This game destroys CPUs.

[Micha]

Unfortunately, we all know by now that Rise of the Ronin is not a good PC port. In fact, it's an extremely bad port.

But the fact that it is extremely damaging to the hardware in the long run is new. The CPU temperatures are higher than ever before with my i7-13700KF. No other game comes close to these catastrophic CPU temperatures. In the long run, this is absolutely not good for the CPU. I don't know exactly what it is. Is it the engine? Is it the optimization? Is it both? I have a water cooling system and to be honest, my PC is usually very quiet. This game makes my PC (RTX 4080/i7 13700KF) swell to the volume of an airplane at startup.

It really is a disaster what the developer has delivered here. This cannot be defended even with all love. No matter how much you like the game. I also like the game in principle. I really enjoy the gameplay. From a technical point of view, however, it's a complete disaster.

Can we expect any improvements here? I do not know. To be honest, I can't imagine it. The developer is known for giving a ♥♥♥♥.

I am really extremely disappointed. I hadn't expected a good port. I was 100% sure of that. But the fact that it runs so badly that it actually damages hardware in the long run is surprising. I have now had it refunded. Steam even took it back after 4 hours. Apparently the problems are also known there.

I really advise anyone in this condition not to use this port. It actually destroys hardware in the long run. Keep this in mind :/

I to have the exact same cpu and graphics card and when running the game on med-low settings at 1440p I to get temps over 90 C at times. Using Core Temp app it mainly sticks around 85 C for the most part. It's constantly jumping from 70 to 85 at most times tho. But I will wait for it to be optimized myself before I play anymore. I do not like seeing my cpu at 90 c plus even if it is back and forth.

As someone that is educated in tech, this is so embarrassing to read. It's physically impossible to damage materials within their reasonable lifespan with temperatures that don't exceed their rated thresholds. And in fact, AMD CPU's are PURPOSELY DESIGNED to run near said temperatures to maximize performance with no risk to the CPU itself. You legitimately have no clue what you're talking about. With that said, this game doesn't exceed normal CPU temperatures for me, so...

is 90 celsius ok? idk as far as i heard as long as the cpu doesn't shut down due to certain safety thresholds, that means it hasn't reached bad tempreture

but still... 90 celsius? i mean i am playing this game (the only one i ever did this for) with headphones on because the sound from the fans is so loud that i cannot hear the game properly. i'm not kidding

You'll need to check what your specific CPU is rated for. For example, the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X (My CPU) is designed to constantly push 95C under load. It can run at 95C all day without any issues, because that's what it's rated for. Simply put, you can't melt something under its melting point, so what OP said is nonsense.

Edit: I should note that my CPU doesn't actually push 95C because I undervolt, and have a beefy top mounted Corsair iCUE H150i Elite LCD XT AIO.

well that's good to hear. my cpu is 7640hs. on the amd site it says max 100 celsius

Nice! So as long as your CPU doesn't push the 100C TJMax, you'll be just fine. And the odds of hitting 100C are very low, considering that processors will generally throttle themselves before that point.

So strange that I haven't had any CPU problems considering my bottleneck is my CPU by a notable margin. Why...?

Genuinely mean that, this isn't a "lol op just has a potato pc lol" response, I'm confused why people with better CPUs than me are having more issues to do with CPU use

Some ports run so oddly

That's the thing... They aren't. OP is fear mongering safe temps. Modern components run hotter and hotter to push out more and more performance. I've even seen people freak out over hitting 60C in games, let alone the 80C+ range they're expected to run at.

I7 2700k tops out at 65 deg, its your PC cooling that's lacking...

maybe, but i don't wanna hear it. as long as all other games without fail bring the cpu temp to max 70 celsius, and only this one brings it to 90 celsius. obviously, the problem is with the game optimization.

This game have a deep problem for sure, i was casually running around Yokohama and my CPU was at 100 % load for a couple of minute (CPU was bouncing around 50 % to 80 % most of the time i played) this never happened in any game i played so far. No wonders ppl see crazy temps.

[Chop]

i7-12700 here, consistently at 88 degrees C, but that's with stock cooling. Installed another fan yesterday, didn't lower the temp but more airflow is more airflow.

[sonycman]

9800x3d, PBO, watercooled, 66 degrees max in Yokohama.
50 degrees in open world.
Absolutely normal temperatures, just like in other games with massive NPC count etc.

That's because the vcache for the 9000 is set below the CCD of course it's gonna run cooler then previous gen X3D chips.

Are you playing without fps limit?

[STOPchris]

The game only seems to have issues with certain CPUs. I have a 13900K in one system and a 7950x in another. It only uses significantly more power (more heat) with the 13900K. The 7950x is fine.

To the people that are attacking the OP, you do not help solve issues by attacking the person pointing out the issue. Hopefully, some of the information that people are posting on this topic can help the developers improve their game.

[STOPchris]

High CPU power being used and high CPU usage on about half of the 8 performance cores. The rest of the cores are not being used. Yes, this game is poorly optimized.
