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
Help!

Is your laptop overheating? Do you hear the fans running in higher speed?

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.

ok a framerate problem...not over heating......I am not a techie,,,,can you please walk me through the procedure to change the framerate....thanks

- 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.

ok I will do that ....I just played BA1 for an hour at 100 FPS...no over heat...no crash

Hi...I have the FPSL down to 25 and it still crashes...where it does not with BA1 at 100...what else can be done? Thanks

The number needs to go HIGHER to slow it down. So keep increasing it until you find the right value.

Cheers

Pip

OK I will try increasing the number...

If your laptop is old like mine you might also improve things by turning off shadows.

Thanks Pip...increase the value to 125 fixed things....its appreciated...and a great game to boot...I LOVE BA!!!
