Seems like client is mining bitcoins on my GPU. Usually GPU utilisation 35% - 65% either during battle or in mechlab. But from time to time utilisation raising to 100% and do not lowering even if i do nothing in game. Such state can durate for 30 minutes, and suddenly without doing nothing it becamse normal around 35-40. Any workarounds?

You sure it's not other programs running?

But why? It happens from time to time. For example day before yesturday was without such issue, but yesturday it happened again. So i can say settings are ok. Seem like smth in game client triggers some activity. I think it is bitcoin mining

• It is a laptop
  
• Is the Power Settings set to high performance or Balance? Change to High performance.
  
• What other programs were running, especially Chrome?
  
• Is hardware acceleration enabled in Chrome?
  
  • Have seen similar results on laptops and Chrome w/hardware acceleration enabled. Went away once the acceleration went away or Chrome was completely closed down. Make sure that allow apps to continue to run is turned off too.
• Logging in via Steam or Standalone patcher? Steam will also have hardware acceleration enabled by default for its webpages.
  
• Screenshot that includes the Performance info for the other components, such as the CPU usage and speed. Leaning more into Chrome + laptop.

Today it happend again:


Here are GPU processes:



And CPU processes:



Yesturday Chrome and same applications also were running, but issue did not reproduced. Today it happened. No dependancy what mech, what map. Just randomly at some battle.

Today one more strange thing happened - after game restart GPU utilisation was kept at 100% for 10-15 munites and then it droped to ~30% while i was doing nothing.
