[2022] High cpu usage

Hey there @NoBodyCheating!

I understand that the Ubisoft Connect Launcher and R6S use 100% of your CPU load. Could you please let us know if Vsync is enabled?

Hello @NoBodyCheating, thank you for your reply, we have a few workarounds that may help with this issue - could you please try the following >>

• Set vsync to 60Hz, lock the FPS to 120 - OR - deactivate Vysnc completely and lock the FPS to 120

>> Inside R6 menu: Options -> Display -> Refresh Rate
>> Nvidia control panel: Manage 3D settings -> Global Settings -> Vsync -> Force On
>> AMD: Catalyst control center -> Gaming -> 3D Application Settings -> Wait for vertical refresh -> Put the slider "Quality" on "Always On".

• Deactivate other software from running in the background such as Discord, or any RGB, or overlay software, as they also contribute to your CPU usage

• Finally, please read our blog article about this and contact us with the information requested in the article, if the issue continues after following the two steps above > https://www.ubisoft.com/en-gb/game/rainbow-six/siege/news-updates/7MPHeuO6hPcy49Mdc3rbDg/processeur-100

@NoBodyCheating Sorry to hear that those workarounds did not help! Please let us know the following information:

• Mouse DPI
• Mouse Polling rate
• Is v-sync (and g-sync if supported) on or off?
• Are there any second applications open during the game (streaming, recording, chat, etc.)
• Is it possible to extract a pattern of gameplay when the issue happens?
• Is it before or after any specific events?
• Are there any specific maps or Ops selected where the issue happens more often?

Please also provide a screenshot of the Task manager processes during the game when the issue happens.

Thank you!
