    Hey there,

    It’s actually fairly normal for the CPU to ramp up while downloading a game. This happens because the system is actively requesting resources from nearly every component in your PC during the process. It’s similar to what happens with other launchers like Steam as well. Once the download is finished, the CPU usage should return to normal. If you’re noticing it staying high for an extended period, it might be worth checking if there are any other processes running in the background. Let me know if it’s still an issue!
