    I always quit midgame, because in windows, whenever my laptop over heats, windows fails to smoothly throttle and the game starts running on less than 1 fps.
    even the windows UI runs slow.

    To fix the issue, I reset windows for the third time now, hopefully it fixes it self.

        Thanks for the suggestion, but its a windows problem because linux (I dualboot) doesnt suffer from this.

        Tried playing the same game in both Operating systems. windows HEAVILY throttled after ~15 minutes, linux smoothly throttled (the game ran in ~25 fps after the overheating in linux, while in windows it ran ~1 fps)

        Linux throttles early so I usually need to lower the graphics to enjoy a more consistent 60 fps.

          I suppose the followup question is, why keep a Windows partition if your games play better on Linux anyways?

            Some games I play are only on windows.

            I also like separating serious stuff and gaming, in this case, windows for gaming, linux for anything else.

            But thanks for asking, All the best!
