One line summary of your issue
100% GPU Utilization

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
Whenever the game is running it uses up 100% of my GPU. I've tried enabling v-sync in game, forcing it on through my drivers. Nothing works so far.

Steps to reproduce the issue
Play the game with the latest AMD Drivers on an R9 290x.

Yep, seems i have the same issue on a RX480 plus insane FX8350 CPU Temps at 73°C no other Software comes even close to that.

PS: Nothing is Overclocked - all runs Stock Speed.
PPS: Had 3 Crashes in the first Mission after the Tutorial probably all for Overheating.
Have uptuned my cooling so the CPU runs now at 60°C and so far it seems stable.

Same over here. I only have a 660TI but that should be enough to run the game well enough. As soon as I load into the campaign map, GPU usage spikes to 98-100% regardless of lowest or highest settings.

The game killed my 390 Nitro. Damn pissed. My first dead GPU in two decades of gaming.
My graphics card did go bonkers in the menu. No crash, no freeze. The card just died. Fans not moving anymore and so on.

Well I put playing the game on hold until the issue gets fixed. I was looking at the stats of my hardware and everything is running at full power, as soon as the games does anything, even just playing a cutscene. It feels like it just renders with everything the hardware can provide, a framelimiter would be a good first step.

Yeah, there is something wrong with the graphics use on this game.

I have a 1080, still 100% usage, burning two I7 4.2 cpu cores at max speeds, this game needs to be optimized.

edit: nevermind, windowed mode with frame limiting does run at less than 100% gpu but also still runs hot as hell. I have to undervolt my gpu to play this game for any length of time.

I am running the game on an Alienware 17 R4, with Nvidia GTX 1070 GPU, a 32 gig memory and a 16 gig graphic card, why the hell is it pushing my GPU to such high heat levels!. Had to stop playing after 20 mins due to high heat level warning. Never had a game do this, Farcry 5 runs on Ultra and never gets this hot nor do any of my other games, The Game is no way heavy on graphics so i do not understand why it doing this.
YOU NEED TO SORT THIS OUT NOW!!!!!!

It's clearly not limiting properly, or trying to display far more than it should. This game is not graphically complex enough to have this kind of impact naturally. Hopefully it's something they already have a line on fixing.

What i do not understand is why this was never picked up in testing the game, or did they play it in a fridge freezer, wait all this time to play this, now can not play it with CPU getting so hot. very disappointed to say the least.

Whatever it is, it might not be Frame related. I managed to limit it to 61 fps or lower and it still initiates nuclear fission in my computer case. It might be something in the background.

All I know is that I've run gpu bitcoin miners than ran cooler than this.

So, I was able to get my GPU to stabilize at 20% when loading (game still won't load, but that's a whole different issue.) It was pinging the red to 100% and climbing to Dante's Inferno at first on a R9 380 4GB.

What I did:
Forced VSync at the Graphics Card Settings level. (Still 100% GPU)
Turned on VSync in BattleTech. (Still 100% GPU).
Enabled Window Mode. (Immediately dropped to 30-ish% GPU).
Re-enabled Full Screen 1. (Remained in the 21% GPU range.)

I'm not sure why or if that'll help, but that at least got my GPU from stop melting. Game still won't load and I've read ALL the little tool tips.. but.. at least I'm not helping warm my house anymore with the GPU.
