If the CPU is overheating, it's due to inadequate cooling. Upgrading the CPU cooler is recommended.
Gamers Nexus has some of the best CPU cooler reviews.
If you're gaming on a laptop then there's not much you can do besides turning the CPU fan speed to 100%.
No it's not, stop posting this in every **bleep** thread

I'm so glad someone said this. It's gotten to the point where I have had to PRE-FACE every single post on X, Reddit, wherever with "I HAVE TRIED THE STUPID USER.CFG "FIX" AND IT DID NOTHING" before continuing.
Additionally, I am having similar problems. Tried everything. No official word from any devs I am aware of. I paid right at $100 USD for a game that I now can't play (unless I play only those small modes), can't return because I played almost exclusively TDM, Squad DM, and Domination, and the only thing "Wrong" I did was assume having something HIGHER than the "Minimum Specs" would render a playable Conquest/Breakthrough experience...
And it's not just you, not just me. 2 of my buddies are in the same boat. One has already returned it. The other works so much he's waiting it out.
Not a peep from the devs. Worst part is as much as I disliked the game at times 2042 ran WAY better for me. THIS sucks. Going on 2 weeks now with no update, no fix...

What exactly are the problems you are having?
Is it pinned at 100%?
Is your CPU overheating?
What CPU and GPU do you have? CPU cooler? What case? Are you case fans high RPM and set properly in bios? If you're on a laptop do you have a good cooling pad like a V12? When was the last time you cleaned the PC and got rid of dust in the case & GPU fans? How long has it been since the thermal paste was cleaned & reapplied?
What settings are you using? What resolution?
Do you have data from HWINFO or CapFrameX showing the overheating?
"Not a peep from the devs."
What do you want them to say? "Sorry DamageJackal, we specifically made the game run bad for you, our fault, we'll update it so it runs at 400 fps for you in the next patch."

ANYTHING. "We're working to fix it" would be an appropriate start, considering the amount of money I and quite a bit of others dropped on it. ANYTHING.
Just browse Reddit, X, here, and Steam forums. I, the others here etc, are FAR from the only people experiencing this yet now its going on 2 weeks with nothing.
PS: Nice try with the rage bait-derail-strawman-redirect by saying things I didn't ask/want. Not addressing. Moving on.
Hostile responses will be straight ignored from here on out. Lol, Good try with the "Sorry DamageJackal, we specifically made the game run bad for you, our fault, we'll update it so it runs at 400 fps for you in the next patch."
Chefs kiss.
