Game hardlocks, CPU heating up like mad

[Vince]

Devs, you messed up bad. The game hardlocks every time now and when it does, the CPU goes absolutely CRAZY and temps rise like mad.

Warning to the players: Don't touch this game again until it's patched or you risk damaging your hardware.

Mine is fine. But I also have proper cooling for my system. Under max utilization it stays under 70c. Temps are never a game issue. It's always system side. Check your voltage and airflow.

Turn off the FPS limiter. It's a known bug that it causes the CPU to run hotter and cause hardlocks. It does it for me too.

My rig is fine and water-cooled. My CPU never goes above 60 degrees. The patched f'ed something up. Cya soon, because I'm sure you come back to this thread to apologize for this version of "git gud" :P

If your CPU was configured and cooled properly, it should never be able to reach temps that could damage the hardware. That being said, yes, the game crashes/freezes and maxes out CPU pretty hard after recent patch. Seen this happen before the last patch but not as often.

Hmm, when I unlock fps CPU goes to 100% utilization, while enabling it keeps it on 80-100 spikes

They'll fix it. Game development is hard.

I decided to add a global FPS limiter on this game to se if it helps. I dont use the ingame one because of the reports.

Sounds like you have a hardware issue.

Old thermal paste.
Paste not applied properly.
Dirty fans.
Poor airflow

to name a few.

What specs does your build have, OP? For this sort of issue, posting your hardware specs could help us determine if it's specific chips or a more universal issue.

Also, have you tried this? I've always run with frame limiter, and had no hardlocks or very high CPU usage. Am running AMD 5 5600.

Edit: More specific info: CPU usage went to ~75-80% across the board in game, from a baseline of ~5-15%. Frame limit of 60, which was being met. All graphics max, with minor exceptions (motion blur, DoF and AA were off). Running around the ship and poking around the Stratagem shop didn't seem to have any increases in usage. Don't have time to test on a planet right now.

This explains why my PC crashed earlier today. That normally never happens. I didn't watch temps but I'm inclined to believe you.

I have to say that my rig did a funny little noice in the intro video that I never noticed before... but after that... smooth like always. I will try it again right now...

I don't notice any utilization differences but I still get my CPU running 3 degrees hotter than normal (70c without the limiter on versus 73c with it on) and I get occasional hardlock bursts that are not present when the frame limiter is off.

Its the new patch...

Had two of two games freeze, then Fans spun up.

People are mentioning possible connection to arc weapon use

My friend had this same issue, and she has a better CPU than I do.

I had her copy my settings, and it took her CPU usage from 70-100% down to 40-60%.

I think render distance may be the culprit? Don't know for sure.

It's not git gud. It's fact. A game can not overheat a system that is properly setup. It's either a voltage or airflow issue that you missed when you built it. The game is just showing it to you. A lot of Motherboards overvolt CPUs now and it causes them to heat up.

The 12th, 13th and 14th gen intels especially. Either learn or don't. That's on you.
