			I am having trouble being able to play the game, my lap top keeps over heating and shutting down, before I can barly get past the character creation, opening videos, and the virtual tutorial. Is any one else having this problem? Is there anyhtign I can do to make it run without over heating me after only a few minuets?

			Would need to know a bit more about your laptop in order to figure that out. It sounds like, on the surface, that it's just not powerful enough or has some very poor ventilation but can't be sure without more info.

It sounds like you don't have the requirements to run the game.
 
I've heard of many issues with optimisation but never overheating.
 
I think this one might be on your end. We'd need more information to be able to help, you aren't giving us much to go on.
 
Please, please, please don't say "but it runs other games". All games are different and rely on different things to run. Wildstar tends to be CPU heavy so if you don't meet the minimum system requirements, it will overheat.

			Overheating game? More like overheating laptop. :P

			Suggestions:1 Set video settings to low. (I'm sure you've done this but it's worth mentioning.)2 Clean dust/dirt in cpu fan. (I did a research on my laptop and it would take 10-15 minutes(for a pro) to open.)3 Point an electric fan to your laptop while playing. (Being lazy this is what I did. It also works on desktop pc.)4 Build a budget gaming pc. (Feeling foolish having an electric fan pointed at my laptop, I built one.)Good Luck!
