High CPU usage

Post by Besson »

The CPU usage is high (300%) so that the interface does not work properly (eg impossible to select inits by clicking)

What did you select in the Graphics quality parameter at the start of the game?
What is your patch level?

Thanks

I'm put something in the beta to set the frame rate at 60.

Besson do you have a super gaming PC with a high FPS monitor?

I noticed that my PC runs hotter in this game than others. I just changed my setting to fast from fastest. The manual doesn't give any explanation about the graphics quality settings such as simple, good, beautiful etc. I'd love an explanation of those so I can pick the right one.
Thanks.

I have read somewhere that Fantastic is actually better for GPU. Perhaps I am mistaken.

You are absolutely correct. I searched Fantastic and found a thread about it. I changed my setting to Fantastic and it made an unbelievable difference! My PC is now cool vs. very warm.
Thank you so very, very much!!
