100% CPU usage & Stutterring

The game randomly sucks up so much CPU & stutters every 3 seconds for half a second.

I dont understand why this game requires so much CPU. Its not like there are 20+ players or AI.

It runs fine half the time when the usage is 80% or below but above that its skippy.

Since current Halloween update the performance got much worse. Tried FullScreen,ReducedBufferring ON but no improvement. ITs not even annoying but getting me killed in game because i am stuck for a second…

Hey there,

Lets go ahead and grab a DxDiag so we can further investigate the problem. Here are the instructions:

  1. Press Windows Key + R.
  2. Type DxDiag and press Enter.
  3. In the DxDiag window, click Save All Information.
  4. Name the file “dxdiag” and click Save
  5. Once you have that made, open the file. You’ll need to copy and paste the contents of the Text document into the post, and put four Tilde (~) marks above the DXDiag. It’ll look like this:
DXDiag goes here

If you have issues pasting here, please use Pastebin and post the link (ex: Pastebin (dot) com/123456).

I’m not sure that this is the entire cause of your issues, but your available hard drive space is very low for the OS to function properly. You want to keep 12-15% free at all times.

Foundout PresentationFontCache.exe service was consuming atleast 25% CPU running in the background.

After disabling it from msconfig & C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\ ,delete all Font*.dat and reboot it.

There is immediate drop in CPU usage & i just played my smoothest OW matches. Honestly had more fun losing now than winning with frequent mini freezes preventing my game inputs.That stuttering was irritating. Hoping this stays.

Tasmanian you should update your Windows the Security Update Service of Windows 7 stopped on 14.01.2020…
