ATTENTION ! DANGEROUS BUg ! (and fix)
Be careful people DO NOT LEAVE YOUR Login screen on a LONG time ! I talked to other people and I can CONFIRM that on both ATI and Nvidia, under some versions of Vista and win7 as well as one case of XP, it makes the videocards work at 100% activity, with heat building up pretty fast !
THERE IS A HIGH CHANCE that your video card WILL GET BURNED !
So be careful guys when you leave your EU in login screen for more than several minutes seconds just in case !
EDIT: Indeed this is a bug, LOG IN Screen HAS NO reason to use 100% Of the graphic cards since the actual game uses 50-60% ! and crysis no more than 80 ! So there is some stupid code in the login screen... I am not saying it will burn in 60 seconds but some MAY ! So be careful ESPECIALLY if you have PASSIVE cooling !
ATTENTION !
There are reports ( even from a close friend that PM'ed me seeing this thread) that several more entropians have already fried their graphic cards !
Don't think that yours can not melt because it costs 1000$ ! IT CAN and IT DID in some cases ! Monitor your temperatures at ALL time !
SOLUTIONS Updated
Enabling Vsync ingame now solves the problem. No need to make another file or force vsync !
Future Nvidia users be aware though !
