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 plagued this game since day 1? I have done every single fix known to man kind and have done everything I can to fix this stupid issue that shouldn't exist. I even see people with CPU's basically 100x as powerful as mine having this same damn issue that SHOULDNT EXIST AT ALL. I'm trying my hardest not to get banned from this platform right now because I really want my issue fixed without going off on the devs but this is so embarrassing to witness. Triple A developers my *.

Specs:
i5-8500k @ 3.90 GHz
RTX A2000 6GB (3050 equivalent)
16GB DDR4 3200

250W 80+ Platinum PSU



There is literally no reason this stupid issue should exist. I'd have no issue if my game didn't run like a piece of crap cus of the CPU usage issue even if it ran at 90% usage all the time but that just shouldn't happen to begin with let alone 100% CPU usage. Either update the minimum requirements to be super computer spec or fix the god damn issue or delist this absolutely horrid game from the store. I feel like I wasted my money.

IF ANYONE HAS AN ACTUAL FIX AND NOT SOME BS USER.CFG """FIX""" IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. HOPEFULLY staff at EA/Dice/whoever made this game sees this and elevates this issue because like I've already said 1000 times IT. SHOULD. NOT. EXIST.

    @InTheThickness This could help ya !

    But make sure windows and system, drivers are all uptodate before ya gonna use AtlasOs.

    It will fully strip windows , so no unneeded apps/processes ect ect ect !
    Its a real performance boost -->> but ya loose some options, example Paint, Windows uipdate, ect ect ect !

    Cheers

    @Rokebo73 I think it's just a joke. CPUs today are fast enough to handle multiple threads "simultaneously" (4000? Easy). "Real performance boost" will only come when you upgrade your CPU, not disable "applications, you think will be unnecessary".

    @pecmeserp i did test AtlasOs , and it realy boost performance , cause minimal processes are running !

    Thats why youre cpu is 100% , to much running windows processes and 3rd oarty processes in the background !

    Or maybe a upgrade cpu + memory <-- will a big performance boost !

    Its literally not, it is a standalone issue with BF2042, the same exact issue they had with the game several patches ago, that they fixed for a little while and things were perfectly fine (even with all the "unnecessary" tasks running on a PC  XD) and then brought that problem back again, 2 updates ago...  The system its running on has nothing to do with the power consumption of the game, it runs 100% full tilt on anything from a potato on ultra settings to a $10k pc on all low settings.  Its unacceptable.

    @Priapus1337 did ya check if all cores/threads run at 100% ? or did ya just see 100% avarage from 1 core/thread ?
