High CPU usage

Hi, I’ve noticed a really high cpu usage (87%-100%) i don’t think that’s normal, even with settings to medium and all the “graphics” disabled nothing changed..

I’ve never had a similar problem (this causes the game to freeze sometimes), if it’s a cpu problem I’ll buy a i7 lol

My configuration 

i5-6600k (3.5ghz boosted to 4.1ghz)

GTX 1080ti

16gb ram

  • Hey @099tintin  I would say its part of the high requirements for the CPU 

    RECOMMENDED REQUIREMENTS

    Spoiler
    OS: 64-bit Windows 7/8.1/10
    Processor (AMD): Ryzen 7 1700 or Equivalent
    Processor (Intel): i7-6700K or Equivalent
    Memory: 16 GB
    Graphics card (AMD): RX Vega 56 or Equivalent
    Graphics card (NVIDIA): GTX 1070/GTX1660Ti or Equivalent
    DirectX: 11 Compatible video card or equivalent
    Hard-drive space: 55 GB

    With the added threads that the i7 has over the i5 it helps a lot.

    Im using a Ryzen 3700x and this game only uses 4 cores, but it uses those cores at 100%.

    Not surprising a I5-6000K is being utilized that much.

    Its not dangerous or even bad that the game utilizes your cpu as much as it can as long as it doesnt cause stuttering.
