Far Cry 4 CPU 100%

[Warmanskyrim]

One of the cores is peaking 100% if I could get it lower it can fix it, but is there anyway to fix this permanently?

One core is maxing out while the rest sit more or less idle?

Check the "affinity" of the game's .exe via Task Manager: right-click on the game .exe in the "Details" list (or "Processes" on Win7 and older) and go to "Set Affinity." Make sure it's set to use all of your cores (or maybe leave it off of CPU0, as that's the core Windows tends to use more than any other).

Never mind I found out that the issue was cpu 3. It was hitting 100% and caused stuttering. Idk if there is a way to fix this on startup however.

Do you mean it started up using only CPU3? If that's the case, snag Process Lasso and add the game's .exe to the list with all cores checked.

Far cry 4 will use 3 to 4 cores up to a highish degree but only one core will hit 100% if you want to stop this then use vsync if it runs over 60FPS or a fps limiter like from afterburner to restrict fps to a level below where the core hits 100%
(or just raise graphics quality in the game)
