the solution is to delete the folder of battlefield 1 of My documents and leave the video settings by default,
once you play or modify something the game is broken, you can also test directly from the game in video options
in resetting the video settings by default and do not touch anything,
once you modify some of the video options the game will start to go wrong, leave it in automatic
I will try this the delete my documents thing
edit: didn't seem to work that well
Can you partition your main drive for 120GB+ and install a copy of whatever version of Windows you have available to you. Setup an admin account, install required drivers and most importantly install Origin and Battlefield 1. I know this is a pain in the a$$ but this will give you a better idea of what program/driver/service is causing your CPU to sit on 100%.
If you do this, you could install programs one by one testing Battlefield 1 every time to see what's causing your issue.
A fresh version of Windows will help you isolate the issue and installing your programs one by one will be a process of elimination.
Consider that the game runs very well at the moment (for an unknown reason), and that I really don't think that would work I won't do that, I'm sorry.
When looking at what takes up CPU usage during a laggy session it is like 95-98% BF1, 2% taskmanager, 1% system, 1% something else important etc. I really am starting to feel like it is the code in the game that is causing this for so many people. I bet most people just think their overall PC is too weak and therefore don't complain, so there's probably a lot more with this problem then there appears to be. I really just think DICE should take a look at this issue that is plaguing some i5 users.
And it is just too much of a pain in the azz indeed.
Update: Today monte grappa made my CPU go nuts and made me fps drop, then I restarted BF1 and origin and it seemed to fix it. The theory that origin might give some people bad "ports" or something and that a restart sometimes helps is starting to to seem more likely.
I just ordered an i7 7700K. I suppose you could call this forum solved.
