Wtf is with CPU usage?

[gamz]

Games like RDR2 and Dying Light 2 use around 60-70%, and this one up to 90-100, even in a freakin character creator lol

[Dragonirian]

It's the anticheat

It is well known that From are not great developers in the technical department. Be happy it runs.

To much Dip and needs a lot of Chips. Darn that EAC..

I tried with EAC toggle off, same ♥♥♥♥.

[Raemnant]

Mine reads 58-71

mine's like 40% average I think something might be wrong with your game/computer if you're getting 100% in the character creator lol

How many cores you have?

Ya they didnt even metnion what CPU, for all we know its a quad core which of course would be maxed in a game like ER.

[SHOCKNUTZ]

if your cpu has an igpu, make sure to force your gpu to run the game.

Point is, mentioned games above run really well on my Quad-Core i5 4570, but this one struggles even me locking the game at 30fps. It's just not ok.

I'm playing on a PC with a dedicated GPU. It's a CPU related thing in this case.

Yeah. The code is held together with spit, glue and hope :'D

you may have to use nvidia control panel to set the gpu as the correct gpu if you have nvidia card for example.

There's a lot going on in ER I think thats why the recommended spec in Steam lists a 6 core / 12 thread CPU (8700K) a 4570 is 4 core / 4 threads.

Across all your threads?
On my Ryzen 5 2600, the game only really uses 1 thread, which creates a huge bottleneck in some situations, usually particle-heavy areas. It's tanking framerate in general up to a point, where offline mode or even just a mild overlock gives a significant performance boost (both with EAC bypassed and still running), further proving to me, how single-thread bound this game is. In 2022/current year-argument.
