Re: Constant 100% CPU utilization since Season 3 update

Have EA/DICE investigated the issue with EAC causing high CPU usage? There are confirmed reports of similar issues by other publisher's games using EAC which started around Nov 28 with an EAC driver update.

There was an EAC update for Ubisoft Division 2 game on Dec 19. Users are reporting is solved their CPU issues. EAC driver's are game specific, and I can see BF2042 is still using the older EAC driver by looking at the signature timestamps.

Yes. But, we can see the timestamps on the signatures for BF2042's EAC driver haven't been updated.

@DigitalHype, interesting, thanks for this info. I will pass it on to the teams, so it can be included in their investigation.
