Warning malabog castle in mod 2 can damage your video card

I just was in MC and it put my video card on 100% load constantly. This is a very serious bug because in some situations such as when using fan control software it may result in physical hardware damage.

    I definitely had to turn my graphics to the lowest settings to run it well enough to finish the final boss. Never had to before. Something is broken in MC.

    I can't believe Cryptic is so bad that they can't even fix a dang lag bug in Malabog's Castle, I think we are owed an explaining why they have not fixed the graphics lag issues to first boss in Malabog's Castle after 8 Months!!!!!!!! Come on Cryptic fix the dang thing, I should not have to lower my graphics settings on a AMD Radeon 6570 with 2 GB to lowest settings just to run MC? We deserve a good explanation!!!!!!

    Stop using a heat-prone AMD 6570 then -- especially on "fan control" mode.

    AMD 6570 Power/Heat benchmarks
    "GPU temperature is close across the board, with the Radeon HD 6570 suffering the highest levels under load. That's no surprise considering its tiny cooler. The 6670’s larger sink and fan combo is much more capable of dissipating heat effectively."

    Yeah. When I'm running MC, the game becomes very laggy. While VT has no such an issue.

    1. Before today, the last post in this threads was December 2013. That a mod didn't catch it doesn't make it less of a necro post for the matter.

    2. If your graphics card is overheating that badly under load (as evidence has provided)...and MC is causing that sort of load (due to the nature of the dungeon, or a greater quantity of textures/objects)...the logical connection is the load on your graphics card is causing the matter. Blaming the company for a matter that is not inherently theirs is counterproductive.
