Hey Guys,

I tried to start Dishonored 2 for the first time. Then all of a sudden my fans went crazy because of the high gpu usage just the main menu takes.

So for the possible solution, here's what I did to dishonored2config.cfg:

configVersion 10
bindingVersion 44
// Restoring last configured key bindings stored in file "dishonored2Config.cfg"
// All previous bindings will be unbound! Please increment the version number in default.cfg to apply any new bindings (current version is 44)
//

The "FPSTargeted" part was where I made the change that made the difference. Instead of a fixed 60 fps it got to WAY over billions by default. So it's best to set this at 60 fps. I hope this fixes this issue for at least some of you. May be a bit late, but better late than never I'd say.

For the record: I did this with a computer with a 5700X and a 6650 XT in it.

Kind regards,
