Re: Star Wars Battlefront 2 Overheats my new laptop Instantly on minimum settings

You probably unproperly renamed "User.cfg" not to be "User.cfg.txt".
You have to have the file extension visible in your file explorer settings.

Please refer to this tutorial:

Alternatively, while in game or the menu, open the game's CONSOLE using the tilde button ( ~ ) and enter

GameTime.MaxVariableFps 72

    Well.... I just tried the game and the console variable GameTime.MaxVariableFps is not working at all anymore!?

    I don't know why and when it stopped working... It's also an appreciated variable in other Frosbite's games, such as Battelfield, FIFA and Mirror's Edge Catalyst..

    My advide:

    Download and install the very useful, critically acclaimed freeware called "MSI Afterburner" on Guru3d.com with its monitoring companion "RivaTunerStatisticServer" (RTSS).
    Next, add starwarsbattlefrontii.exe to the list of applications in RTSS and put 72, 60, 45 or 31 in the Framerate Limit box.

    It works

    Thanks I’ll look into it. Decreasing the power flow to the processors has been quite good. I’ve contacted people at ASUS, updated my bios there seems to be less heat now.
