This game runs higher temps on my CPU than any other game i have

Yes the game looks great and i play it on my laptop a lot but it runs 12-17 degrees hotter than any other crazy graphic intensive game ive run. It caps out at 91 on my Ryzen. Does anyone else have abnormal temps playing this game? i have the graphics maxed out. if there is anything thats should be toned down and wont affect the game too much let me know please

AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX
RTX4070

Thank you for your message.
I hope you can keep your CPU cool enough for the game.

Keep in mind, that many modern games do not utilise CPUs so much as they utilise GPUs.

With Anno 1800 the situation is different. There is a lot of data the CPU needs to process (units movement, production, etc) and the game stresses the CPU much more that other games normally would.

The longer you play and the bigger your population, the more work the CPU will have to do.

Perhaps have a look at laptops cooling mats, if the temperatures start getting too close to the max allowed by AMD.

thanks dev! i have a cooling pad and its really not a big deal but i was just curious why it ran so much hotter than similar games (or even high end FPS titles)

anyways thanks for the reply and you guys did a great job making this game. my only complaint besides the temp issue is why i didnt get into this series sooner. GG

Cap your FPS always helps to lower your temps.Its a town building game not a shooter.

Tjmax of the CPU you mentioned is 100°C. Everything up to that temperature is normal operating temp.
