Reducing cpu usage
Hi. I'm having some trouble with the game.

My CPU is a bit old, and sadly i can't uppgrade it yet (the same thing it happen everytime, you wanna uppgrade your CPU, you need to upgrade 70% of your computer and it become quickly expensive :p (for a good uppgrade, it would cost me around 700 bucks minium)

Right now, with a nvidia 4070 i'm usually running at around 30-40 fps, and have frequent drop frame.

i know it's a problem with my CPU as it stays at 100% all the time while i play

is there a way to reduce his usage ? i tried to increase the supersampling and everything to maximum to force my GPU to work more to reduce the workload on the CPU, but it don't really work.

i'm not searching for a miracle solution that would suddently increase my FPS to 60, but at least i would like to find a way to reduce the freeze and frame drop while i play.

i tried running it on DX11, full screen, while closing everything else. but nothing seems to work.

Any idea ? thanks

here's my config

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8600K CPU @ 3.60GHz (6 CPUs), ~3.6GHz
16384MB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070

You have some serious issue with bottleneck on top of high CPU usage due to IA and environement from the game.

Try to:

-Rremove Async mode.
-Cap the FPS to 60 (DO NOT USE THE INGAME LIMITER, use the hardware limiter only, from your card drivers. The ingame limiter is bugged and will increase the CPU usage).
-Reduce everything to low and check which one help the CPU.

Yep, already tried all that ^^

i played on the lowest resolution on the lowest settings, but it did nothing :s

I guess i'm gonna have to uppgrade. but i saw a lot of people saying that even with a new CPU, they still have lags and freeze. maybe it's just the game that's buggy :s
