High CPU Temperature with low usage
Have an NVIDIA 4070 Super for GPU and AMD Ryzen 5 5600x for CPU. My CPU usage in the menus is only about 30-40% but the temperatures are exceeding 90 Celsius. I'm afraid playing this game will ruin t...

This is not a hardware issue, I have a 4090 and i9 13900KF cpu.
This is the first game so far that has restarted my pc from cpu overheating, I had to do a workaround to limit the game to use 4 cores, and temperatures dropped from 86 average to 65 average with no performance loss. Insane how poorly optimized this game is, but it is making the cpu go insane.
It doesn't happen to everyone, my friends play fine, but I am not despite having the same hardware, and a lot of people on the internet are having the same issue, this is the solution:
Create a file named user.cfg, open it with notepad (or create a notepad file and save it with that name), put this inside the file
Thread.ProcessorCount 4
Thread.MaxProcessorCount 4
Then save it in your main game folder (SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Glacier Events)
This will fix your CPU being overused by the game, you can change the number of cores to improve performance, personally I see no performance downgrade with 4 cores, except I can play above 60 fps without having my PC melt down, before I had to limit my fps to 60 otherwise my PC would overheat and crash.
No other game causes this for me, and I play UE5 games in VR with UEVR at 4x their normal resolution 2x for each eye, don't tell people it's a hardware issue because something is really wrong here.
