CPU Usage | POSSIBLE FIX

Hi, that is not the case, the frequency remains the same and temperatures dont hit those required to throttle

48player Breakthrough smooth as butter gameplay

I've managed to paly multiple games tonight on smaller maps on 48-64 players, but about 10mins into the newyork bridge map on breakthrough the slow downs started

nothings changed clock or temps wise at all just a sudden CPU useage spike into total PC slowdown

Xathian​ the laptop CPU appears to be thermal throttling which reduces the CPU frequency.

You can verify this by watching the CPU frequency in Windows Task Manager while playing the game. You might see the CPU frequency go from 5GHz down to 4GHz due to CPU thermal throttling.

If so the only remedy is to set the CPU cooling fan speed to maximum.

This seems to have zero effect as the ingame monitor window still displays 16cores 14 job threads, and afterburner/process lasso still indicate its using everything

It doesn’t work for me too. Still having the problem.

Does not work for me and many others, apparently, but Waffle's post has helped some people from what I've gathered

I had this same issue yesterday, and finally had success by adding a user.cfg file to the BF6 game folder with the below, according to this Reddit thread, hope this helps! https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield/comments/1mjy24a/the_beta_has_a_huge_100_cpu_utilization_problem/

Thread.ProcessorCount 4

Thread.MaxProcessorCount 4

Thread.MinFreeProcessorCount 0

Thread.JobThreadPriority 0

GstRender.Thread.MaxProcessorCount 8

Likely not XMP related as I do not have that activated on my rig

I don’t really understand how xmp would effect cpu load this much. I having the same issue and my xmp has always been on.

Same issue with 12900k. Tried user.cfg method of limiting the core number. Tried adjusting power option in BIOS. Nothing helped, the cpu only overheats and gets used this much in bf6. Even cpu benchmarks don’t overheat the same exact cpu.

The game only lasts like 5 seconds for me until the slowdown starts. In training, things are smooth as butter. The issue only occurs in multiplayer lobbies. Has to be a networking issue. I'm seeing other threads saying they are being connected to data centers in other countries, which might be the cause. I assume this was done to resolve the high queue times folks were experiencing. My specs are above the recommended specs, and other than 100% CPU utilization (depending on which software I'm using - task manager only shows 40%-70% usage), my hardware is running fine. Unplayable and got a refund until they have an actual fix.
