will reach up to 80C ;)

I think there are many post about this in the forum , but they might be abit hard to find =P
( maybe someone will post an link to much info about it )

But try this :

Dont play it in fullscreen mode , change the window size to make it fit your screen .
Change some settings for the game .
Close other things that you dont need running .
PLZ THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU CALL YOUR TOPIC ! It will make the search work better =)

I don't play with full screen mode because it slows down my computer. I play with the 'set window size now' in the options menu. I try to keep creeper world the only window open.

Creeper World is CPU and graphics intensive. It will heat up your computer.

Thanks, that is REALLY nice to know!  ;D

But, it still heats up my computer... :(

But it's okay now that I know! :)

Most games that actually *use* the CPU and GPU will heat it up... think Creeper world is bad? try Furmark :D

Yeah, this will go for a lot of games. Nothing will use all of your processing power better than a graphically intensive game. Finally your pc isn't doing nothing but waiting for some user input. ;D Don't worry though; a good computer is designed for this and has a sufficient cooling system.

Uh... the computer is warm already, and I haven't even played Creeper world... :-\ and I don't feel any fans or any air sucking... :-\

Echo51

How warm? 50c is a normal idle temp

heres a tip, so be thankful, as net failed on last post

open your pc tower up

only do this if your outta warranty, dont have kids or cats

it'll increase air flow, also, clean the fans, careful with the fan on the MB, dont touch the electronics or the static on your body may short it out

i would attach the picture, but it keeps failing the connection, wheres that know it sister when you need one

Echo51

Brainwaves, touch the tower's edges before messing around inside it to get rid of that static
