Original Post

So i (new player) started today to play dauntless. Did the tutorial and the first quests in town for some NPCs but the game could not find a match for me to play. I restarted the game and it crashed. Sent the crash report as the game asks and clicked restart. The game now runs with 100% cpu and 80% gpu usage.

Weird is, before the update the game was running fine.
If someone could give me a light it would be much appreciated.

We are actively investigating this, and have noticed an increased # of reports of FPS issues (along with GPU and CPU usage) since 0.9.1. Thank you for your patience as we work through this! Also tracking here: https://trello.com/c/Y0l6wjXq/33-high-gpu-and-cpu-usage

Tried support on their website, tried Twitter and megathread here on reddit and i was completely ignored.

Hey, I am sorry about that <3 We are actively investigating this, and it seems to have become a lot more widespread since 0.9.1. Hopefully will have answers for you soon.

It's not just you, that's the current state of the game. This problem was introduced in 0.9.0, more than a month ago. Fixing it doesn't seem to be a priority.

We are working on this actively and think that we may have uncovered part of the issue. We will be tracking updates here as well https://trello.com/c/Y0l6wjXq/33-high-gpu-and-cpu-usage
