[PC][Steam][8.7.0] PvE Dead Space Event Empties Laptop Battery in an instant !!
Hello over there,
since todays BF2042 Update v8.7.0, by the PvE Dead Space Event BF2042 has emptied my high-end laptop's battery charge even while being plugged in to a power source within minutes . . . !!
After 20 minutes of being inside the PvE DS event with other players, BF2042 ate up 55% of Battery. From healthy 75% down to 20%, while even being plugged in as mentioned.
Of course I had not noticed the emptying battery charge until my laptop gone below 25%, caused power savings method and 20 fps in-game. My Battery has gone hot, and still is during charging up again.
This is a very unusual behaviour, something broke BF2042 in this case to use this heavy amount of energy!!
CPU and GPU Temperatures are still nominal.
After validation of Steam's BF2042 files by receiving a ~35 MB patch, BF2042 runs "stable" again. CQC, C64 and especially PvE Outbreak. however, if being on Outbreak the UI lag for example by expanding player's ID Cards, and gameplay feels somewhat gluey while still having about 150 fps . . .
