Game is making my fans go NUTS

[Horseman]

Making the game great is great... but can we do something about optimization that doesn't require my desktop fans to go absolute nuts?

10700k
RTX3080
32GB RAM
NVME M.2 SSD

NO reason why my system should be getting so hot running this game.

i9-9900k 3080RTX runnign game maxed at 4k and no issue whatsoever with heat and or fans.

The game is by the Devs own admission not optimised and it will be coming (full optimisation pass) closer to release when more content is finalised.

That said it has improved a lot already over the months and years so have patience. Also worth noting Unity is always a bit hungry and poor in this regard so its likely never going to run like butter.

It runs real smooth.. just makes my the fans in my rig kick into high gear.

Honestly, when I play games, I manually put my GPU fan at 90% just for the sake of keeping it cool anyway, having a cheaper brand or version of a certain GPU will unfortunately have a very loud fan, I've been going with MSI twin frozers for about 10 years (let's say about 3 generations so far) and even at 100% it's quieter than most, it does average cost 10% more than the other brands/versions of the same GPU though, but always worth it to me.
Worst case scenario you can just downclock your GPU since it's way overkill for this game anyway.

Heh.. i do have an MSI 3080. Whenever i play games in 4k... sure I hear the fans increase from just idle. As I should, but when playing Last Epoch... they really kick into high gear.

Have you tried setting the game to 60 FPS? Before I did that, they were at 120-180 FPS and heating up my computer.

This would be my advice as well. Enable Vsync and/or limt frames I thnk its an option in settings right?

When its running over 144 fps my card cooks (and so do i). limiting it to 60 helped a bunch.

Same here, even if I cap FPS and reduce graphics setting to very low, it's melting my CPU and GPU. I just hope they will eventually work this thing out. Game is dope, but for the last year or so I just test out the update for few hours and then stop until this is worked on

Somehow nobody mentioned the ultimate advice: Update your drivers.

[Horseman]

Drivers updated, and honestly i don't have an issue with frames, just have the issue with my system getting real hot from this game and this game only.

If your rocking 144 fps (or more) your cards going to be warmer than if you have it limited to 60 fps (and you probably won't even notice). If it runs cooler, less fan noise right?


I have the same issue with high frame rates/temps with valheim (another unity engine game) and I limit frames in that game as well. Went from low mid 80's to high 50's-mid 60s.

Save here with aero 15

Same problem. I tried to limit the fps and turn vsync on. Had the issue with Path of Exile where it helped to limit the fps. It does not work for me in Last Epoch though. There is also a strange bug where i couldn't click on vsync and it turned itself off, everytime i changed something in the graphic settings. Guess i wait until full release and try again.

Just make a fixed fan setting that cools your Gpu and call it LE then use it when you play this game, not hard to rectify this problem is it.
