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?

@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"
Ok i tested this and it works wonder as described in the dsogaming test.
I use 1080p, max settings with vsync in borderless window mode.
Without "Fix":
With "Fix":
- @x_Ak1504_x my cpu usage is now also better after this tweak it is around 60% but it doesn't affect my fps at all. no matter if I upscale to 200% or choose ultra.. its bouncing between 22 and 30 fps. disgusting.
- @DJBassNrg10 You sure you have the correct values for your cpu in the cfg file ? I doubled my fps from 45 to 90... Without fix i got 45fps regardless what graphic setting... I even tried low @ 720p lol ^^
- @x_Ak1504_x I tried this fix but not helps still Got high cpu usage ☹️
Worked for me as well. I'm using a 4790k with GTX 1080. CPU usage back to 40 from 80%.
Will this (lower the used threads to 4) work on 7700K (which is a 4 cores, 8 threads cpu)?
I was under the impression that more cores to use will yield better fps, not the reverse
- @x_Ak1504_x Friend, if you not against, I'll copy this the text on Russian forum?
- @AkL1ke Share it where ever you want. It´s not top secret ^^
- @x_Ak1504_x I'm still stuck.... nothing seems to save this game
- @x_Ak1504_x Thanks! It helps with my i7 3770 and 80-100% core usage.
Now it 30-70%. Sorry if this is somewhere already but can you post detailed instructions for this?
I've tried adding this from a text file and in the 'Need for Speed Heat' folder alongside the application etc but it is still causing issues with 100% load on cpu.Thanks!
You are a genius thanks 🙂
