the game uses only one CPU core

[#rich_soursoul]

I watched videos where people play with the same setup as mine and get under 60 fps, when I have 30 and slips to 25. turned on afterburner and noticed that the game uses only one single core, and the rest stupidly do nothing. all the solutions that I found were related only to intel, I have R5 2600. help good people

it shows you that with the overall system usage your core 0 usage reached 100% and this way bottleneck the whole system.

so far this game spawn up to 12 threads and directx 12 use all available cores at the same time.

clean up your background apps (also deinstall rtss since it is a performance killer at this CPU) but so far we know 2000 series CPUs peform bad with this game.

i'm already tried to disable core 0 via task manager but it didn't help if you talk about it

there is not much you can do than to clean up the background apps and tweak windows to offer the game more cpu cycles.

deinstall third party antivirus, deinstall rtss if installed, close any background app you do not need .

system tweaking:

Open regedit.

Navigate to \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options
Check if already exists a eldenring.exe key (if yes you need to delete the whole key to eliminate all Settings made by other software).

Right click on "Image File Execution Options"> New> Key

Name the new Key
Eldenring.exe

Right click on the eldenring.exe key >New>Key>

PerfOptions

Select "PerfOptions" then right click>New>DWORD 32bit

name it CpuPriorityClass > set it to 3

this enable high CPU priority for the game
