3.2 seems to have been good for CPU usage, anyone else?

Question

I’ve been strongly complaining about lots with 2042 since release, mostly earned really. So I have to be fair and acknowledge when things are done right. Like a lot of others, I had the high CPU usage issue. I’ve got a 5800x in an Aorus pro B550, ROG 3600ti, 32 GB (unlocked) 3600 mhz RAM, and a 980 Pro SSD. It’s as good as my budget allowed, and will play any game without issues… except 2042. I’d spike up to 100% CPU usage regularly, which resulted in lag and slow downs. While the ALAT and time nudge still are entirely random, I’ve been hovering between 55%-79% CPU usage since the 3.2 patch. That’s a substantial improvement so congratulations to the devs on finally getting this key issue for PC players under control.Am I the only one seeing improved CPU usuals since the patch?

Big improvement on PS4 smoother gameplay more FPS and maps load faster. Valiparaiso used to start with no ground. &nbsp;You could see through everything for the first minute of the game. Now it loads instantly. All the soldier animations (not your own movements, i am talking about characters you see around you) are much better. Close to BFV level now. This was my biggest complaint from the beginning of the game. The new revive animation is a step forward too. Soldiers used to use the defibrillator in the air, sometimes looking the other way too. Now soldiers poke the med pen at the downed soldier at least. Overall the game is in it's best form since launched.&nbsp;

CPU usage is significantly better, leading to good improvements on overall framerate, but particularly the 1% lows.

The game is smoother and gives more consistent frametimes.

@sk1lld Did it improve anything for you?

CPU usage behavior is the same for me as before. Though I don't mind since I have enough cores, maybe they optimized something for 16 threads or less.
