This game is cooking my GPU.

Limiting the FPS doesn't do ♥♥♥♥, in-game nor when I limit it on my PC. Sitting in lobby and temps go up to 75-77C.

This is the only game I've had this problem with.

My friend is running an i9+4090 and he noticed his power draw hitting 400 watts in the lobby. He did say that using the fps limiter for menus dropped it down a bit.

There's definitely something weird going on.

4080 super, temp is 51c. All settings maxed, 1440p, 60 fps cap.
CPU goes to 52-56 12900kf I9 4.2ghz

What GPU are you using? The menu is quite animated.

Yeah, something is not right here.

3080Ti. Sure, it might be animated. But not animated enough for that kind of temp...

It's been mentioned many times by now... Game compiles shaders in the main menu, including lobby, meaning it will use a LOT of resources for a bit until it's done.
Once it's done (the first time can take a few minutes), it's a breeze!

Like most games. I know. I guess you didn't even read about the problem.

same problem

GPU power usage is quite high for my liking even if you lower the graphic settings. Had to limit this game to 40 fps. I only play single player content so that is not a big deal but the optimization could be better.

One thing i like that you can limit the fps to 30 in menus. All games should have this option. it's energy saving.

Certain scenes or commanding AIs in Roguelite mode sometimes will remove the FPS until you alt tab the game's screen. Always monitor your FPS to prevent it from happening

Yeah about that... That's an EXTREME solution for people with really outdated computers. It's very much not to be recommended for the average user, as it completely butchers the game quality

No problems for me using 7700 XT.

running on a 2060 and when i limit the frames to 30 (using the GPU itself and not the in game frame limiter) its running only a bit above heat neutral at like 40c. There are a few missions where its spikes to 60c (like the "rescue your army" mission from the cagnali DLC during the roof fight), and I do see spikes in heat up to like 52c during the end of some missions for some reason, like a large spike as the van is shown and the mission fades out.

So there are some issues but limiting frames does seem to mostly work tbh.
