Killed my PC

[Mr Black]

Overheated my computer after 168 people worth of stuff (see my screenshots, I do have save files if you want to tell me how to get them to you devs) catching fire and 3 hours of play.
Fun Game otherwise, I knew my pc was overheating at about 2 hours and just let it happen.
Also, playing the sandbox mode the peace timer doesnt go away once the bar is full. Either get rid of it after it is full, or have it grow a timer to show the next time enemies will come.
Thank you :)

bro killed his PC for some fake in-game gold 💀

All kidding aside: You can probably cap the FPS in your GPU driver settings to keep it from overheating. I did that and now my PC is completely silent when playing.

People who say you need more than 60 FPS are wrong.

I wonder why it's even default to whatever it is.

I guess because Unity defaults to uncapped fps, which is pretty good for many games. E.g. for CS2 you usually want as many fps as possible to have less latency (from rendering to display) (but you actually also want fps stability, so a fps cap might be good). For Stronghold this is probably too much, as you don't need the low latency.

do you know how to uncap

[Sunday Driver]

I've heard of old games causing graphics cards to heat up when they cause a bajillion frames per second to get generated when there's no vsync or frame cap. It's a niche oddity I've never had happen personally but I've heard others talk of it when playing their back catalogue on comparatively beefy modern PCs.

It is uncapped by default. If you ever changed the setting, you gotta change it back. I only know how to do it for Nvidia.

Open up the Nvidia Control Panel, select "3D Settings" or something like that (mines in German, so idk), then look for "max. frequency" or something. I would recommend to do it for an app to app basis, which is possible in the other tab at the top "Program configuration". Maybe you have to add your game of choice there.

Just click the vsync option in the game and it will limit the frames to your monitors refresh rate. Simple

Maybe it's just for me but ingame vsync doesn't seem to work.
