CPU overheating with latest patch

from Offworld Forums

Ever since the latest update, during games, my Cpu wil break my alarm temp of 65°C. No other games do this and it started with the latest Offworld update. Has anyone else has this issue?

Have you activated V-Sync, that might help.  You shouldn't be able to overheat a PC if the cooling/overclock setup is correct, so you should probably review that situation as well.  This game may not be totally optimized yet, as its early release.

I do have V-Sync on, I am not overclocked, and I upgraded my CPU fan a few months ago. I understand it is unoptimized, I was just checking to see if anyone else had this issue.

It sounds like your cpu fan is not running fast enough.  Did you replace your cooler with a low noise one?

We still have a lot of optimizing left to do.  In the meantime, I'll try to bandaid it with some additional user options.  I'll add a Frame Limiter dropdown with the choices (100FPS (default), 60FPS, 30FPS, V-Sync 1 Interval, V-Sync 2 Interval).  Hopefully, one of those will help limit your resource consumption.
