Good morning, I purchased Tom Clancys Ghost Recon Wildlands.
The game works smoothly, without any issues on ultra and it works runs on 60FPS+ without any serious issues, but, the game uses 100% CPU, none of the mentioned methods before in forums doesn't help and I'm not sure what's wrong.
CPU: Intel I5 10300h 2.5ghz x8 cores.
GPU: 1660 ti
Memory: 16GB DDR4
The game installed on SSD
The game itself works perfectly, just not sure, if I should be worried about "CPU usage"? No, any FPS drops or something, just 100% CPU USAGE.
One thing that worked - limiting FPS, but it's a temporal fix, and it's unplayable at 30 FPS when you surely can run it on 60FPS and even more.

Hello FreemanasX, thank you for contacting us about your CPU usage.
In regards to high CPU usage, it can be based on a players system, what components they have installed and what software they have been using or previously had installed as well.
If you use any VoIP applications like Discord or Team Speak, these are known to contribute to CPU usage, as well as any overclocking software and game overlays.
This list is not extensive but please scroll down to the bottom of the list to check if you may be running any of this software in the background that may cause conflicts -
https://support.ubisoft.com/en-GB/Faqs/000025721
You can do this by performing a clean boot, here -
- Press the Windows key and S buttons on the keypad and search for Task Manager,
- Launch the app then navigate to the 'Start up' programs tab
- Disable everything that might be conflicting with the game such as conflicting software
- Restart the computer then try launching the game from Uplay/Epic/Steam
We recommend disabling these when you can to let the game utilise the full performance of your CPU instead.
Another thing you can try is to set the CPU affinity to 4 cores and changing CPU priority to real time, this reportedly helped some players with similar high CPU use.
