Overwolf using >40% of CPU while just running an app

[Warcylewis]

Related app/team name (not a must if you want to keep it private):
Issue Description: OW consuming more than 40% of CPU
Can you reproduce it (exact steps to reproduce): Start Gazoom / Fuze and just play around → It will start using more and CPU usage. I was able to reproduce it with either app running alone. As well I used 3 different PCs (from ultra book to gaming PC i5 8600k + 1060GTX) still up to 40% CPU usage. Maybe this might be normal and I just realized it.
Impact for my app: [e.g. x% of the users complained about it, it’s a show-stopper]
Do you currently have a workaround?
no

Please reproduce and attach a zip package of your OW client logs
Please mention the time of the event so we can find it easily in the logs

This is definitely not a normal CPU usage.

Does it happen while in-game, or on desktop?
What are your DPI settings (above 100%)?

And please send us your Overwolf logs

[Warcylewis]

my DPI of my mouse? 800 if that is what you mean by it (probably not). in Overwolf I never changed anything there.
->it was in desktop

Sorry, I meant screen DPI

[Warcylewis]

laptop: 150%, 1440p resolution (these were the logs I sent) and on desktop 100% 1080p

@Warcylewis, from analyzing your logs, we can see mild usage by Gazoom:

Our recommendation is to open Overwolf’s task manager while the CPU is at 40% to see which specific app window is responsible.

[Warcylewis]

how can I open the “overwolf” task manager? Or is the normal task manager sufficient?

[eransharv]

Right-click on the Overwolf icon and choose “Task Manager”:

Thanks
