As a reference I just ran a 12 player game with FAF relaying packets and ended up with FAForever.exe using 2-3% CPU so something is clearly wrong in your case...

Any AV etc that scans network / disk traffic or similar? Maybe exclude FAF process then if able.

I see that you're getting STUN connectivity even though you're running upnp at port 6112 which is a bit strange, would be interesting to see if you have the same issue if you manage to get into PUBLIC mode. If you have access to the router, try open an UDP port manually, say 6113 and point it to your computers internal IP. Remember to update the port number in FAF and disable upnp there at the same time.

Does the "happens sometime" depend on anything that comes to mind? Number of players, game duration, time since FAF restart?

Another reason could be if you're memory starved and FAForever.exe starts swapping in / out when game wants more memory, causing cpu usage by interrupts.

Best would probably be to do a performance sample with Windows Performance Recorder (WPR) while you're having the issue for a minute or two, then open it in WIndows Performance Analyser and see what you can dig out from that tool.

The next best (and easier) alternative to run Process Explorer (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sys ... 2147217396) as admin, find FAForever.exe in the list, right click on properties and check out the performance tabs there for some data.

Some games
CPU is AMD A4-4300 with 2 cores 3 GHz each, altrough if this is not happening the game runs fine.
i think i've included everything. in the post. Even when paused still eats CPU.

nevest forever.log is there viewtopic.php?f=3&t=13121

i've already played a game after i fixed it, so i think game.log is empety of issues

This is actually interesting, if the FAF client CPU spike only happens while you're playing it's either caused by the proxy packet relaying or the replay streaming. AFAIK these are the two main activities that FAF client is involved in during gameplay.

* Does it happen during all your games or just some of them?
* What cpu / number of cores do you have? The 25% load it could mean 100% load on one core.

Next time it happens, try pause the game and alt-tab. If FAForever.exe still drains CPU resources we probably can exclude replay streaming as the culprit.

From viewtopic.php?f=3&t=13121 which will be closed soon. I'd like to know your CPU model please.

Also game.log please. There's nothing in the client log of interest. If on Win10, please also turn off the notification service in the operating system, that POS can cause all kinds of hell.

Here on forums you can attach up to 3 files to your post.
If file is too big or feature is not available you can try use pastebin.com

Idk why people angry on you, I think that correct way woukd be to keep trying to squeeze out a proper report out of people. If you are to tired from bad reports, better not answer at all or just tell guy to read red text again.

Btw just in case. Before posting logs make sure to enable log saving in FAF and replicate issue (upload logs when you have issue, not when it works normally)

yes it was disabled, now waiting when faf will do this again
