CPU bottleneck - Please prioritize performance fixes
Hi, Marathon is great, really enjoying the game. I am on PC and have an older CPU (i9-9900k). This CPU *should* be performant enough to not bottleneck the game at 60fps.
However, I am seeing 40-50fps in Cryo Archive, and drops at times in Outpost. Does not change with visual settings, I am pretty confident its a CPU bottleneck. GPU is ~50% utilization, but CPU usage + temps + power draw indicate its nowhere close to full load.
The game is almost unplayable on Cryo at times-- please prioritize fixing CPU usage. Yes, its an older CPU but I have no problem running other modern games, only Marathon.
