"Low CPU usage" & "Fps Drop"

[Ace_Spartan]

The game used to run fine before khaos reign update but not am having constant cpu throttling which is causing constant fps drops too and literally making the game unplayable, just wondering is there any fix around this issue please help i really want to complete the story .

No fix that I know of, but I'm posting here in solidarity. Game was perfectly fine before update and now is unplayable. I submitted a bug on the WB site, but I doubt that is going to do anything.

I'm in the same boat. Online is literally impossible to play as well because of the lag.

Same boat, disabling a bunch of Intel services for me stabilized it enough where it's entirely playable and smooth besides for random fps dips in Invasions. Fatal blows and other in-game cinematics still will randomly chug hard inconsistenly for no apparent reason. CPU usuage is still way too low when I check though, I don't think it's ever gone above 30-40% for me besides when shaders compile or its loading a tower

It's been an issue for people since Takeda dropped. Unfortunately we're gonna have to raise hell it seems.

I'm planning to email that support website that's pinned since the reports on the ticket website about it have been ignored. I suggest everyone who has the issue annoys them about it too over there.

Funny thing is... cinematics work perfectly now. Even the Kitana Kiss Fatality is fluid. And IF the Gameplay is working it is great, however I get Drops to Diashow-Level every now and then and neither GPU nor CPU are really used...

I cleared my steam download cache and restarted the game and quite a few decent matches. It did eventually start to hitch again though. To be clear, I'm talking about dipping from 60 fps to like 40 erratically - not ping or latency issues. I haven't checked on CPU usage or anything yet, but I believe what Tuned is saying in the post above. Sucks that perf has been ♥♥♥♥ since the Takeda update, but for whatever reason, maybe I just wasn't affected by that.

i've had it that some matches are flawless and runs perfectly and others start off with 5 fps for 5-20 seconds and then go up to 60 again. same goes for fatalities. this has been an issue since takeda dropped and i dont know if it's the game or if i've done something wrong

Same here

Most def is the game. So MANY of us have the same exact problem that started at the exact same time.

The only thing we have done wrong honestly was to trust the integrity of their product. Because obviously they stopped caring a long time ago.
