Origin is one the reasons for high CPU usage

What are you talking about dude? When I idle in the “my game library,” I get about 150k KB of memory (combining Origin.exe and QtWebEngineProcess.exe). If I switch to application settings, there is no change in memory used. Are you sure that you haven’t changed any options in addition to this?

To compare this to Battle.net client, it uses 100k KB of memory. It shouldn’t have a massive impact on running BF1. The problem lies in BF1 or the NVIDIA/AMD drivers. Unless you can run BF1 without Origin (or disable the QtWebEngineProcess.exe that runs with the Origin client, without actually closing Origin), there is no meme you can do to reduce the memory used by the Origin client.

EDIT: If you disable Share Interaction Data and Share Hardware Info, it seems to reduce some of the memory used. Unfortunately, you won’t be sending any of the details for any errors that occur, such as the infamous DirectX error.

Not possible. 1) it cannot be using 150kb of RAM, that’s simply ridiculous. 2) it uses at least 50mb and up to 20% cpu usage while doing nothing.
3) the OP is right. If you go into the settings page, the CPU usage drops from 20% to 1 or 2.

However the two processes still use well over 80mb combined. For them to use 150kb is simply completely impossible. I think you mean 150mb. No app uses that small amount of RAM, certainly not origin

If you don’t believe the OP or me, do some googling and you’ll see.

Oh and btw, battle.net never used 100kb of memory. I challenge you to find any games platform, be it steam, origin, uplay or even GoG that uses less than 20mb. You’re really either talking out of your , or confusing Kb with Mb

150k kB, as in 150000kB. You need to work on comprehension skills bro. Have you never heard of people abbreviating figures in the thousands by using the letter k?

Also, 150 kB or 150000kB doesn’t matter. Battle.net uses a similar amount of CPU and no problems there that I’ve ever heard of. The problem lies mostly with Battlefield 1 and all fixes SHOULD be focused on it. Optimizing the client can come later; optimizing Battlefield 1 is far more urgent and will do more than focusing on a piddling difference of 50k (ie. 50000) kB.

I should work on my comprehension skills when you say 150kb which means One hundred and fifty KILOBYTES. No one says 150 K k b. It’s Kb, then MB, then Gb, then TB, then PB.

Before you call someone else out, maybe you should learn how to count and express bytes in the correct form. It’s quite ironic you’re trying to somehow make your comment valid, when you do not even know how to express bytes in the correct way. Origin uses at least 80mb. Period. We don’t say 80,0000 kbnor 150k kb LMAO. And you call me out for not getting “abbreviating figures in the thousands” lmao. Get some education. here I’ll point you in the right direction Understanding file sizes (Bytes, KB, MB, GB, TB) - Frequently Asked Questions - myRepono - Website backup service

Geez you made me laugh though. How old are you? A bit new to PCs and technology I’m guessing? I’ve been building and using PCs for about 25yrs kid, don’t try and teach your granny to suck eggs. You got it wrong, just admit it and move on. Or would you like to continue to use incorrect math? Perhaps you’d like to tell me you have 16,000k kb of RAM? LMAO. Think about what you said for a moment…

“150k kB, as in 150000kB” err no. That’s not how it works. You do not use k twice in a numerical situation. It’s completely nonsensical. 150kb is 150kb, 150,000 bytes, not 150,000 kilobytes. That would be like saying hey I have 15 million dollars but instead I’m going to tell you I have 15,000 thousand dollars, because that’s how we abbreviate numbers where i come from. Ummm no. Just no. Stop dude.

The problem we are talking about has ZERO to do with BF1 but everything to do with origin

English IS my first language, clearly. Though I do speak other languages also.

As the guy above me shows, it’s mostly when you have the tab open after you click on a game before launch.

I also have all the same options disabled.
