Hello
Any chance that in future u will add possibility for frame rate cap?I play it on Dell laptop 4gb ram ,dual core ,geforce 9300, and after 1hour playing it gets to hot and start laggin every few minutes.

I had same problem with world of warcraft and league of legends but when they added frame rate cap possibility everything started to be ok.

This is not first person shooter so i dont need any high frame rate-i guess i could play it locled at 30fps easily with no problems

-my problem is that most of time i play like 80 or more fps ,then laptot starts overheatin and fps drops to 1-10 for 3seconds which isnt nice

thx

SK does not have an explicit

SK does not have an explicit internal framerate cap. Though due to the limitations of how fast Java can move it seems that way. Though you will find that enabling Vertical Sync under the Options menu will have the same effect as a cap.

If your laptop is in fact overheating when you experience a framerate drop that means your system thermal protections are kicking in and self throttling to prevent the system from cooking itself.

My Dell laptop has even lower

My Dell laptop has even lower specs and it runs fine. To prevent overheating, you should clean out all the dust inside, and make sure the laptop is always on a hard surface.

Dogrock:I guess Vsync will cap it at 60 fps-thats not enough i guess-i need it lower

Tunble:why should be laptop on hard surface?when i play i have it on table on fat books so the part where it is overheatin doesnt touch table ,so its little cooler

Too be honest, a computer

Too be honest, a computer should not be able to overheat unless there is something wrong with the cooling system. Many laptops I've seen seem to have the thermal interface material between the heatsink and the component cake up and loose effectiveness after about three years. Replacing it has done wonders from my experience.

Also could just be a severe case of dust bunnies.
