90’s what? 1990? 90C? 90% cpu usage?
No need even for third party software if you have a NVIDIA GPU
90° every other game i playbon high graphics uncapped fps sit 74-78°. NEVER ONCE hit 80° let alone 90+ till this game which im now forced to cap at 30FPS low graphics just to get it to sit at 85ish
Run a CPU stress test. If you’re still getting 90C(and you will), invest in better cooling.

Stop melting your PC and install proper cooling or clean your hardware

This is the proper way to reduce power (and temps) while barely impacting your performance (or not even reducing it at all)
Use Rivatuner (if you have MSI Afterburner, it’s probably already installed) to cap FPS while the game is in the background or out of focus until AGS addresses the issue. That way you can tab-out and the game won’t be quite as bad on your PC, and you would still have no FPS limits while playing.
Keep in mind though that the background FPS option is hidden, and you will have to add a line to a config file to activate it. But there are guides for it online.
They probably mine crypto with your PC while you’re in the queue. Would explain why they don’t want to start more servers - they lose processing power if people can actually play!

just install Afterburner with RivaTuner and limit to 15fps while in queue
there are literally more people watching the queue than in the game. So in terms of number of players affected…
Got a RTX 2060, ryzen 7 3700x, 32G ram, lock fps to 60, every graphic on high and got 58c CPU and 65c GPU. So yeah cap your Fps or verufy your cooling.
This game is demanding my ass. Have you bothered to read what the minimum specs are? Or even the recommended specs? I blow them out of the water. And before anyone chimes in with their bullshit about cooling. I’m showing 85% cpu on a water cooled i5-7600k sitting at 50 degrees. This is with lowest graphics and frames capped to 30. I can push the graphics to high and not see an increase in cpu usage, only gpu. There’s no way this game should be eating up this much processing power. This is not a system issue it is a game issue and it needs to be addressed
I think the Queing is first thing to solve then at least we can play other than giving resources while we are Queue.
On an i9 + 3080 laptop:
CPU usage around 20%
GPU usage around 40%
Temps are about 60C for both
Graphics are all on “High” with the frame rate limited to 60.
All that seems very reasonable to me.
Some smart dev decided to put a fully decorated 3D live scene in the background of the character screen and by the number of people sitting in queue, it’s making a huge waste of power along with wasting resources of the PC for no reason. A simple full black jpg would have been thousand times better than this.
I personally go to settings > visuals and drop resolution all the way down to lowest 1024x768. That cools things a lot by itself and I expect would be enough for most. You can change it back once you’re in game. No need to burn so much electricty and lock your pc resources into producing character background for no reason.

A lot of great fixes, suggestions, and ideas here…but none of these should be required to sit in a game queue.
True but this is their first proper game, for both Amazon Games and Helix Games. And first thing they try is the new WoW killer. (Not that WoW killed themselves with the Activision ‘thing’ recently). Give them some slack, I know you payed for something big and after all these delays you would think they would get it right but apparently not.
Working as intended Kappa
To increase sales elsewhere -.-
40-50 C @ GPU
55-75 C @ CPU in menu atm
i9-10850k | 32GB | 3080
Biggest issue is in any heavily populated town… gets real warm o_o
Earlier this week there were updates to both nVidia and AMD drivers that had patches specific to New World MMO.
If you haven’t updated your GPU in the last few days, do so now.
Not saying it will address the concern here, but it might for some.
That said, I do agree with the OP that the screen before logging in should be a static 2D. Either an image or a pre-downloaded video clip.
my cpu wasnt having issues but my gpu was so i loaded a throttler to pull back when a temp is hit…oddly my fps didnt change one bit and no lag spikes or stuttering…not sure why its drawing extra power (I assume at least, as i decreased this also by a good 40%) for no notable performance increase. it went from 80c to 45c due to power draw decrease…still at 60fps everywhere so no idea what this game is doing to make it pump that much out
