100% CPU Usage issue that shouldn't exist in the first place.

Battlefield 2042 CONSTANTLY at 100% CPU usage when my CPU is absolutely better than the min specs but my GPU runs at a normal 30%-60%. Why won't EA fix their dog crap optimization issue that has plag...

@txymoor Wow. There is absolutely no reason you or I should even have these issues. Hopefully they fix this game asap or I don't see many new players coming into the community. BF4/1/V seem to be the ONLY battlefield games on PC worth even touching at this point!

    @Rokebo73 no it isn't lmfao. I don't want to seem argumentative or aggressive with this reply but that's just not true. I have a CPU almost 4x more powerful than what minimum requirements wants. I can run Cyberpunk 2077 with crazy high settings without DLSS with this CPU and can run a pretty dang high 3D Benchmark score with it too. If you read some of the other threads about this same exact issue you will see people with CPU's in the $500+ range that are even more powerful than mine with the same issue. You can also go on reddit for BF2042 and find threads about this same issue and see comments saying they have BELOW min spec PCs getting fine performance. It is genuinely just an EA/Dice issue and not a user error issue. I wish it was just a 'me' issue though, it would make everything a whole lot easier.

    The thing that rattles me is I ran this game flawlessly for season 1 and 2, yet they change it in season 3 and my i5 9600 now can't run it.......surely I should get my money back as I paid for a product that they made unplayable halfway through its life cycle no?

    What cpu is needed to run smoothly? Can you suggest them to me?

      it is not a question of processor but of optimization!
      I had an old I7-7700k and the game ran fine (except when it rained my pc didn't like it at all). I now have an I9-12900K and I have my processor running at 100% on 64 vs 64 maps.

      I don't know what the hell they did with season 3 but they literally broke their game
