High cpu usage (90%)
Mine pc specs are: Pentium G4400, gtx 1050 and I have 8 gb ram. Game sometimes crashes and when I enter task manager cpu usage is always high. Any possible fixes ?(No buy better pc comments)

if not allready at the lowest quality settings, then no, no fixes.
just your bad processor then

Your CPU works at its limit I guess, I don´t know a fix for that either than buying a new cpu.
The game is pretty intense on the CPU, so hearing it hit 90% doesn't surprise me.

Yet despite this, Dark Souls III runs better on my machine than Black Desert Online does...Hmm...

Anyway. I think there might be some options regarding your graphics card or whatever that might help override some things in Dark Souls III. I don't know what specifically, and it's pretty vague, but that's about all I can think of.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that Dark Souls III is all that you have open?

Edit: So I went to back up my save, and I saw in the Roaming folder for Dark Souls III I saw a GraphicsConfig.xml or something like that. You might want to try messing with that a little bit? Assuming it doesn't break your game or get you banned, that is.

Takes a lotta power to render all that.

Especially the jiggle physics.

The only physics that matter.

I had to look up that CPU, I didn't know they still made Pentiums. I presume this is a model intended for modern business solutions like playing solitaire or a hidden object game without having to close Office so your boss won't catch you procrastinating?

Well you do have the right socket, you could get anything from an i5 6500 to an i7 7700k depending on your budget.

You might need a better CPU. The AMD FX 9590, or whatever it's called, is pretty good.
