Battlefield 1 PC 100% CPU usage problem

Hey @NjectAerinqq,

Sorry you're experiencing these issues.

However if you check the Tech Specs, the minimum required CPU is a i5-6600k (Link Below)

Unfortunately, Battlefield 1 is a very CPU intensive game, and will eat up almost all your CPU usage.

Some things you can try to improve FPS:

1. Make sure you have the Origin in-game Overlay turned off in Origin Launcher, and the Battlefield 1 game properties in Origin

2. Check the Frame Rate Limiter setting in game, in the Video/Graphics settings, and set it to 60-120, depending on what your Build can handle

3. If you're using Nvidia GeForce Experience, try disabling it

Other than that, all I can do is suggest upgrading to a better CPU when you're able to.

Hope this helps.

Thanks 🙂 

Thanks for the reply. So there is no way to force the game to use less CPU somehow? I mean the game was running just fine for 2 years, I started experiencing the issues after the patch. This is telling me its not necessarily issue with my CPU. Recommended CPU is nice thing, but 3570K is not slow CPU and its OCed to 4 GHz. According to this benchmark http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i5-6600-vs-Intel-Core-i5-3570K/3514vs1316 the difference between mine CPU and 6600 is marginal at best. I dont want to buy new CPU to find out I am gonna have the same issues (like lots of other ppl on this board with better CPUs). Besides all other games are running just fine.

Same problem, i5-4670k here. And you know whats really funny? Sometimes the whole day i have perfect stable locked 70 fps. But on the next day i have 40-60 and 100% cpu load. I swear this is not the first time this happens. I noticed that so many times, like one day i have perfect 70 fps without any drops and next day i have terrible fps dropping down to 30. DICE says upgrade your cpu. BUT YOUR GAME WORKED JUST FINE 3 DAYS AGO AND TODAY ITS LAGGING. It's definately some issue with the game not with our cpus. And dice probably will never fix that so i guess i have to go to BF4 and thank you dice for great optimisation.

what res. u running? BF1 eats cpu but shouldnt be a problem for you..
