It wouldn’t be an issue if your 100% of your CPU was being utilised if your performance was stable, which I understand it is not!
I recall a while back, somebody noticed Windows Defender was interfering with Easy Anti-Cheat and somehow causing the CPU to spike.
I’m not sure if that would explain your issue here, but perhaps worth considering, along with any other Anti-Virus you’re using.
Also, perhaps you have something installed on both PCs that could be interfering with your CPU usage? In which case, I love a ‘Selective Startup’:
- Press the Windows key
- Type ‘msconfig’ and select ‘System Configuration’
- On the ‘General’ tab, select ‘Selective Startup’
- Deselect ‘Load startup Items’
- Reboot your PC
- Launch Vermintide 2 as normal, and see if the issue persists
Failing that, I can see if anybody from Engine is available tomorrow to chat about this with, but with the Swedes celebrating Christmas on the 24th, I may be out of luck!
