Game runs really hot, anybody else notice?

[Rapptture]

Got my gpu up to 84c, and had fan at 70%, nothing else has had temps or fan up that high. Anybody else notice how hot this game runs? Only noticed because computer was getting louder then I have ever heard it before, with a pretty big library I've never had another game get my gpu that hot.

you need to limit the fps somehow because you're probable running at 200fps. download some software that displays the fps.

Good idea, didn't even think about that. I locked it at 40fps since it isnt a real action heavy game, seemed to work out much better, sits at 69c 47% fan speed now, thats normal for me, good lookin out, thanks again. No idea what it was running at previous, I just used inspector to lock it at 40.

I have the same problem. It was causing my laptop to crash.

You mentioned Inspector for nVidia. I used RadeonPro for my ATI card.

I fixed it BUT I had to change the directory the game was installed in. RadeonPro doesn't work if the directory had a "!" symbol in it, so I changed \Stick it to The Man!\ to \Stick it to The Man\ and it started working. FPS limited to 35.

Oh my God, thank you for this. I've been having this problem not only with Stick It To The Man but with a number of games that were running with a really high FPS. System locks all over the place. RadeonPro should solve the problem.

Bonus points for you!

If you are on an nVidia GPU, you should use the CP and select "Adaptive Vsync" as a global setting for ALL your games. Really makes life easier I tell ya!

No worries. I tried registering and reporting it in RadeonPro's bug forum a month ago but my account there was waiting to be "authorised by admin" before I could post. It's one month later now and I still can't post.

It doesn't seem like this bug has been reported before, though admittedly I only gave the bug report forum a very cursory overview.

Wow! This topic solved problem! Thanks guys!

Haha nice. I couldn't figure out why my computer kept making a weird whining noise when I ran the game. I guess it was just overheating my video card. I wasn't expecting that since its a relatively old game and its a pretty new card.

I turned on vsync for the game in the nvidia control panel. I guess I should look into software to cap the frame rate, but vsync seems to solve the problem anyway.
