It’s taken six months, however Dragon’s Dogma 2 PC is lastly fastened due to the newest replace which addresses the frequent random crashes, and extra importantly, the CPU bottlenecking that may tank body charges and make the sport unplayable.
This huge Dragon’s Dogma 2 replace was introduced final week and fortunately didn’t take too lengthy to land, with the complete patch notes posted by Capcom on September 17.

Not will the sport be pushing your CPU to its limits and as an alternative the utilization figures I recorded noticed my Intel Core i7 11700F sit at round 60% as a median. This scales as much as highs of 87% when the motion on display will get intense, but additionally scales down when in cutscenes or much less demanding areas.
Beforehand, the CPU utilization would randomly skyrocket, maxing out all cores in your processor and never relenting till both the sport crashed, or the body price turned so insupportable that you simply had been compelled to restart.
