Why does BA2 crash my Gateway laptop? after playing for 5 minutes my laptop will just turn off.....my laptop does not do this with any other game or program.....I have 1.0.1 installed

Re: BA2 crash problem
Is your laptop overheating? Do you hear the fans running in higher speed?

Re: BA2 crash problem
Haven't you had this issue in the past with BA? Try putting FPSLIMIT in your user.txt file and setting the value to 100. Tweak the value up and down until you find a value where the framerate is acceptable and you are not overheating.

Re: BA2 crash problem
- create a text file in My Documents/My Games/BA2 and name it USER.TXT.
- open the text file and add the line
FPSLIMIT 100
- save the file
- run the game
You can tinker with the value until you find a good balance.

Re: BA2 crash problem
The number needs to go HIGHER to slow it down. So keep increasing it until you find the right value.

Re: BA2 crash problem
If your laptop is old like mine you might also improve things by turning off shadows.
