Overheat
My PC hasn't crashed just yet, but playing this game for just 10 minutes can have the GPU skyrocket past 150 degrees Fahrenheit. There's screen tearing and loading screens tend to make the game unresponsive for several seconds.

No sort of adjustments to the game options fix these issues aside from screen-tearing with v-sync. No, my PC is not dusty, thanks. On top of that, my PC is made for gaming, and I can run games of much higher-graphical quality without my GPU ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ itself.

Why is a game like this burning up my PC, and how would I go about fixing it?

You could down clock/under volt your GPU using MSI Afterburner or the built in utilities that usually come with Nvidia/AMD drivers. Depending on the GPU you're using you could see a significant improvement.

65c/150f isn't too bad btw.

The game does not have a default cap on frame rate set in the unity engine. Which if vsync is turned off or not working for you for some reason, it can easily generate 300+ FPS which is just an insane load on the GPU/CPU for no reason.

I would add command to "Set Launch Options" or to the end of whatever shortcut you are using.

-targetFPS60

This caps the framerate at 60 regardless of vsync. This should prevent this heat issues.
Finally someone talking sense. :104:
