saw the temp at 84-97deg while my boy was playing...
14700kf
4070ti super
tecware vxl casing
8fans + a 240mm aio arctic liquid freezer III
only this game will become so hot...searched abit online seems quite a few ppl with this issue...
not sure whether to change cooler just for this game......
thoughts and suggestions anyone for a fix?
I have dogshĂt CPU temperatures for this game too. The latest update increased CPU usage as well for the bot faction because of their increased intelligence. Devs claim that players will 'take a small performance hit' but that's bullshĂt because I got my fps halved instead when things get intense. This game is just brutally CPU intensive and with every patch adding new enemy variants the CPU usage is just going to climb.
I hit 103 degrees peak without AC on when playing against the squids before (urban environment map) until I did some thorough PC cleaning 2 months ago and the temps dropped back down to 'decent' levels but then my CPU is a little old already and a known hot chip. Even after doing that my CPU averages late 70s to 80s in this game. CPU usage and temps scale with difficulty levels because the higher you go, the more enemies spawn and I always play on the hardest.
I think the kernel based anti-cheat is also contributing to the high CPU usage as well. City biomes hit the CPU harder too with average fps dropping by at least 10-15. Every update that drops new enemy types is going to inevitably run worse, it's a known trend for this dev. Used to have much better fps back then and now it's just not as smooth anymore. Really hope they can optimize their game better.
