It's only been in the past month that FH has started doing this.
FeralHeart overheats my laptop almost every time I open it. I'll be derping around in the public maps like I usually do, and about ten minutes in, my laptop will suddenly shut itself off. I touch the bottom of my laptop, where the air blows out from the fan, and it's scalding hot. The fan seems to work fine, though. It whirrs and blows air just like it should.
My laptop has no working battery. I just plug it into the wall. It's also getting to be a little old by computer standards (two and a half years, I believe).
I also run FH on Direct3D9, which I hear is supposed to reduce the quality of the graphics (or something like that) to make FH run more smoothly for computers that can't do too much heavy-lifting.
Anything helps. Thank you for reading.
