I have tested the game for a few hours, and I have noticed that the CPU usage is way above the average (90 to 100%) most of the time comparing to other games. I have tried different settings and it doesn't change that much. The devs need to address this issue before the full release, otherwise I won't bother buying it.
My PC specs:
Ryzen 5 5600
RX 6700xt
RAM 16gb 3200 MHz
Nvme 1tb
I have the same problem and BF2042 was also causing my PC to "cook". These games are not optimized for PC despite what they say.
There is not much we can do I am afraid.
Same situation. It seems to vary a lot though. I have a I9-9900K with a 3070TI. My card is coasting the whole time while my CPU is on fire. I tried to lasso a few cores but it didn’t do much. Let me know if you find a solution.
Hi,
First, if you play on EA, activate the in-game overlay.
Relaunch and see if it changes.
If that doesn't change create a file with Notepad called "user.cfg".
Copy this inside and replace the 6 and 12 with your processor's specifications:
Thread.ProcessorCount 6
Thread.MaxProcessorCount 6
Thread.MinFreeProcessorCount 0
Thread.JobThreadPriority 0
GstRender.Thread.MaxProcessorCount 12
If you're not familiar with this, go into the game and enable the FPS indicator. There will be a green line in the top left corner with the processor's specification like for example for me:
CPU Core: 12 Job threads: 6
Place this file in the game folder.
This solves the problem for some people
I have been playing it on steam, but I will try out the second option. Thanks for the hint!
If you are using nvidia use driver version 577 as it is more stable
