Can't catch up to most servers anymore

Hi,

in the past weeks and months I haven't played so much Factorio. In earlier times it was no problem to catch up on servers with bigger maps, also when there was a playercount 30+. But now when I want to join the catching up bar runs in the most times backwards. Was there a update that changed some things here or do I need to reinstall my PC.

I only play with a Laptop what is far from highend, but was working quite well:

Check your CPU temperature and make sure your performance options are not set to save power. Generally your CPU is quite weak so not being able to join mid or endgame bases is to be expected, try joining smaller/less progressed games.
