CPU at 100%, BDO constantly Freezing

Hi Everyone,

So I have a gtx 1080, and a i5 6500 @ 3.2 GHZ CPU and I usually run the game on ~120 FPS @ 2k resolution. On retail everything was fine, never had any problem with my CPU being bottlenecked, However, when I play gamezbd, my CPU constantly spikes to 100% (according to processes tab on task manager) and the game freezes for around 2 seconds. I wouldn't think that my CPU isn't good enough for BDO to be honest, as it worked on retail so well and, according to retail BDO themselves, minimum requirements are a 2.9 GHZ. However, I've tried turning down all the settings, even lowering my own computers resolution to 1080p @ 60 fps, and I still get a problem with my CPU going to 100% and the game freezing. Anyone have any suggestions as to what it could be? Every time my CPU spikes to 100%, I know for certainty it's gamezbd that's causing it, so maybe there's like a hidden setting I'm missing?

 

Are you by any chance seeding? I use to have very high CPU usage until I disabled seeding. The launcher updates are based off a Peer to Peer network. In your launcher settings, uncheck Allow game client seeding.

 

I have always had seeding unchecked.
