CPU load 95 - 100%
Will you do something about it? Can at least notify people? Many have such problems. so buy games from EA sports. How much does DLC with optimization cost?

Might be the "The Windows 10 KB4512941 update that was released few days ago gave some serious trouble to gamers all over the world. From high CPU usage to constant stuttering while playing games or running heavy applications" microsoft has put out a hotfix for it.

@thepepsiman As i said this issue only happens in Heat... Every other game runs as always for me.
Well the windows hotfix helped me in this game, so you might want to try it...
@thepepsimanThis hotfix is installed on my system since August 27th 2019... My system is always up to date 🙂
A user gave me the link to this performance test: https://www.dsogaming.com/pc-performance-analyses/need-for-speed-heat-pc-performance-analysis/
They had also very high CPU loads and because of that low fps. As you can read in their "Update" a user explained the issue and recommended to create a user.cfg to limit the used cores ect and it worked for them. I have not tried it yet but feel free to test it and report back please. Sounds like a workaround until Ghost fixes the issue.
"UPDATE:
It appears that the default online profile was the cause of our underwhelming CPU performance. By creating a user.cfg and limiting our CPU Processor Count, we were able to properly run the game (even without Hyper Threading). Kudos to our reader “connos” for providing the following solution.
You can limit your CPU processor count by creating a user.cfg file in the game’s main folder and using these commands. The config below is for quad-cores with Hyper Threading (4 cores, 8 threads). You can change these values to your liking:
Thread.ProcessorCount 4
Thread.MaxProcessorCount 4
Thread.MinFreeProcessorCount 0
Thread.JobThreadPriority 0
GstRender.Thread.MaxProcessorCount 8"
Wrong it is not only NFS HEAT but also AC Origins and Odyssey.
