Original Post — Direct link

A friend of mine and me are currently stuck on a certain round of our campaign because when the Watcher comes together with those singing pink jellyfish to cause havoc on our sub my CPU usage jumps from 60% (on almost all the other maps) to a 100%, turning the game into a slideshow.
I tried eliminating all the moving entities on our ship but it doesn't really help.
I feel really miserable, especially because I changed a thermal paste everywhere I could and lubed all the coolers just a week ago.
Any ways to fix it besides overclocking my CPU?
Maybe there's a way to transfer part of the load to my GPU?
Thanks.

Sorry to hear about the trouble you're having with the game. :/

We have gotten some reports about decreased performance after the latest update (even though, many players are weirdly reporting drastically improved performance), so it's most likely not an issue with your system. Unfortunately we haven't managed to pinpoint what's causing the performance problems yet.

Something that could give us more clues is if you enabled the in-game performance statistics and took a screenshot of what you see when the FPS drops. You can enable it by opening the debug console by pressing F3, and entering the command "showperf" in the console.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience, I hope we can get this fixed asap!
