CPU usage 100% in the client menu and on servers

What is the issue you’re having?

Hello, I have been experiencing a problem for several months. Fivem has been using 100% of the CPU, whether when launching the client or when I move to different parts of the map on several servers, causing FPS drops.

What have you tried already to fix the issue?

I have already tried reducing the processes on my computer, enabling application priority and updating my drivers, but nothing changes.

What server did you get this issue on?

Lot of Freeroam and Roleplay servers

I can buy a newer CPU but if that’s not the problem, I don’t want to waste money.

Logically speaking, if your CPU is maxing out, you tried to squeeze all the performance out of it already and it didn’t help, what’s the next step? Yep, or just deal with it by setting a frame limiter so you dont have the FPS drops.

I’ve already done this, it’s limited to 60fps but nothing changes. I want to say that the problem doesn’t seem to only be in the game but also in the client menu when launching the .exe.

100% usage makes the game freeze even if I limited it to 20fps, I would still get drops
