Hi, so you only started having this issue with latest ESOC Patch, while previous versions were fine?
I think I have an idea on what's the problem. If you can locate your "age3f.exe" file in aoe3 installation folder, right-click it, go to properties -> compatibility tab and tick option "Disable high DPI scaling behavior". Then launch the game using this file and see if it helps.

Tried that still trying other solutions i had previous patch just installed to try its just fine it doesnt even hit 10% gpu load but new patch seems to just hit 100% gpu load the moment i open the game i dont even need to logon to eso. I tried lowering all the settings down to minimum gradually nothing seems to work i think its about the new patch i checked i have all the latest windows updates no viruses whatsoever in my computer .

Eaglemut has finally associated with snuden to make ep a criptocoin miner. Its a fair price for eagle's job.

What software are you using to measure GPU load?

Also, have you played previous versions of EP? Did things work then?

Reinstalled drivers. Yeah i was playing previous versions too with no problem. Weird thing i had the previous versions,i didnt delete setup files. They work without any hiccups and i monitor my gpu load from system monitor but you literally cant do anything its like trying to play high end game with on board gpu. I think i will format my computer entirely and will install everything from scratch nothing helped me so far still 100% and things are perfectly fine when i install previous patches or just logonto RE.

just for reference, i can run witcher 3 on highest settings and it only tanks my gpu to max 40%

Very weird i just installed the game on my notebook with 1060m gpu and 16gb with i7 7700hq highest gpu load i saw is 18% i even tried formatting everything on my main computer i think this is about drivers or gpu itself. It somehow clashes with the new patch idk how. Anyway i will just try to play on my laptop from now on i guess

Eaglemut i solved the problem at last. I had couple of mining rigs mining ethereum and some other cryptos. I replaced 1080ti with rx580. It worked like a charm. Dont know why but there is a problem with this exact model i think. Probably driver issue. Anyway thanks for help.
