Apex legends 30% CPU usage “system” process

While playing Apex, after 5-10 minutes

The System process using 30% of CPU usage

So when i playing game is lagging, sometimes no sounds and high ping, throttling because 100% cpu usage with apex(check screenshot)

I think its problem with EAC service, but i tried all things that i found in internet, but nothing can help me.

pls if someone have the same problem help me

    Hi - I've had this problem since the Genesis update in 2021. Tried everything (except upgrading as I believed it to be on Apex's side), it ran perfectly before that specific update. My CPU is : Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4460  CPU @ 3.20GHz, 3201 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)

    I also don't think system makes much difference. It usually takes up less than 1% for me but Apex takes up whatever it can (often 90-95%)

    Hey folks,

    Just as a heads up, we are tracking this issue here.

    If you're able to let us know what CPU you're running we'll be sure to pass that along to help the investigation, though currently we wouldn't have any other particular workarounds.
