Hello there! Thank you for reaching out with this. I'm sorry to hear that Siege is causing your CPU to run at 100%! Do note this is something our team has been aware of and are looking into. A few players reported that the steps listed below have helped them:

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 other applications (like Discord or Team Speak 3) are know to contribute to this increase in the CPU usage. Please try to have them shut down during gameplay.
