GPU heating up alot.

Does anyone have an issue with this game making your GPU go over 80C?

The game offers various options to reduce GPU load (like shadows and other effects being reduced) to prevent taxing it too heavily. But it isn't too hard on the GPU usually - what system are you running?

Hello,

I'm running the game on Windows 10 64bit, Intel Core i7 7700K @ 4.20GHz, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 SC 8gb with 32gb of ram.

Turning shadows off will reduce the temps, but I still get to 70c+. Which is weird because I played more graphically intense games with lower temps.

We are optimizing some wasteful GPU processes for a future patch but this still seems unusual. I suspect another factor in this having to do with Unity or some combionation of drivers and our game.

I did have a same issue with other unity games like Project Warlock. If I cap the game at 30 fps seem to drop the temp little below 70c.

Having similar issues too. This game stresses my PC more than demanding games like Control, Doom Eternal, Metro Exodus etc do.
Running an RTX 2070 with latest stable drivers.

This has been an ongoing issue, but appears more related to the Unity Engine than any particular game.

I have seen this occur across multiple Unity-based games as of late.

[primetide_dev]

It is entirely a Unity issue we are trying to work around.

Same issue here. I have Intel i5 and RTX2070 super.

Glad it's not just me suffering. haha

There is a free download app that let's you monitor your system called Speccy. It gives you a lot of info on your system. I mainly use it to monitor the temperature of my various PC components, but it gives a lot more info than just temperature. Maybe by running and checking Speccy you can gain some insight into what your issue might be? Just my 2 cents worth. Good luck.

How do you think I know the game is running so hot.

just adding that i also have this problem, and it occurs with other Unity games such as Gloomhaven. I've read it also occurs with Panzer Corp 2.

it's been a problem with Unity since version 2.0.

supposedly, Unity "fixed" the issue over a year ago, but the fix is buried in the manual somewhere and easy to overlook.

Devs should check with their unity rep to find out more about the optimization routines they have added to the engine. At least, that was what I got out of the Dev thread on unity about these very issues, though that was some time ago. even tiny little indie games can experience this.

Going into Nvidia Control Panel->Programs and setting MAX FPS for Fantasy General 2 to a low setting like 20 or 30 fps has helped a lot.

[primetide_dev]

you can also cap the fps rate in the game
