| I'm not sure client-side. Perhaps there's a setting for it. |

Great Roblox.. You can't disable it on Settings. Now I can't play most of the games without overheating.
And I don't even hope that they will even think to add a option to remove dynamic lighting client-side. |

| The problem with having setting for dynamic lighting would be disabling it to gain an unfair advantage in games that depends on it. |

| Client-sided script execution still isn't very hard... |

| What unfair advantage? My computer overheats everytime it joins a place with dynamic lights. |

| Get a cheapo card. It would probably be better than the one you have and wouldn't overheat. |

@Prehistoric Problem is that I only have a laptop and I would have to replace my processor to actually change the video card |

| Clean it out? Laptops shouldn't overheat when they are in factory standards. I bet the undersized heatsink laptops get is clogged with dust. |

My old laptop use to overheat. I suggest the medieval method of putting a fan behind it. It actually works. ._.

If you use the laptop on your actual lap, get a lapdesk, it'll improve the airflow.
Otherise, most likely you just have a bunch of dust in it. Google for disassembly instructions and get some compressed air and get all the dust out (or, if you're very very confident and careful, you can use a vacuum, however a lot can go wrong with a vacuum so unless you know what you're doing don't use a vacuum) |

| An easy way to clean out a laptop is to take a compressor and gently blow air into it. You would be surprised how much dust comes out of it. However, be careful of the fan and the direction the fan spins. If you aren't careful, you can blow the blades right off of it. |

| Cut holes into the computer and place all the fans you can find next to it. |

| Another thing to note, spinning fans too quickly can induce damaging current into the computer's electronics, it's best to just not let the fan turn at all. |

| I suggest just taking a vacuum with a brush head and putting it up to the vents quickly, just brushing by it. It really helps. I was there. |

You're such an idiot. You just bumped a thread from May. Get out, and never post in this forum section again. |

How about you upgrade to something other than a potato. |
