chickennoodler Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Name: CPU go bye bye REPRODUCIBILITY: Turn on game. Playing normally triggers high GPU consumption. How??? SCREENSHOT/VIDEO: none. Task bar app shows consistent GPU consumption spiking during normal play since after update. Log: attached Additional info: Game lagged and eventually lagged and crashed Anyone else actually seen this bug after update? I have it, but literally no idea what is going on. _log_proxy_latest - Copy.log crashdata - Copy.mdmp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kubik Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 What is "high" by your definition? I think 5% of my CPU is extremely high when consumed by BF. What kind of spikes? Garbage collector type of spikes? IO wait type of spikes? Are you on ancient OS? Like Windows 7? And about the crash I have no clue why it crashed in "Selection Donut", or even what that "Selection Donut" is 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's particularly bad and laggy at the start of Insane God expert. Using a windows 7 Laptop that was "upgraded" to windows 10. I have no idea wtf happened, but it is consistently using ridiculous cpu usage %. since the recent update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kubik Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 I believe these 3 to be BattleForge on Insane god map. What I was trying to point out is that CPU performance is relative, as you can see the CPU driver did not even recognized it as an "important" load (maybe because windows is swapping it between cores too much)), so CPU driver decided to keep CPU frequency low at 2,68 GHz instead of 4+ GHz. You have 4 core CPU so relative percentages, are 1 main core + less than a core, because wast majority of things is happening on an single core, even modern games did not find solution to this limit. (Yes there are examples of games offloading quite significant chunks of work to other cores, or having so many independent tasks that they can create illusion of actually utilizing all the cores, and not being limited by single core performance) Did you try after yesterday's patch? there was some change that could help on Windows 7, but you said you have upgraded to Windows 10, and so far no one else reported any issues, on windows 10. If 39% of 4 cores is "ridiculous cpu usage %", what CPU usage did you have before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scan PC with antivirus. 2 days ago I've had same problem and reason was Instsh_x64.exe. It's miner trojan that eats PC resources like crazy.

It's a windows 10 laptop though....... guess it's still feels it's a Windows 7 laptop at heart. -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
