100% CPU Usage Issue ONLY ON APEX LEGENDS

Whenever I hop in a game, high cpu usage occurs and it causes micro stuttering and input lag. My fps always ranges above 144 since my pc is supposedly to be able this game smoothly. Is this just a game optimization problem or it's just on my side? I've searched around the internet regarding this and I've seen that this issue has been there since 4 years ago. Why hasn't this been fixed yet?

PC Specs: RTX 2070, Ryzen 7 5700x, 16GB Ram

  • same here, for me it started last season split 2. constantly high CPU usage, the game is dropping frames a lot, I used to get consistent 144 fps on each map, game was running flawlessly until then. and now, it got even worse this season, constant frame drops and stutters, audio cuts off or plays a few seconds later, with starvation icon in the top right whenever this happens, I can barely maintain 100 fps now, playing the game feels terrible. dx12 is pretty much the same

    im not the only one with such issues, a lot of my friends are having this too, with PCs much better than mine 

    tried both without overclocking and overclocked and it made no difference, my cpu is kinda old but it is not a problem even in latest games, so i dont see why apex is suddenly running this badly

    intel i5 6600k

    RX 6700 XT

    16gb ddr4 2400 mhz ram

    the game is installed on ssd
