CPU usage

[FD_DOG]

why is this game's CPU usage always through the roof? I'm already running on the lowest possible graphic settings

[عبدالعزيز محبي]

It means that the game has bad optimization.

Putting every settings to low puts more stress on the CPU than the GPU.
I have a Ryzen 5 2600 and i constantly hover around 50% usage

because the game isn't optimized and it runs on a really bad engine

No problems here and I get 100-120 fps on an i7 11700, 16Gb DDR4 ram, RTX 3070 and the big difference is game is installed onto an SSD.

This isn’t saying anything. Most gamers are running on much less. You’re basically running Intel’s best consumer CPU and a video card faster than a 2080 Ti.

Like I said no problems from me so I'm not really bothered about anyone else.

This is like entering a city council/public meeting discussing ways of addressing the homelessness issue, taking the stand and saying “I live in a mansion. Doesn’t effect me! Lel!’

I'm running an i7 4770k, and a r9 390, with 16GB ddr3 Ram and the game installed on an old 1TB harddrive. I'm using a very old 1920x1080 asus monitor.

I built my pc back in 2014 and haven't upgraded anything since. I'm running everything on very high, with 2x FXAA, and getting around 70-80 FPS, with drops to 50-60 on refinery when there's lots of stuff going on. I generally have 99-100% GPU utilization, and around 20-30% CPU utilization.

My guess would be that running everything on low switches the games prioritization to the CPU, so if you have a decent GPU try increasing the settings. I also use
-dx12 to force the game to run on Directx12, which I've noticed gives a decent fps boost. I've also done a bunch of small tweaks, which you can find by looking up sandstorm optimization on reddit. Most of it is tweaks to the config files, and some regedit changes to force high cpu prioritization (which is probably not helpful in your case).

Good luck on sorting everything out, believe me, it's worth it!

Edit: to clarify, it took me a lot of time adjusting settings and testing things to get the game to run so well, but my hardware is pretty old, and it's definitely worth it in the end.

On a side note, despite how much I love this game and it's developers, I can't deny that it's pretty poorly optimized. I've been getting a constant 60-70 fps on the bf2042 beta on ultra settings, literally better than I get most of the time playing Refinery.

i dont have an FPS problem, it's just that this game always plows through my cpu precent of usage too much, it doesn't make sense when i can run red dead 2 on the highest settings but not this game

It definitely runs a lot better compared to release day

Corse you get that fps, bf2042 looks like a revamped Fortnight game engine with some Bf2 gameplay......
