A thread was made I think 2 years ago about a 100% CPU usage bug with siege and there has been no update on it for a while now and I still have this issue - the only way I can temporarily fix this is by turning v-sync on in Nvidia control panel settings which limits my FPS to only 60 when I usually get about 150 not capped. If I do the recommended thing of capping to 60 in the game settings this makes the game tear all the time and freeze which makes it almost unplayable. I just wanna be able to play the game without thinking that its gonna fry my PC in the process. I have met the reccommended minimum requirements for siege so that isn't the issue. You would think that with how many people that have this issue that Ubisoft may do something about it but no and it's really a shame to see they don't care about these issues for the groups of people that have them. Could someone please find a way to fix this so I can play my game without killing my PC. Sorry to come off angry its just annoying not being able to play one of my favourite games right now.

Thanks for reading,
Please reply soon,
Alex.

Hey EliteAlixx,

Sorry to hear you are having the 100% CPU usage issue.

I have provided some solutions below that have worked for other players:

- 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".

- Some applications (like Discord or Team Speak 3) are know to contribute to this increase in the CPU usage. Please try shutting these down and any other background applications you don't need running during gameplay.

- Setting CPU affinity to 4 cores and changing CPU priority to realtime also helped some players.

I apologise for any inconvenience caused from it but hope some of these suggestions help out for you.
