[Olaf]

why in the hell does this game try to fry cpus? Not gonna risk my pcs life because this game wanna try make my cpu act like a chrematorium oven

Have you not set a thermal limit on your PC to keep your CPU from getting that hot in the first place?

Answer to your question:
- Don´t play the game

The update hasn't released yet, it will be out on the 27th. The reason your CPU is hitting 100c is because this game uses AVX2, and active shader compilation happens for a limited amount of time on any new patch or driver update. In any UE5 game that process will spike your CPU to 100% while it finishes.

You're also running a 14900k, one of the hottest and most power hungry consumer CPUs ever released (along with all the other recent Intel CPUs). What cooler are you using for it? Have you adjusted the power profile in BIOS off of any extreme settings, like unlimited TAU duration, or multi-core enhancement?

sorry but you are wrong there, stalker 2 maxed outf or me doesent even max out cpu temp for me, i sit on 70 there, this game is just a mess. Im just uninstalling this dumpsterfire.

Like i said... ANY other game even if it is ue5 not a single problem. Gray zone = try to kill the pc, i know people with even older cpus who have same dumbass issue with just this game so this is a the devs problem

What CPU cooler are you using?

[Sgt_Swing]

i have the same issue {i9 12900k} , in the chopper it maxes out temps/usage. only fix is to tap windows key until the ride is over lol

[KirasiN]

90% CPU usage here on an i7-11700K. Ima ask for a refund, I get like 50-70 FPS on a 2500$ PC WITH DLSS on.

Would have at least been playable if it didn't stutter like mad.

Just to confirm, have you waited until shader compilation has finished? There should be an icon in the top left of the character screen that shows the status.

Yes, I played for 1.5 hours, went back to base and performance was still awful.

I dropped settings to low and it made no difference, that's when I noticed that the game uses 80 to 90% CPU, makes sense that low and epic presets make no difference, and neither does DLSS.

(i7-12700K) Same, while flying helo cpu went up to 92c, i usually look down so it would go down a bit.

Yes, this game and UE5 in general tend to be CPU intensive, especially because GZW uses AVX2 instructions. Unfortunately the 11700K is also known to be a bit of a power hungry CPU (even more so than other power hungry Intel CPU), and sometimes will perform even worse than the preceding 10th gen Intel CPUs.

If you have an nvidia 40-series card I highly recommend enabling DLSS frame generation as it can help reduce load on your CPU with a proper framerate cap enabled. Same with FSR frame generation, but if you have an older nvidia GPU you'll need to wait until FSR frame gen is reenabled, see https://steamcommunity.com/app/2479810/discussions/0/4626981323674781304/

9800X3D here. I just got done playing and my CPU package temp was averaging around 80 degrees with a high of 96. Definitely UE5 games are more CPU intensive as I'm seeing similar type of performance in Stalker 2; however, this game is running my CPU at a higher temp on average.

[Neat]

i7-6700K Same issue. The CPU temp goes insane, I have liquid cooling and no issues with overheating in any other game. I come back from time to time to check if they've fixed it. I still don't understand why it's happening.
