CPU usage 100% loading screens/town

Issue of CPU maxing out and overheating/crashing still around after latest .1.0b update. All loading screens,in town cause instant 100% usage. Tried every single option and setting off and on including disabling multi threading changing to dx11 nothing seems to help.

Windows 10 v. 22H2
Intel i7-10700K
RTX 3070

Tried Nvidia update prior to Release and the update that came out on Dec 5th for PoE 2 and both had the same issue.

If your cpu is overheating that's your pc's problem, not the game's. A CPU is designed to handle 100% CPU usage for extended periods of time. Worst case is their boost clock goes does as they heat up but should never become unstable. Check your cooling.
The issue only happens in PoE 2 nothing else no other game or app including PoE 1 but thanks for input. BTW game runs fine in zones its just loading screens and sometimes in town.
