Hi everyone,

I've noticed that the launcher keeps my i7 processors at 15+% load for no apparent reason. I'm running a laptop with heat problems, and while the game itself doesn't increase my temperature over 90 degrees, the launcher itself increases it to 97 degrees celsius :D

So, what's the launcher doing? Is there any chance for a workaround, to stop it from hogging all that processor power and potentially overheating my laptop?

the only workaround i can see is on PGI´s side to optimize the game and make it less CPU hungry... last time i checked (well did it several times) the MechLab screen took 60% CPU from core one, and a little less from core 2...(together with other processes my processor usage is about 70% while in the launcher window...)

in comparison, my memory used by MWO is about 550MB in the mechlab/launcher window... there is enough reserves there ^^

It's rendering the Mechbay the whole time in the background as well as a selected mech, so that's why it's using GPU/CPU usage in the launcher.
