New zone causing RTX 3070 to run fans near 100% constantly

This is a similar bug to what happens during pet battles. Something is going on with the game that is causing higher load and temps in the Emerald Dream zone. Once I leave the zone the fans go down to normal speeds. This needs to be looked into.

Same issue here. RTX 3070 and I can’t pull above 25 FPS, when before the patch, I was regularly hovering around 60 comfortably.

I have a 3060Ti and fans are running around 100% in Emerald Dream. I lowered my graphics down a bit; put shadow quality to Fair instead of Good and Environmental Detail/Ground Clutter to 6 from 8. It helped a bit, but still getting higher temps in Emerald Dream than I do in any other zone in the game.

A 4080, not a 3070, but yeah my hardware is getting blasted in this new zone harder than AFK’ing in Valdrakken which is kinda…strange. I get like 35% GPU usage in Valdrakken, but an erratic 40-99% in the Emerald Dream central hub.

RTX 4080, 5800X3D CPU, 32gb RAM, Win10, Nvidia Driver 546.01, 3440x1440 resolution, ultra settings.

I only have issues in-game in the new Emerald Dream zone and the immediate area around the Dream Portal in Plains.

Fans running nonstop and spiking erratically to 3500+ RPM, and GPU usage bouncing up and down all over the place, CPU around low 20%'s.

I removed all addons and the WTF folder. NO difference.

Was just playing Assassin’s Creed: Mirage on ultra and it was far quieter and no erratic fan spikes.

Using a 3070 too.

Also having a lots of stuttering issues. Especially bad in new zone and valdrakken.

I thought it was the new nvidia drivers but my other games seem to be fine.

Turning settings all the way down as low as they go doesn’t help either.

edit: Rolling back to 537.58 driver fixed the issues.
