Not just you bud, on the other forum a poster's wife's laptop had issues with Added heat at I17, another guy posted his GPU is running 10 degrees higher and I get 15 minutes on game before it gets so hot it shuts my laptop down.
A buddy who has a few accounts only has one out of Three laptops still playing since I17.
There is No "Optional" to UM on the game as i have seen even in Safe Mode.
Support had me load up a bunch of stuff, then Uninstall stuff from that, had me run Four testing systems and all they could come back with after I Passed was my laptop was running hot, No S***!, yes after I17 went live yes I started running hot.

It's about the 6th, release for it "ready or not here I come", it's about wanting to "Play" with a new graphics engine and Not care about the Paying players but Pat us on the back look how pretty we made it look...........for those that can Still play.
Four years I did not have a problem but for when AE issue killed my VG off and they paid me inf to replace it rather then them actually having to Fix it.
So yes, while you are first reporting this on this posting, it was reported all Through Test and since I17 went live, The promissed "UM is Optional and will not effect normal game play" did not happen, it's just more noticable with and on laptop players.

I think the Dev's Expect paying players Will go Buy new systems to continue to play the game since they moved the game Away from them and their current equipment, ain't happening here. I canceled my account, not paying a monthly service for 15 minutes at a time play and further Damage to my system nor am I going to pay another 2K so I can continue to pay them.

To make it clear and simple they have Forced UM on us and Have changed the game, as it was and they sent it Live anyway = "normal game play" is now With the "optional UM".

Hell, you can tell by all the TF's and zones bugging now this was pushed thru far to fast and "checks" must have been Skipped or they said after seeing they were Failing push it thru Anyway, we want it out for the 6th broke or not.

Which is just Bad Business and causes Paying customers to leave.

I got the same problem, I have done everything to include spraying the hell out of every opening to getting the best new fan table I could find, to Trying to open everything up to actually Eyeball the fan and heatsink thing everyone is talking about. 30 odd screws later I still did not get to it and am Afraid of breaking anything that is left to open it further. Best Buy will Not do it and the comp shop I got it from wants me to pay $150.00 and Leave it with them for over a week......I Got Work to do With the comp so I can't.

I17 Came with a new higher stress it would seem that is causing Added heat which is Not optional, you, me, the guy talking about his wife's laptop, (I'm glad for them just cleaning sorted it for them) and a bud on defi uses 3 laptops, of which he reports only 1 still works for him since I17, he did not give me any info on what his issue is with the other 2 tho.

I just hate when they advert: "optional" and will Not effect normal game play and then all the sudden ppl start having issues at the same Moment the new system starts some ppl come out Insisting "it's your system only, because I don't have a problem", "you're broke, not the game" or "you're a liar", this last Not my favorite.
Thanks for coming forward and posting this bud...........that's 3 of us now.

I'm an unappreciative dick?.............Oh Wait, I Am. I have Thanked ppl on this forum for posting Helpful things = man am I a Dick!

I will not bother with you anymore, I know your type, would piss themselves if had to Face someone in RL and say half what you have. I Will say this I Am an Unappreciative Dick to some punk that has called me a liar more then once. I have said more then a few times tests I've run and the names of the ones I remember then you say I Did Not run them or "supposedly" bs of yours, That's calling somone a Liar, calling Me a Liar, Appreciate you?, you have to have Honor to be something to be appreciated boy.

When do you "play" the game btw? over 4,500 posts saying nothing worth anyones time yet as I've seen.

Kos, that is what I have been trying to say but lacked how to say it, I17 is Not acting the same way on my laptop as I16 did.

I16 all was cool, ran for 48 hours at a time (double xp, a lot of coffe and pizza delivery).
I16, ran 4 to 6 hours the night before I17, since I17 = As Soon as I hit the Updater to load the game my fan starts to go nuts and at full power, "Something" is going on at the start long before Hit any options of UM or No UM.
Tnx Kos, u said it better then I

Tnx, still not giving up and trying all checks and options I can, I know there was some "questionable things" said about ATI xpress 200's being great and then finding they leftout some of the goods but the thing was I Was running fine the night before then all this started up with me loading up I17

Dude this is the 2nd time you have almost outright called me a Liar, I listed some of the tests support had me load and run, and you still said I did Not do it then either, what Is you're problem?

I am Not a computer person, so I just pulled the names starlite and aquamark out of my *** and they Just happen to be the names of tests?


As a Note, I was Not the only one to report a Laptop overheating problem with I17, they had to clean their heatsink and fan and got it running, My situation it did Not fix but it Shows I17 caused a High heat problem for at least 2 laptop players.
Will you just go away already as you have Nothing of use to say in this case and act as if you're getting Paid to dispute any complaints.

Yes, I was on test, all thru Trying to be on test rather I reported my problems and were Ignored, then during the Pocket D DEV patting themselves on the back I reported it to them in person, to be told that was the first time they ever heard of it.

I had it checkout at best buy, I got a new fan table, I can "feel" the air being sucked in and feel it being blown out the back. I got a can of Dynex compressed gas duster and blew thru the vents, even felt a flow coming from the out vent while doing it.

I've had the comp on all day doing my stuff, checking testing sites, running tests, checking the heat which 'just' warm to the touch and then try the game, it's when I load the game the fans go nuts and run at full blast as it heats up till shutdown.

I would like to know where I can open it up to get a direct "look" at the fans but I do not seem to have a direct panel for that, any advice on how I do this?

You know dude, I have been gone for what seems to be hours running tests with HP, support and everybody n their brother and come back and u are Still at it.

This attitude that "Hey my stuff works so you are a liar or it's your fault" stuff is getting out of hand, just because Your system is not having a problem does not mean others aren't, you're like those ppl that said the world was flat and wanted to kill those that did not agree. You and this 'prove it' stuff, prove you ain't 8 or just have a stick up your backside today.
My "Proof" is it did not overheat before they loaded I17 a couple hours later. My "Proof" is that I'm passing All testing and am not overheating anywhere else UNTIL I load the game. Grow up or go away until you have Helpful Advice and not just this fire you have against anyone saying they are having a problem with your sweetheart.

NNOOOOOO!!!!
I loved it and sent u a pm chuckle. maybe it was lost as u were watching ur pet die?

Geez are you just in a bad mood and want to piss on everyone today and play sir-know-it-all?

Cool Your Ambient temperature bud.

I was not going to even bother reading or replying to whatever you had pulled from your backside since you as much as called me a liar but since I have. let me make it clear for you, I played the game for 8 hours the night Before I17, no overheating as with the 48 hours in a row I played before on some weekends. Then I17 and my fan goes nuts, laptop overheats and shut off at about 15 minutes. No Other place has this effect = until I return to loading the game up.

Now, since I had the "in your own words Imcompient Best Buy Geeks" check my system and there was no problem, My vents and fan Are Clean, all Tests Support sent me to do came up good = can you with all your wisdom of all things tell me what Magical thing happen to my comp at the same time I17 came out that caused my overheating that Only happens when I load the game? BTW while at Aqua with all those very nice high end graphics set at highest setting my system did not overheat.

Really mister wizard I would love to know where this stalker overheating problem hides when coh is not on and why it only showed up when I17 hit.

Cool your jets dude or don't read forums, or at least don't Bother writing on them until you're in a better and Helpful mood.

It Only overheats when running coh, it does not overheat running anything else, and I'm not the only one saying something about this or players fans running non-stop since I17 so if you have a problem with this issue or my writing about it, which I thought that was what the forums were for = don't read it, seems to me to be a stupid idea to come to Forums and cry ppl are Writing on them, go look at a blank wall somewhere.
Your comment of "you've supposedly" impplies you are calling me a liar, hence my veiw of you or anything you have to say.

Yes, they could advertise it as the Elete game where only players with Top of the line new equipment are allowed in to play!..........until they move the game out of their reach also After they pay for it.
