    Possible fix for high cpu/stuttering/lag/everything.

    I got this idea from commodorez so thanks. This has worked for all my problems with the game. Give it a try and see if it works for you. I have not had any crashes, high cpu, stuttering, graphic flicking, or falling through the floor problems for the last 6 hours. Please let everyone know if this fixes your problem(s).

    Navigate to C:\Users\(what ever your pc name is\My Documents\My Games\Tom Clancy's The Division and open the file called graphic settings.cfg. Its to say "Windows cannot open this file", check the box "Select a program from a list of installed programs", then click WordPad and click ok.

    Now find and change these settings

    bloom = false,
    postfx = false,
    raa = false,
    ["reduce latency2"] = 0,

    Alternative method. Please note that this will change your graphics to lowest possible settings (set this way for my testing purposes). You will need to change your graphics back to what you had after launching the game. Changing the graphic settings may or may revert back the fix.
    Copy and past the following over everything inside "graphic settings.cfg" Starting with { and ending with }

    {
    allowedTearingFast = 0,
    allowedTearingSlow = 1,
    ["anisotropy quality"] = 0,
    bloom = false,
    ["bloom dirt"] = true,
    brightness = 0,
    ["chromatic aberration"] = false,
    ["distant envmap"] = true,
    dof = 0,
    ["extra streaming distance"] = 0,
    indoor = true,
    ["lens flare"] = false,
    look2 = 0,
    ["max anisotropy"] = 0,
    maxFramerate = 0,
    ["num spot shadows"] = 1,
    ["object detail"] = -0.5,
    ["parallax mapping"] = 0,
    ["particle quality"] = 0,
    postfx = false,
    raa = false,
    ["reduce latency2"] = 0,
    ["reflected objects quality"] = 0,
    reflections = 1,
    ["shadow distance"] = 300,
    ["shadow quality"] = 1,
    ["shadow resolution 2"] = 0,
    sharpen2 = 0.7,
    smaa = 0,
    ["snow particles wind"] = false,
    ["spot shadow resolution"] = 0,
    ["ss reflection3"] = 1,
    ["ss shadows2"] = 0,
    ["ssao quality 2"] = 0,
    sss3 = false,
    ["streamer dedicated budget"] = 64,
    ["streamer memory fraction"] = 0.75,
    temporalaa2 = 2,
    ["terrain texture lod"] = 350.338,
    ["terrain texture quality"] = 1,
    ["terrain vertex lod"] = 20,
    ["ui blur intensity limit"] = 0.3,
    ["ui screen darkening"] = 0,
    ["view scale"] = 1,
    vignette = false,
    ["volumetric fog4"] = 3,
    }


    Save the changes and have fun playing. Let us know if this has helped and let your friends know. Lets spread the word if its worked.

    I'm glad it helped at least one person. If anything comes back update us as to what it is but if this at least fixes high cpu I think a lot of people will be much happier.

    Launched game, tried DZ. Crashed as always, tried the quoted thing. Played more DZ, for 2h+. That's the longest DZ session I got ever. Maaaaybe it's fixed. Gotta do more testing tomorrow.

    Hello mate! I tried this and "voila", seems to work. I could play for four hours without any problem. Perhaps it is early to say that it has been solved, but for now it works wonderfully.

    Thank you very much for the contribution. You have made my day.

    Greetings from Spain.

    Not helping... Find another way

    That didnt work out for me... I find a way to get it done... Maybe a few of you guys is helped with this! (Sorry, my english is bad...)

    JUST turn down your resolution... 1280 or something like that, then go up again on your normal resolution 1920x1080 f.e.
    After this little change it worked out for me... It runs totally normal. This game is a Bug-Fiesta
