Anyway to limit the CPU Usage?

I've been playing the tutorial campaign and my cpu usage is constantly between 60-80. It feels like i'm playing with fire when I play this game. I own a 4790k with a gtx1080 on 1080p medium ( I know i can go high but this game feels like it's ripping itself apart so I don't wanna push my luck). I have no fps issue so far but the cpu usage is worrying. Anyway to keep that down? I can't find the guest limiter in career tutorials.

There is one. In the settings I forget what tab (I just closed the game).

But it definitely exists.

Are your temps ok? If so you should be fine.

My CPU runs at 100% playing this game, it doesn't stutter and stays at 62C so its fine

Thanks. That is what I most worry about, the lifespan for my 4790k. This baby gotta sail me through until intel upgrade the i7 series into a 12 core cpu ;)

Teach me your magic.
Mine never goes above 70% for some reason and the game is at a silky smooth 9 fps..

How many guest do you have in your park? If your rig is at recommanded level like mine the fps tend to drop around 5000 guest with more guest = lower performance. But if you got a top of the line i7 right now you prob start encountering the same problem when you are nearing 10000 guests. I personally like my guest count below 4000.

If your computer is less then the rig, then turn the graphics down and hope to Gabe that frontier update their engine to DX12 because it's just very very ♥♥♥♥ unoptimize code they are running. Also limit your guest to under 1000. ALSO vsync. I tried to play without vsync with the game and the tearing is pretty bad.
