this game is sending my GPU temps through the roof!

My specs are well above the minimum specs, yet my temps are going crazy high. Anyone else?

Yeah, for me too. I think it might be some common misdesign with Unity-based games. I have similar issues on laptop and also on mobile phone with various Unity-based games. They really like to busy-spin and waste a lot of battery. t some point I suspected they might be mining crypto in the background, but I checked a few - zero network comms. So dunno. Maybe something inside Unity, maybe some common well-established but flawed code from the game itself..

In BF specifically, it's not that bad at the beginning, but after several loops it can get really hard, especially when much more enemies are spawned and/or many FX (think: being stubborn at TimeGauntlet and doing it, say, 10-20+ times in a row). There doesn't seem to be any reasonable limits. Sometimes there are so many things happening that new objects simply don't appear. That's when CPU work is insane and that's when there's the highest chance of freeze, crash, etc. For that reason, if I aim at a long run, I try to avoid TimeGauntlet and similar things that increase enemy-spawning rates and the number of enemy waves per room. Loops though can't be avoided.

Do you guys have the gog version?

I did yes.

I think it's a game issue. It is kinda unoptimized.
And i also think steam overlay contributes a bit (slightly) more compared to the gog version to this. Try disabling that.
Also try capping the fps or undervolting your gpu

Yeah, my GPU goes to +90% usage when I launch it (and my PC is well above the maximum specs aswell), it's really weird

A lot of Unity games don't cap framerate for some reason which could be the case of this game. I just tested with 60 fps limit (via NVIDIA Control Panel) the average temperature of my GPU was around 50 degrees celsius.
