Just been lucky enough to have had a 2 hour session on Crysis and my battery(/laptop) died, even though it was plugged in and the little green LED was on. Anyone else experienced this or know what I can do about it?

cheers
 
yeah, it's working fine now. it just completely died whilst attached to mains in Windows. we are not amused :/
 
it was on my lap and no hotter than normal. crysis has a battery indicator on screen at all times and it was definitely decreasing. it does this in any game, but I've never played one long enough to see what happens - I assumed it would just go onto mains power rather than kill itself!
 
I've just been to see a Genius and the only thing he could find was a problem with core 2 duos and ACPI in Windows - apparently it's a problem that Intel are looking into but I guess that means we'll never know when it's going to be sorted.

I have a 2.4Ghz MBP. It's not a huge deal, just means that I can't play games for more than 2.5 hours!
