Hope I’m not replicating another known thread but I haven’t seen this specific issue, at least not since the actual launch of the game. I’m having some overheating issues which sadly come up only in SE.
I’ve had to limit my FPS from 165 to 60 to prevent my CPU from overheating. Its currently reaching silly tempratures up to even 100 degrees in monoliths. I’ve recently changed my thermal paste which had no impact on this and in other games which are graphically more demanding I’m having no issues with temp and performance. E.g. in Black Desert on Remastered High-Ultra my temps don’t go above 70 degrees with stable FPS.
I’m running an i9 10850k with an RTX 3070 at 1440p. CPU usage shows at 19% only in task manager and around 20% load in CPU core temp. In game graphics settings change nothing.
For me it was fairly okay for the last month, I had to limit FPS from 165 to 75 on my 12900HX + 4800RTX, but just today after they updated the client (and most likely not only it) it restarted my machine again d/t overheating issue. More than that, I started the game again and kept it at menu page, trying to figure out what settings I could cut down more (playing on High settings)… Guess what happened? I had a system temperature alarm saying I’m already above 92°
I’m not sure what they’ve done but it’s definitely needs to be fixed. It wasn’t reaching 90° at the difficult scenarios before this update.
P. S.
Since I limit my FPS to 60 as you guys did, my temperatures were 78° as maximum. I even turned the graphics to Very High - it didn’t make any difference. The key is FPS limitation and only it. Seems like the game still requires some patches in the future but it’s playable.
