1 CPU core gets stuck at 100% after playing Apex for a while

I updated my computer with Windows 11 yesterday and was met with an issue in Apex for the first time ever: after 1-3 games, one of my CPU cores gets stuck at 100% load and doesn't come down until I c...

Since there seems to be no way of directly contacting support, I guess I'll just bump this thread... Any solutions to this problem? I would really like to be able to play the game.

Was hopeful for this issue to be dealt with by the new season start and patch but no.. still the same issue. One CPU core gets stuck at 100% after 5-10 minutes of playing. PLEASE FIX THIS.

    @Vuhra Same issue here.

    Specs; I9 9900k/RTX 3070.

    I've had this issue for the longest time (6 months or more).
    Tried everything, from reinstalling OS multiple times from windows 11 to windows 10.

    This is the only game where this issue comes up on, and sometimes its fine and other times its just there.

    i've also tried to set the CPU affinities to certain cores, disabled Hyperthreading, tried different NVIDIA drivers, checked system stability with tenths of different tools.

    I literally tried everything, and I am so pissed that it is still not fixed and frametimes are bad because of this.

    Next thing I will try is to buy new mobo, CPU, ram etc. There needs to be a way to report the issue...

    I've tried through the official channels, but the bug report functionality itself is bugged, and there is no way to report this.


    EA PLEASE FIX

      I recorded a video; Soon as I turn around to the dummy, the CPU usage on 4th core gets stuck at 100% - when I turn around its back to normal.

        So the problem is with Easy Anti Cheat. EAC was doing the same exact thing on Lost Ark game, devs issued a fix for this however. Does anyone from development team even read this forum? Seems that people on this thread have been complaining about this for a good while and nothing has ever happened..

        @Zeelmaekers any help please?
