Hi everyone,
We pushed out a fix for this issue in today's Mandalorian update. Some of you mentioned it's now working for you - glad to hear that! And thanks for sticking with us. If you notice any new or remaining issues related to this, please leave a comment.
@WarGravy00You can run on Ultra but with limited framerates/vsync and your temps are going to be much lower that if you run without them at the same time and on lowest settings.
Doesnt matter the game doesnt matter the resolution, doesnt matter the graphical settings, the gpu and cpu are going to generate the most number of images they can, so they will work more.
For example, i run BallisticNG which is a game that's not demanding (but great) limited by my choice (every game should have a user defined frame control) on 250fps and vsync off (helps input latency). every effect on at 1440p
Runs waaaay cooler than without user frame control going all out at over 800fps vsync off, effects off.
There's around a 10°C difference, but still under 80°C in the worst case. *Edit: under 80°C for the GPU and under 70°C for the CPU in the worst case
Your CPU shouldn't reach 100°C, in any case you mentioned limited or not limited.
I will play cautious here and write it so no one tries to twist this info: i would imagine someone trying to say: oh they limited the framerate to protect the CPU.... nice try, but that would be a lie, you can go all out with the frames and your GPU and CPU will take care of themselves via their cooling solutions/internal management. Its how they are designed to work. (for example, as soon as temps go up too much, turbo boost will automatically deactivate, which will lower the temps substantially)
You missed to mention what cooler you are using for your cpu
Any issues with GPU temp or CPU are not Squadrons specific, and are 100% going to be related to your hardware.
It just seems that Squadrons in it's inefficient, unfinished state - Has magnified any existing issues people may have with their systems.
On high end hardware, most modern games wouldn't come close to maxing out CPU usage these days. Squadrons does because it's poorly optimised and has technical issues that aren't present in other games.
Leading to your existing hardware cooling issues revealing themselves.
C'mon EA... Over 630 points for this issue and you're still patching stuff that's minor in most people's eyes. I forced myself to play it for about an hour, in VR and I got nauseous. I've been playing VR nearly every other day, since the Vive Pro was released. NEVER got sick until this game. I don't even know how that's possible since I've played way worse framerate games. There's something about the issue with this game that just makes all other games (with poor framerates in VR) way more playable.
