Since the new AOW my videocard seem to have some trouble with the game. It gets really hot. Is there a way to downgrade this beatifull game let it run on lower resolution or other that it has less calculating to do?

Decreasing the Resolution will have direct Impact on your Speed. But it will also get uglier, the more you decrease it.

If you can post your Hardware data, I am sure there are People who can give recommendations.

But if you are playing on a Laptop, it could be that the CPU/GPU gets hot and it feels uncomfortable on your lap or at your fingers ;)

yes, but that wouldnt be a video card, thats just the chip^^ if your laptop is that "well cooled", their is nothing you could do about it. even if you play with less effects or a smaller resolution, the gpu will probably stay at 100%, just with more frames.

I'm afraid your CPU will also be hot if you play with a weak laptop (mine is). The workload on GPU can be decreased by tweaking graphical settings. But if you find speed 1 and speed 2 are the same you are screwed by your CPU.
