Nearly every time I play this game my laptop just shuts down on me unexpectedly often right in the middle of really important things and with the latest patch it's happening whenever I try to login.
Laptop is Lenovo Thinkpad T410 and I have Windows 7, and I got the latest version of Java on it.
I tried looking around but didn't find anything about sudden shutdowns anywhere.
And when I say sudden shutdowns I mean I freeze up and my laptop just powers off on me and I have to turn it back on. I don't know why this happens or why it chooses to happen when I'm playing this game.
If I could swear right now I'd do it so fast it would render all profanities used totally meaningless x____x
It sounds like your laptop might be overheating, or there might be something else wrong with your windows setup.
Try double checking that your computer meets all the requirements in this stickied thread.
