CPU Usage increase after Season One?

Hi all,

I currently run a Dual-core Athlon II X2 running at 3.4Ghz

which when the game went open-beta, and retail.. my CPU never batted an eyelash at it, I could alt-tab, run Firefox, a few other things, and still have no issues going back to STO, after the Season one update, I've noticed in task manager, that my CPU usage on BOTH cores is nearly pegged at 100% all the time now as I run STO, which causes lag in other areas (i.e Ventrillo) is there a coding issue here, that I may not be the only one experiencing? is there a new option that I can change or perhaps turn off?

I used to be able to crank every option to the max, video audio and otherwise, and run high frame-rates and no issues.. now it seems STO is really taxing my CPU for no apparent reason, even when I'm just standing on SB1.. or floating in space with no other ships nearby.

Thoughts?:confused:

    Try looking at >options>video>troubleshooting (you got to click it to open it) and check out the gpu / cpu options there. Maybe you can limit the cpu as I did to help.
