Hi and thank you for trying to assist me
I doubt it's hardware related considering I play a lot of different games with none of the same problems, I figured out how to edit, so you might have replied before I edited my previous post, I meant to say "I should also say that this is the *only game acting like this* in my entire steam library, so this is seriously throwing me for a loop."
Nevertheless I tried the tool you provided but still get 5fps in dx11 and 30ish for (i'm guessing direct x 10 since you have to choose direct x 9) direct x 10, I am dumbfounded by this game *literally* using 95% of my cpu and 99% of my gpu :|
I snipped a picture of the process in task manager, but still trying to find my way around using this forum, and can't find how to attach a photo, so you'll have to take my word for it regarding the resource hogging
