  • @ItsInsert No official fix by patch yet. Now you can create in game folder file "user.cfg" and open by note to set commands:

    Thread.ProcessorCount 4
    Thread.MaxProcessorCount 7
    Thread.MinFreeProcessorCount 0
    Thread.JobThreadPriority 0

    (This is my example for I7-7700k, where "Thread.ProcessorCount" - its number of fisical core, "Thread.MaxProcessorCount" - number of virtual core that you make less to reduce the max load CPU )
  • They can't fix it. It's fine perfomence for this game because they released. 

  • For your info, the user.cfg file works wiith ea launcher ;-)

    Take a look in the PROFSAVE_profile for the following setting: "GstRender.ResolutionHertz"  Change this value to match your refresh rate.

    It's probably set at 60 even though you may have the refresh rate in the game display settings set differently.   This has increased my GPU utilization and also has reduced my CPU utilization as well. 

    UPDATE: After some more testing, the first round I was in looked promising with the GPU being used more but then back to how it was previously. Sorry thought this would help some.

    @Digitalmessiah I didn't see a specific date besides the "December" update. Fingers-crossed it's the first week. Hopefully they keep pumping out updates quickly.
  • also if I download the game from steam where do I put the user.cfg file at? I put the file in the folder where I downloaded the game.
