Thanks for updating us David, best of luck with your GPU! :O

One thing I'd say is make sure you've got VSync on, if you've not that could cause the game to render out more frames than necessary and may cause the aforementioned overheating.

Those damn dirty occuli. Thanks for the report I'll mark it for review when/if we can spare the code time :)

Thanks I'll mark this as a backlog issue for us to investigate if/when we can.

We'll be looking to push the patch live this week, if not then we'll be live next week at the latest which should solve your initial issue.

I wonder if you would be kind enough to raise a separate issue on the topic of being unable to access DLC while offline in the GOG Version. Definitely shouldn't be happening but I have no idea why it is so i'll have to ticket it for investigation when we can afford some more code time on it.

Cheers,

Hi Grant,

Just noticed the reply on this. It seems our suspicions were confirmed and that it was something in the underlying engine. At first we suspected middleware that we were using but in our tests we confirmed that a blank unity project in the engine version we used on an affected machine would also crash. This lead us to spend some time working to update the unity engine version in the game. It's by no means modern but it's at least a year more recent.

So whatever was causing the issue was obviously fixed by Unity. If I had to guess I'd imagine something they were doing was triggering a new security protocol on the new Intels and just causing them to kill the process. But that's just speculation, we don't really have a clue what happens in the black box of the engine sometimes.
