wow， a week has passed and no one has answered me......
keep up the good work, 1C, btw you wonder why you cant compete with big publishing names like EA or T2? Try fire someone at your Q&A department, they are useless.

*cough* I would say that large companies is just as bad, just see a game like Mass Effect, I have no idea if they finally got a patch out or what, but I have dropped the game completely because I didn't want to wait for the patch anymore.
Remember, it's not just one problem they trying to fix, it might be several. Especially the version problem, I can imagine that they need to built in something that can automatically fix the savegames that has been created from other versions.

Large companies arent THAT good, sure..... But at least they can hire enough people to treat their costumers properly.
When Red Alert 3 was out it had that black screen bug, EA released the hot fix for Red Alert 3 in 6 hours
When i had a problem with Total War, SEGA responed me within 24 hours
When my Zoo Tycoon 2 had a bad disc, Microsoft send me a new one for free, it took only a week include the shipping.
Even with Atari, a company i dont like much, when i had the crash problem of The Witcher, someone always online to answer questions, well they didnt solve the problem(i had to exit and rerun the game every 50 minutes), but i saw the effort.
With 1C, i laugh at them, actually i was gona buy the new shooter Necrovision, but i saw the publisher's name, yeah forget about that!

Well all I can say is I definitely will NOT be buying Armored Princess if they don't fix this overheating issue.

I played the game in windowed mode and watched the heat levels of my GPU. Simply starting the game bumped the temperature up 10 degrees centigrade! Playing through the game made it as hot as 67, and that's WITH the laptop sitting on a targus cooling fan! But minimizing the program dropped temperatures back to safe levels. My drivers are up to date and I run MUCH more graphically intense programs with lower temperatures.

Occasional crashes I can handle. THIS game will break my computer if I keep playing it. That is intolerable.

I've had the same issues Wacky Willy. I'm very disappointed as I too am able to run much more graphically demanding games. I'll be Goozexing my copy.

I was really looking forward to playing this....

Who is the publisher of your game and what is your current version? By the way, AP is optimised very good, also using a laptop and no problems at all even on highest settings (instead of original KB which I could play only on medium).

I bought it off gamersgate, I used the included gg patch and the 1.7 patch.

I also tried the Armored Princess demo and had the same overheating issues.

I get smooth framerates, it's not a performance issue. There's just something about how the game is accessing the hardware that's producing extreme overheating, like state changes within a single frame or something.

Here is a thread at the Quarter to Three forums where lots of people are talking about experiencing the same problems on both laptops and desktops, so the problem is not just my own goofy computer setup:

Just did the whole monitoring thing on my temps when running this game due to some issues I was having, found that my CPU temps (both cores) and my GPU temp jump upwards of 20deg without doing anything (just sitting on the start screen for about 10 minutes). I think this may lead to the issues I was having.

The issues I have been having are that, while the game will play fine for a little bit - after a while I will start getting random jittery gameplay followed by flickering (again, random - no specific action will cause it to happen) accompanied by small freezes. (Ex. I will be in the Battle screen directing my troops, the screen will flicker [sometimes a small flicker, sometimes all the way to black with white tearing and then back to the image] and immediately all action will freeze and the game will be unresponsive for from 1sec to 30+ [I tend to force close if it is unresponsive too long]).

Kind of annoying as the game is great and I would love to play longer in each sitting than I do now, but the cost of making my GPU/CPUs overheat (and end up causing system instability after a while) is just too much.

Running Steam version (NA) patched to whatever steam has patched it too.

Now we need worry about our compters health as if computers wasn't troublesome enough!

Just curious where are those hot meter in XP?
