If you for some reason your machine isn't cooking while just standing in Ramsgate or you just don't care about heavy power draws or shortening the life of your hardware...then this isn't for you. All my cores are maxing out while doing nothing in Ramsgate, the temps are far more then I am happy to allow for gaming/a glorified waiting room to start a game. I totally get Ramsgate is prettier and there are things to do in it while waiting for an actual game, but the power draw alone and heavy cpu usage maxing out all the cores is really okay. While gaming beasts is still moderately better than doing nothing in Ramsgate.

Please give us an option to disable animations in Ramsgate, or whatever else is causing such high constant CPU usage. It feels and sounds as if my machine is now mining bitcoins while standing in Ramsgate..and trust me I have scanned the hell out of my machine to make sure there is no malware or known bit miners (unless the dauntless.exe is one). All cores are maxing out 80% plus usage while standing around and the moment I leave the game, cpu usage is less the 2%(on just 1 core).

Can you please tell me what you have Frame Rate Limit set to in your video settings?

If it's unlimited, then Dauntless will use all available processing power on your machine to improve framerate. To reduce CPU/GPU usage, try setting it to a lower value like 60 or 90.
