100% CPU usage

[Nydelade]

Since season 10 started I've been experiencing this bug where my CPU usage would be stuck at 100% while entering the lobby from the main menu. Makes the game completely unplayable, low fps, constant freezing, etc. Before I could just alt-tab and then it'd stop but since today's balance patch it's back permamently and there's nothing I can do to fix it. I've tried many solutions from google but none of them worked so far. Has anyone else been experiencing this and have you found a way around it? Appreciate all the help I can get.

My specs are:
AMD RX580 (4GB)
Intel i3 10100F
16GB DDR4 (2666Mhz)
Game is installed on an nvme ssd.

EDIT: It seems I've found an imperfect solution. By going into settings on steam, in the downloads section, you can clear all downloads cache. After this launch apex legends and enter the lobby, then just alt-tab out of the game and wait for a minute or so until things calm down and then go back into the game. From experience I can only play one match until I have to do this again because every time I'm back in the lobby usage goes back up to 100% again. If someone knows a better way to fix this I'm all ears.

post your pc specs and gpu drivers

[lmao lol]

you need to wait a few minutes after your shaders will fully cashed

I went back to this game and found the same issue with 100% CPU usage in the lobby with an AMD Ryzen 2600x

Update the graphics driver can solute

Thing is, it doesn't go away no matter how long I wait... and if it did do this, would it hurt to make an indicator or a progress bar to SHOW it's installing shaders like other games do?
It wouldn't make any sense

I added my specs to the post if that helps. Also, I've been told that deleting game cache can help with this issue. I only found ways to do it for origin but not steam, if anyone knows how to clear game cache here on steam please let me know.

Bruh this issue started since the genesis update arrived and more will have this issue update by update.

I've had the issue like this and have seen methods like this and more like:
-Delete EAC and verify it again
-Running the game as admin
-Disable shader cache and turning it back on and delete everything inside the Nv_Cache (only works for Nvidia users)

Nothing works for me and Respawn still didn't care for those who already had the issue since genesis. Instead they just released half-baked skins and a broken Legend to the game. The game is unoptimized and is a shame to Source engine games.

I hear you, I tried all that too but nothing seems to work. Try the method I put in the edit section of this post, might work. I'm very disappointed in Respawn that they'd rather release a new season with lame content rather than actually work on issues that have been there for so long.

It wouldn't make any sense

it also depends on your cpu especially L3 cache, i3 10100f only has 6mb, more L3 cache more faster cpu can cashe shaders

Why should we bother about this? The game runs fine before the Genesis update and S10. The point is, they don't optimize their game which is a shame.
