CPU USAGE 100%
Before the new update my game was not smooth to be played and i get high CPU usage for the game only which is 90 to 100%, after the new space event update i found out that the game is back to be smoo...

Same here
S22 split update (4,6Gb) last tuesday went about fine. But on thursday there was a small 250Mb update.
And since then: constant random micro stuttering, sometimes freezes for 1 or 2 seconds while enemys are around or in combat. 100% CPU usage mostly.
It's best in training, and worst in mixtape modes and second worst in trios etc.
My fps does not seem affected. 75hz 1080p monitor with vsync so capepd at 75, and i get 50 -75 fps.
Don't see any packet los or lag icons at all! only the audio lag icon wich i did almost never saw before.
Did a game repair, not fixed
Cleared EA app cache, nope (but that's mostly usefull for DL errors)
Restarted my modem, nope
My GPU driver is one year old, i'll try install the latest one today and see.I am on version 536 of the nvidia driver, ill install the 651 game cert driver from this september.
I only had lags cause of the server netcode situation in the past. I could just skip the occasional lagging rounds then and get back to normal the next match most times.
Changing servers? Problem remains same.I'm in Belgium and i'm lucky server wise with 3 in Belgium, 2 in Germany, and 1 UK and Dutch server ... but alas, all the same problem.
I'm on W10 22H2, with Intel Core i5 4760(yes an older cpu, but it ran apex fine before), and nvidia GTX 1060 6Gb.Ram usage ingame is about 7Gb out of 8Gb.
Update
The audio lag icon is the 'starvation' icon; seems the game is expecting input and other player updates but doesnt get them fast enough ...
Even got the input lag icon some times, my mouse and monitor are fine!
Updated nvidia driver = not fixed
Cleared shader cache after disabling shader cache size in nvida control panel, and then enable it back on, no fix, was actaully a lot worse the first rounds
(but i relyed on an older post for shader cache removal fixing stutter issues, 2 years ago)
Another random player told me he had the same problem since the thursday patch.
You're not the only one, for sure. Had this for the last 3 seasons with regular freezes during games. But this season, it's much worse. Constant fps drops, starvation symbols and audio cutouts. All with the 100% CPU usage.
Problem fixed with small hotpatch (had not played since teusday untill saterday night ).
But thx anywayz, still get the occasional lag, but its playable now and some rounds and figts are smoother then others. The servers and netcode are never gonna get transfomed into something great or way better i geuss with a free game thats 5 years old . And built on a (heavely modified i geuss) 20 year old engine.
