[2022] cpu high usage

Hello @klondike_wolf,

Welcome to the discussions! I'm really sorry to hear that you are experiencing high CPU usage at the moment.

Can you please provide us with your full PC specs, so we can have a look? Secondly, can you please perform all of the troubleshooting steps listed in this article? This will help you to eliminate any potential software conflicts that can lead to this issue.

Many thanks and if you have any additional questions, please let us know.

Thank you for the update, @klondike_wolf!

I'm sorry to hear that the steps provided didn't change the situation.

Can you please confirm if you're playing on a desktop PC or on a laptop?

Thanks for letting us know that you use a desktop PC, @Klondike_Wolf!

Have you tried altering the priority of For Honor via Task Manager? A number of players have reported that the following steps helped to resolve high CPU usage in their own game:

• Open Task Manager
• Go to the Details tab
• Right-click For Honor, and choose Set priority > Low
• Now, right-click For Honor again, and choose Set affinity
• Untick the last processor core from the list

Could you give these steps a try to see if this helps with the high CPU usage?

Thanks!

Hey there, @xvesber! Sorry to see that you received this error when trying to change the priority for the game. Just to check, if you try to run both the game and Ubisoft Connect with administrator rights, does it allow you to change those settings in the task manager? Here's how to run as admin.

Let me know how it goes!

@xvesber Hi there!

Thank you for providing this screenshot, sorry to hear that the issue persists and your Ubisoft Connect browser won't load either.

There may be some underlying issues we're unable to identify without checking some system files for you. We can see that we were able to take a look at these for you previously, would you be able to update your support case with your current situation, so we can continue to cross-reference this with your system information?

Many thanks.
