Hi @Jaimanmuktadir

100% CPU usage at lobby, tried go into 'Firing Range'. See if it drops.

I once tried Adrenalin 21.7.1 & 21.6.1 and it got me to 100% usage.

I downgrade back to 21.4.1 since it was working fine. After you have downgrade back, it will still uses 100%.

Try restarting your PC, the game and do try to join in to 'Firing Range' , don't join matches .

Because as you are jumping, your CPU will render the whole map hence it will eat CPU again.

(I ran msi afterburner or you can use AMD metrics to see your CPU usage but 21.4.1 seems to be bug, i think)

I ran Apex with almost all overlays enable with OBS and Steam. Never reach 100% usage but will reach 80% on World Edge during drops.

By the way, I'm using RX 470. And they starts to have some micro-shuttering now. I'm not sure why.

I try this too.

@Jaimanmuktadir

It's something we're looking into, but I don't have any other details. Unfortunately, if those workarounds aren't helping, we'll have to wait for an update on this issue.
