Hello, the CPU used 40% with the new Genesis update is 100% used after this update. I've seen a lot of people having the problem, tried all the solutions but it doesn't work. FPS is 20-30 because 100% CPU is used. Do not say that this problem is caused by us, because the problem is caused by the new update. How can I solve it?
I guess they're trying to evade acknowledging it cause it might get them in legal trouble if someone gets their CPU messed up. Still they can't leave this at is.
I somehow got it "fixed" with -numworkerthread 2
But when switching to ranked it gets to 100%
I think this problem was caused when they were trying to fix ranked, ecause at day 1 of Genesis Update I was playing just fine even ranked mode. They're probably getting some anticheat updates that are causing way higher CPU usage or bugs with some intel CPUs... Sadly they haven't even acknowledged it yet.
And here is our MASTER community manager ONCE AGAIN, asking people for client side info for a KNOWN server side issue... Illum, do you have any certifications? like, do you actually know anything about PC troubleshooting when it comes to games? seriusly, honest question
I'm about to lose my sanity.
Apperently not no, 1 answer is all we got
Hello fellow Legends.
I'm a AMD user. Why am I not getting CPU 100% usage?
My spec are R5 1500x & RX470 on Adrenalin 21.4.1
I'm not sure for Intel(sorry).
Story:-
A player post on facebook, his PC(CPU) is using alot of usage when playing Apex.
His spec is R3 3200g & RX5500XT on Adrenalin 21.6.1.
I told him to downgrade to 21.4.1 because I don't have issues.
He tried and he said still the same. So I went and do my experiment.
I update to Adrenalin 21.6.1. And my CPU stay 100% even when I'm idling at lobby.
I tried at firing range & 1 game. I was shuttering all the way.
So I decided to downgrade back to 21.4.1. It's still the same but....
after I reboot again. Everything was back to normal.
(I was playing a moment ago before I came here posting)
Here's the thing, before Genesis patch. I was on 21.6.1 and I played Apex, no issues.
Adrenalin 21.6.1 was release on Jun. I was using it and I don't like it.
So I revert it back to 21.4.1 and Apex patch the genesis a few days ago.
So I was no problem until I saw that player post.
I am not sure for Intel fellas. I hope my infomation can help some guys here.
By the way, I'm on Steam with overlay on adding obs studio & afterburner running.
Game still running * half of the time...
Hellleeeeuuuuu tech support? Its not my pc bc its only with apex.
I don't understand why community managers and chat supports insist that it's a pc end problem while they know its on their side problem
The Game Was running Fine Before Genesis Update, why this is happening now Well am gonna explain what's happening from The Beginning
1- i was following what is happening in background, So The Moment The Game Starts The Anticheat Software spike to 30 to 40 % not only but as a high CPU usage it's like accelerated multi task for the CPU to do things before the game start or it will not work well as they planned it to do.
so this gives us a clear idea that EA has implanted a new Anti cheat Codes/hash or what ever they called it to track down cheaters pc's with detecting any background cheat Softwares
Thinking taking them down this way while they are taking down our CPU's
2 - The Lobby: i played many trio games and its working great CPU was running at 20% to 40 % smooth game Fps +100 to +150 no problem at all
The Moment i change to Ranked and here the Magic Happened , CPU spike to nearly 95%/100% With A huge Fps Drop In The Lobby not only and of course in game stuttering , micro and huge freezes , Fps Drop / Stuttering , Lag / Prediction Error Icon / impossible to the CPU to handle all of this at the same time even if you have a new cpu it will spike up at certain point when it gets hotter , and even if you get the chance to shoot some people The Game Will crash
So Please Apex Legends Developers , unroll The Anti cheat Update , because its harming our computers and go find another solutions to track down cheaters, it will not be at the expense of our CPU's and Pc's i want to play to have fun and release the stress of working all day
Here is an article 1 day before update confirm what I'm saying about tracking down cheaters

Ye @TNx_Prime I believe they rolled some anticheat updates and its demanding more of CPU and I'm getting some heavy spikes and/or 100% CPU. Literally unplayable. They need to unroll that update I can't believe I spent money on this game just for it to become this because of a bad way to resolve cheating.
