High CPU Utilization - PC Crashes

Hi,

I am unsure if there is a fix for this, or what additional details will be needed to diagnose/repair this issue, however as of the 0.2x patch, the game has started to use up to 91% of my CPU utilization. This in turn will cause the game to be unplayable for a few minutes after a load screen, and if I'm really unlucky, the game will crash, assuming the load screen finishes. Occasionally, a load screen will crash my entire PC instead.

I'd like to note a few things.

1. Like I said, this is a new issue for me as of the 0.2x patch.
2. My CPU temps are normal.
3. GPU temps are normal.
4. GPU Drivers are up-to-date.
5. Windows is up-to-date.
6. This issue is triggered mostly by load screens.

Essentially, the game has become unplayable because of this, which is already frustrating considering how a lot of changes in 0.2x have killed some of the fun I had the first go around. I'm all for suffering while I play a game, but suffering and having to wait to play the game is just... Bad.

I would really appreciate some kind of direction so I can fix this. I've held off upgrading to the next EA packs until I can actually play the game again.

Thank you.

I don't know if this reply is allowed, but I would actually like a GGG response to this. I have searched through dozens of similar posts and GGG has remained silent and won't even acknowledge this issue.
