Game freezing and CPU usage increasing are common issues.
Game freezing and CPU usage increasing are common issues.
After returning to Verdansk, I decided to jump back into Warzone after a nearly three-year hiatus. My new PC was ready for action, but I’ve been experiencing freezes and lag. Here’s what I observed: whenever the game freezes, CPU usage spikes dramatically—around 40 milliseconds. Using HWMonitor, I noticed temperatures drop to about 30°C for less than a second during those moments, while CPU performance nearly hits zero. The system never exceeds 80°C in-game. I’ve experimented with adjusting thread counts, enabling XMP, turning on/off resizable bars, updating drivers, and tweaking graphics settings, but nothing resolves the issue. If anyone has faced this problem or knows what might be causing it, your guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
PC details:
- Processor: 11th Gen Intel Core i7-11700KF @ 3.60GHz
- Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070
- OS: Windows 10
- RAM: 32 GB
It might be useful to restrict the downloadable asset or streaming options to the minimum possible. At launch, Black Ops 6 experienced significant stuttering during many multiplayer matches until I disabled that setting. Warzone seems to have the same issue, though I haven’t verified it recently. I’ll check again when I’m back.
