Wildly variant resource usage (CPU & GPU)/Performance Problems
Product: Star Wars: Squadrons
Platform:Steam-PC
Please specify your platform model. PC
What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? NerscyllaDentata
Are you playing in VR? No
Which part of the game is the issue happening in? Dogfight
What were you doing when the bug occurred? Step by Step detail is helpful. Loading into a match (any mode) or the hangar.
Where did this issue occur? Please include menu name or in game location. All across the game.
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 10/02/20 - Consistent
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
How severe is your issue? Can play, but it's highly frustrating
What happens when the bug occurs? PC resource usage is wildly inconsistent. Sometimes when entering a hangar or mission GPU and CPU usage spikes to 100% and framerate slows to below 30fps. Other times visiting the same map or location (sometimes immediately after) runs fine. CPU and GPU max at 40% and the game runs at 60fps without issue. The entire mission or area will remain consistent when things are fine. When the game runs slow, there will be an occasional recovery to high FPS but rarely stays. I can tell during the opening cinematic of a match how it will be.
What do you expect to see? There's no visual difference when it runs smoothly vs when it it is now.
Which ship were you playing? If not applicable, just answer "no" or "none." No
What components were you using? Varies
Which customizations (if any) were you using? Varies
Ticket explains it all, there's no rhyme or reason for the increase in resource usage and I have no idea why it varies so much.
