Epic Games Launcher high CPU usage (self.pcmasterrace)

I’m getting high CPU usage when downloading games through EGL. It uses up to 30% which is abysmal for 7800X3D. PC is brand new, with latest Windows 11, drivers and BIOS. Both EGL and Epic Online Services are updated to latest version. This happens only while downloading. Any ideas?

What’s your download rate? A high download rate is causing some CPU usage, I notice that on my build too. I’m downloading with ~120MB/s.

I wouldn’t worry about 30% cpu usage, seems fine to me. Downloads might be served compressed as well, so you pc has to decompress them on the fly.

Same goes for Steam^^

I just tested Steam download, it uses 1-2% with the same download speeds.

tbh i dont know if it's compression or something like that but some game downloads on steam are pushing my cpu up to around 50% sometimes.
