It means the game engine is not properly optimized to run and play on our systems. Which means that the game is accessing out hardware more times then it should and causing temperatures to rise higher then they should by overworking our hardware. Currently overworking is probably not a big deal as most of us bought new systems, but 2-3 years down the road constantly working our hardware the way it does will cause overload and hardware will burn out.

Now SE has admitted this in posts on these very forums, as well as over the phone to various people as they have called to complain about things. Constantly running hardware at 100% is a bad thing whether it is designed to be run at said loads or not. Hence forthwith the argument at hand that yes the game is Overtaxing our hardware by causing unnecessary strain on the various components.
Going in circles here.

What you call the login screen I am guessing is the white screen with the start, opening movie, etc. options, that one has some pretty clouds in the lower area, except that SE is dumb and they are almost invisible. So there is your load.


I'll just lol here at your complaints of overworking hardware, I guess there is just no way to help you wrap your mind around the fact that CPU/GPU are made to be run at 100%, as much as you don't want it to be true.

Here's some advice: Leave your case open, lower your graphic settings. Or just wait for the PS3 version. PC gaming is all about replacing hardware often.
