Issues fixed

Heavy CPU usage during loading screens

Use Special K to spoof the number of CPU cores[3]
  1. Install Special K.
  2. When the game starts, press Ctrl+ Shift+← Backspace to open the Special K control panel.
  3. Go to Framerate Limit and click on Advanced.
  4. Tick Spoof CPU Core Count and decrase the number of cores by one or more less than you actually have (e.g. 3 or 2 for a 4-core CPU).
Spoofing the CPU core count may increase loading times, but will improve system responsiveness.
