I always quit midgame, because in windows, whenever my laptop over heats, windows fails to smoothly throttle and the game starts running on less than 1 fps.
even the windows UI runs slow.
To fix the issue, I reset windows for the third time now, hopefully it fixes it self.
This isn't a software issue.
Tried cleaning fans and dust? Replacing thermal paste?
Thanks for the suggestion, but its a windows problem because linux (I dualboot) doesnt suffer from this.
Tried playing the same game in both Operating systems. windows HEAVILY throttled after ~15 minutes, linux smoothly throttled (the game ran in ~25 fps after the overheating in linux, while in windows it ran ~1 fps)
Linux throttles early so I usually need to lower the graphics to enjoy a more consistent 60 fps.
I suppose the followup question is, why keep a Windows partition if your games play better on Linux anyways?
Some games I play are only on windows.
I also like separating serious stuff and gaming, in this case, windows for gaming, linux for anything else.
But thanks for asking, All the best!
