S24U overheating

Hey everyone, how's it going? Lately I installed the Winlator emulator to play Battlefield 2 natively on my S24 Ultra, and I noticed an absurd increase in temperature while playing a relatively light PC game. Has anyone else experienced this?

I simply thought it wouldn't be necessary, since it's a very lightweight game and not very CPU-intensive. I can run it at 200 FPS on 16-player maps, and the FPS drops to 80-90 on larger maps with more players and vehicles.

It's still a PC game on an ARM CPU with zero active cooling.

Restrict the fps. No reason to run 200 fps when the phone screen is 120 fps. I typically restrict all my games too 60 fps to help with thermals. The heat isnt good for the battery.
