Apex is using an abnormal amount of CPU and the fps is extremely low.

After the March 12 update, I noticed a 20 FPS drop on the slopes in the firing range (from 180 FPS to around 160 FPS). In actual matches, as shown in the screenshot, my CPU usage hits 100%, yet I only get around 50 FPS when overlooking the map, and even only 60 FPS when skydiving. During combat, FPS fluctuates between 100 and 120, causing severe stuttering.

My PC specs are: Intel i5-12490F, AMD RX 6600, and 16GB RAM (8GB + 8GB DDR4 3200MHz).Windows10

What’s causing this? I tried deleting the EasyAntiCheat_EOS folder in C:\Program Files (x86) and the EasyAntiCheat folder in the game directory, then verified the game files. That fixed the issue on March 13. However, today (March 14), the problem has returned.

I have attached screenshots. If you need more information, please let me know what to provide. If there is a working solution already available, please tell me exactly how to fix it.

    I don't think it's a cooling issue. If that were the case, the frame rate should be normal at first when temperatures are still low. But as soon as I enter the game, regardless of the game mode, my FPS drops sharply immediately.
