My a64 x2 5000+ runs 100% on both cores too. It does play well enough though. I do get rather big fps fluctuations but my cpu isn't that good so I think it's normal that it drops when the cpu can't keep up.

On the other hand if a E8400 is running 100% there's a good chance this might be a bug that's hindering the performance, rather than a sign of the game using all resources properly.

it might be an AMD issue

[Kiddeth]

well i am happy that you are having fun. but this dosent really help me or anyone else much.

I have a

3.0ghz Dual Core

2gb ram

ATI x1900 XTX 512mb



I was getting the same problem while watching through my ATI Control Panel....it was draving the temperature of the graphics card mad with overheating.



I took off the setting of "Frame Buffer" and I can EASILY now play without any worry of temperature going into the "red".

ok ill look into that

Just to be clear, it is completely abnormal to have a game max out all cores at 100% like this is doing. I just bought the game tonight and played with no crashing, but there is clearly a problem solely with the game itself. Most peope do not have killer cooling systems like some of us and their CPUs cannot handle 100% stress testing for more than 1hr. The only reason AMD users are having the most issues is simply because the proc combined with the stock cooler is not capable of handling that kind of stress.



Us Intel users are having the exact same issue. If I did not have a Prolitech Megahalems in a HAF cooling my quad, I would likely be in serious trouble like so many here are.



And for the record, my game runs "perfect" as well. Those of us who's game isn't crashing doesn't make us superior, so stop poking your chests out. This game is going to seriously reduce the life of your CPU regardless of whether you're crashing or not if you play it for as long as most of us are going to play this game (it is such an amazing game).



But what mongrel would run Prime95 torture on their CPU for 400 hours? Mine could pass it - my system is as stable as a rock. But that doesn't mean I'm dumb enough to do it and seriously reduce its lifespan and go begging to burn the chip up either.



Well that is basically what the game is doing to everyone's system right now. Its running a constant torture test on your CPU. Its not good and not healthy for it. This should be their highest priority fix at the moment.



Aside from that......major technical issue.....gawd its an amazing game.

Hello,



Same here, both core locked at 100% constantly. But my computer didn't crashed yet (knock on wood).



System Specs:

Intel dual core @ 3Ghz

memory : 3 Gb

OS : XP SP3

GC : ATI Radeon HD 4890 @ 1Ghz



I hope Bioware developpers will found a solution quickly

[andysdead]

it only hits 100% CPU usage when i restrict it to less than 3 cores for me. My CPU is a Phenom X4 9550 running at around 2.4 ghz overclocked.

This is not true. I agree with you that the game should not be taking all of the CPU it can get and that it is not a good idea to stress the CPU like this (it's a waste of electricity), but every system should be able to sustain this. You don't need a killer cooling system -- if a machine cannot sustain maximized CPU usage for prolonged periods of time, there is something wrong with it.
Note that while games generally don't use 100% of the CPU, there is a lot of software that does (video encoding, compression/decompression, compiling, etc.). The CPU is not harmed by this and the system should be able to keep it up indefinitely. That said, they should definitely fix this issue as it will be rather annoying during summer (right now, I can just turn down the heating to account for my laptop ).

[AngelofDeth99]

I don't think DA is actually "using" all CPUs anyway. Just task manager says it is. I say this based on my CPU temperature, and the fact I only lose about 10 fps disabling one core, and I only have a dual core system. The standalone character creator also claims 100% cpu usage as well, even when just idling.

[Chromie]

If you tab out then DA causes your Processor to use 100% idk why but it does.

[yabbering_yeti]

It does seem odd to me though, when alt-tabbed its at 100% - But the PC can run fine. I can browse and do whatever, without slowdown. Usually if something is using 100% the rest of the processes can't get any processing time in and the system becomes very slow indeed. How is this even possible? Since my first PC, a 486, I haven't seen a system act like this when something is using 100% CPU. Is it a false 100% report?

Disabling one core doesnt really hurt performance as much as you think it would if it were truely needing that extra processing power.

Usually, you can run a game on the highest settings (mas AA and all) and the CPU will become less consumed, as it has to wait on the GPU as it begins to struggle - not in this case, my cpu is 100% all the dam time.

I mean 100% from the very start .... 100% at the EA intro movie? THE INTRO?!? wth

I have a single dual core processor, i set the affinity and still got a crash after about 10 minutes of playing...i think i've tried everything.

[macayle]

i only have a EG6750 2.67 with 4g ram and window7 (64) it does spike at 98 when loading then goes down to a nice 60-68% range

you know that's a really good point...  if it's delivering a false 100%, it might be tricking the system into not allocating enough resources to the game, thus causing all the slowdown problems everyone's been having.

I have a 2,66 ghz i5 processor and have the same Issue.

Got the same problem. Whenever i start the game it takes 2 mins and i got 100% cpu, and then its 100% on all cores. have tried all settings but no change.

no other games i got uses so much cpu.. only flight sim x manage to use 70-90% at all max settings.

normal cpu use is from 1-4% at desktop and 20-40% in most games.

currently running DA with every setting at max in game, strange thing is that everything was fine yesterday...

system spec:
Win 7 64 bit
Nvidia 260 gtx
6 GB ram
550W psu
Core 2 Quad 2,4GHz

Try setting the affinity to core 0 mate i run a amd 4800+ and it runs at 100% when i set the affinity to one core it drops to 69-80%

[atom1cs]

I am experiencing the same issue, 100% CPU, but in game, it's become a bit choppy and shouldn't be.



Nvidia 295 GTX

Intel 3.2Ghz Core 2 Duo

4 Gigs of ram

Striker II NSE mobo



Is there a fix for this yet?

[Titius.Vibius]

Unfortunately no fix yet, but hopefully a patch is really being considered to address this problem. Man I had to buy a new cpu cooler just for this game because the fan noise was unbearable when I was still using the stock cpu cooler for my athlon 7750.



But its still stable though although I had to quit every two hours because of the lag times when loading area transitions.

[DarkEvolved]

My duel core heats up the system by like 10 to 20 degrees, signifigant if you ask me. It ends up hovering around 132 degrees f. With emergency shut off set at 145...so its dangerously close to overheating. Both cores always end up 100% and it takes like 20% of my Ram while playing. I do hope like some of you, there will be some sort of fix....

[OH-UP-THIS!]

Purely for comparative ideas, My system runs @65%(that's around), I'm a system builder so understanding the hardware is kinda crucial, however the only gripe I have with this software is the ever increasing load times(between area transitions).
Hardware consists of: Asus M4N78PRO, AMD Phenom2 955X4, 8 gigs of ram, GTX 285(nvidia),1.64 TB of HD space(partitioned into several drives), and finally 850W Zeus powersupply. I'm not going to go into all the parts and pieces unless specifically asked.
Oh and load times, if I'm starting from a fresh state......3-5 seconds at the most!

Nearly forgot the all important OS, Windows7/64bit.
