High CPU Utilization - PC Crashes

Hi,

I am unsure if there is a fix for this, or what additional details will be needed to diagnose/repair this issue, however as of the 0.2x patch, the game has started to use up to 91% of my CPU utilization. This in turn will cause the game to be unplayable for a few minutes after a load screen, and if I'm really unlucky, the game will crash, assuming the load screen finishes. Occasionally, a load screen will crash my entire PC instead.

I'd like to note a few things.

1. Like I said, this is a new issue for me as of the 0.2x patch.
2. My CPU temps are normal.
3. GPU temps are normal.
4. GPU Drivers are up-to-date.
5. Windows is up-to-date.
6. This issue is triggered mostly by load screens.

Essentially, the game has become unplayable because of this, which is already frustrating considering how a lot of changes in 0.2x have killed some of the fun I had the first go around. I'm all for suffering while I play a game, but suffering and having to wait to play the game is just... Bad.

I would really appreciate some kind of direction so I can fix this. I've held off upgrading to the next EA packs until I can actually play the game again.

Thank you.

I don't know if this reply is allowed, but I would actually like a GGG response to this. I have searched through dozens of similar posts and GGG has remained silent and won't even acknowledge this issue.

Bump.

Still no response from GGG on this post or any similar posts posted in the past month.
