Greetings Citizens. It seems that there's an issue with 12th gen Intel E-cores that causes low fps in builds with those brand new Intel cpu. For those who's asking if there's a way to solve, or a workaround to this... the good news is that.. YES.. there is a workaround. Enable the "legacy game compatibility mode " in your BIOS settings. Reboot. Press "SCROLL LOCK" to enable that mode. (this will disable e-cores). Launch SC & Play Press "SCROLL LOCK" when exit to disable that mode (and re-enable e-cores). Hope this could help. In Addition: After reading comments i've tried the 2 different solution. In following pics you can see the cpu's performance under different settings: "standard" mode (legacy game mode disabled, all e-cores enabled), legacy game mode enabled (e-cores disabled via scroll-lock) and e-cores totally disabled by bios. In the comparition between "legacy game mode" and "e-cores disabled" the second one wins, but with a really small margin. I prefere the "legacy game mode" solution because you can enable/disable when you need it and have your pc running at "full power" when not playing.
