    Hey there folks..

    I am having this strange issue playing Fear 1.

    When i start the game it averages something like 150 fps. Smooth as butter. However after a while, the fans start to get a bit louder and the fps drops to 20. But stable. It never becomes 21 but might fall to 19.

    Is this because the game is perhaps not compatible with win 7 or quad core?

    I remember i could not get DIRT working previously and everytime i tried to launch it i had the same fan noise.

    Never happens with other games.

    Any suggestions?

    The game engine is incompatible with Logitech mice. It probably causes CPU to poll the mouse too much and suck up much of your CPU power.
