This game destroyed my laptop

Greetings,

I was playing New World this morning and I smelled something like burning plastic, but it was to late for my laptop. Now, I cannot turn it on at all. I recommend players who cannot afford a new pc like me not to play this game until they are sure about their pc’s safety.

Hi
I also installed the game today and started it with my rog app open.
My gpu temp was at 71 and rising till 72-73 then back and it was normal it can go upto 80-85.
But something unusual happened as i wanted to change my Wi-Fi to another wifi so what i did was press win button to go to the wifi section.
But after 5-6 seconds of pressing the win button something happened to the screen like it was fading and was going black like my laptop was loosing it’s life.

So what i did hurriedly was press my long press my power button and switched off the laptop and i also checked for smells of burning but luckily there was nothing unusual no smells no burn marks on laptop.
And i switched on the laptop and checked everything it was a slow for a moment when i switched it on but i ran another game dying light-1 it ran smoothly mo heat problems no lag.

Then i deleted the game.
I didn’t even play it i was on choosing the section server when this happened.

So now my only concern is that when will be i able to play this game.

My laptop’s spec’s are:-

Asus rog strix G17 2020 model
16gb ram,GTX 6gb 1660ti graphic’s,i7 10750H,10th gen,17’3 inch, Win 11(Insider program).1tb ssd.
That’s it.

• What settings were you running at?
• Do you have any specific settings in the Nvidia control panel?
• Do you have MSI Afterburner?

If you try and run it again on a laptop, cap the frames at 60 in-game and in the Nvidia Control panel cap the frames at 55Hz rather than 60Hz so it doesn’t go a bit over 60Hrz.
In After Burner set the Power Limit to 70.

Yeah this game is a resource hog and it causes major overheating.
I have a good PC with an old GPU (1060) and the fans spin so fast when I play NW I’m afraid my PC will either take off or melt.
I’ve stopped playing because of this.
No game is worth the risk of frying your rig.
