Thanks for making my CPU hit 95c
What the hell is the game doing on the CPU? am I bit mining for SEGA?
or is this Denuvo?

Might be Denuvo but who will complain

I dont think denuvo is wasting THAT much power. especially if properly implemented.

Whats your specs?

Very little chance that's causing that kind of issue.

My CPU is using 3% at most and hitting 49C while playing. Might try cleaning the dust out.

Idk if it's denuvo personally I didn't have any problems my temps were actually quite low compared to when I play other games

It's probably Denuvo. You should have been here last night with the flood of stuttering/crashing issues. The game exe is 396Mb in size, not normal.

maybe also some things were compiled into the exe for optimization of really often used assets to be faster, which would obviously increase the exe size.

if denuvo was even remotely properly included it should primarily trigger on load screens and what not where performance isnt critical

Run something like HWinfo64 or check your task manager to see how many of your cores are being used & how much. If you're nearly at 90-100% load on all cores:

1. your CPU may be the bottleneck
2. getting to 95c would only make sense if you had a 12th+ gen intel CPU
3. if you don't have a 12th+ gen intel you may have a thermal issue & need to improve thermal dissipation for the CPU
4. even at 100% load on all cores it shouldnt get that hot (only 12th gen & 13th gen intel do)
5. if its just this game actually using like 70%+ cpu power then ♥♥♥♥ me what the ♥♥♥♥ are they using all that processing power for if its only 60 FPS?!?!?!?

Probably Denuvo, I got the game up to 12 FPS at one point. Pretty impressive for a Denuvo title.

If I wanted to shill Special K, don't you think I'd be showing the game performing better?

Actually, no, lol. The joke is this damn laptop.

Ryzen 7 5700U with some kind of integrated graphics from hell.

The only thing it has going for it is even at 100% load, it only hits 57C.
