O Rly? Well, you could download a program like VDOTool and modify the fan settings, the 3D fan settings should always be on 100% 2D will be lower, just up that to like 100% Should work. I have both my 3D and 2D on 100% and my computer never heats up. (as far as i know)
I have stumbled over what seems to be a solution (finally). After serching on google with the keyword 'sysdata.msi' I found a forum where someone was having the same problem, not with WC, but with Call of Duty, after searching the thread I found a suggestion to delete C:/Documents and Settings/ <youradminnamehere>/Local Settings/Temp, and also to un-hide the local settings folder, and restart the computer reseting the Temp folder and Local settings.
What blew me away was, it worked , I couldn't understand how this one folder could possibly have an effect on WC:WE terrain editor (@_@)
I'm happy that I can finally continue mapping after what feels like years.
Thanks all for your suggestions, It seems this experience, for me at least, has highlighted the fact that computers are staggeringly strange and unpredictable machines, to think I was about to kick my computer to pieces .
I just got to watch the video because even though I was there I was trying to work out tech problems with the chat since I was the social media guy so I was distracted but check it out guys the video is super fucking great!
Looks like Google fixed whatever mistake that made the recipes on the site go crazy and we are no longer trending towards a recipe site lol - I don't care though because it motivated me to spend alot of time on the site improving it and at least now the content people are looking at is not stupid and embarrassing like it was when I first got back into this like 5 years ago.
They also were digging threw old shit at the sheriff's office and I tried to get them to give me the old electronic stuff, but they said no. They can't give it to people because they might use it to impersonate a cop or break into their network or some shit? idk but it was a shame to see them take a whole bunch of radios and shit to get shredded and landfilled
