@killcount01Intel I5-65003.2GHz, 16GB RAM, Geforce 1060 6GB, installed on a SSD. Even downloaded latest BIOS patch for my motherboard and it did nothing.

@killcount01 Important question did you play the game before you installed the latest update for windows on the result file you provided it says that windows was installed on 6/16/2020 to there might have been an implication while installing them or more micro updates are happening in the back round that are overwhelming your CPU when you play.
I would recommend installing a fresh windows 10 download with the latest updates as well a reinstalling your drivers to see if this resolves anything.

I found out recently, that setting ingame V-sync to adaptive 1/2 rate helps, it's not like 50% better, but from constant 100% I am at 70-90% and sometimes getting up to 100% but without huge and annoying lags, just fps drops (which is also not fun, but playable). Nonetheless, would be REALLY nice if respawn/EA would at least look into this, and with upcoming update  imply some small patch. Not sure if this is relevant, but when I was near Gib ult or even near Gib at all I've noticed increase of CPU use and fps dropped slightly. 

 

EDIT: I have downloaded latest windows update (which made me blue screen once for no reason), then set fps_max 65 in apex settings, disabled V-sync in game and I've noticed HUGE upgrade, CPU is sometimes jumping to 80% but in most cases it oscilates between 65-90%, no FPS drops at all, no lags, cpu and gpu temperatures don't go higher then 65-70° (not even close to maximum anyways). I really recommend to do win updates, driver updates and I've also added apex as exception for my antivir so it doesn't lag it in the background at all. Let me know if it helped any of you.

@EA_Kent @EA_Kent as i notice the usage is 100% only in lobby ,, and in drop if you change the menu (ex ; store ) the usage go to normal ,, only in lobby in characters ,, and i try somthing if i see 100% and quit the game and start it again the problem solved ,, its happens after every time i close origin ... or start it 1st time

@The-NazguulThis I've noticed too, also legends in lobbywere  loading incredibly long for the first time, not sure what is that about. But like I previously said, installed latest Win update, and all the issues are gone just like that.

@EA_Kent Not sure if that's what you need (I am not an expert) but: update version 2004, quality update .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8.

If this isn't any of the information you needed, you'll have to lead me to where I can find it, sorry Disappointed
