Suddenly high GPU usage

[Werschaf]

Since a few days the CPU load of Niche has increased massively.

My existing savegames and also the new ones generate a CPU load of partly 80 - 90% on all 4 cores of my i5-3570k (3.6 GHz). This causes other things to start stuttering in the background and the game has performance issues as well. The problem occured a few days ago, so it's not a patch issue (?)

I'm playing on release branch, Steam version, Windows 10. I tried reinstalling the game on a diffrent drive. Nothing changed.

A few weeks ago the game ran without any problems and the CPU load was in a normal range where there were no problems. I observed the CPU load with the following programs: openhardwaremonitor task manager ProcessExplorer The high load is definitely due to Niche.

Other high performance games are running just fine. The problem only occurs while playing niche.

I really hope someone can help me with my Issue. Niche is one of my favourite games.

Thanks for reading.

You might want to ask the devs by using @. That usually gets a reply.

I would help you if I knew how...

The only comfort I can offer is that the issue went away as it came in my game. Only lasted a few days. Came back. Disappeared fully.

It's nice to hear that you had the issue too. Thank you for your help!
I do you mean Devs oder Admins?
Can you quote/tell me the names? I really dont want to bother someone.

@Werschaf
Thanks for reporting and sorry for the trouble!
Could you maybe send me your save file? That would help to figure out what the problem is.
