Be careful with the Mistlands update and your GPU
Something is currently borked in this update and until they decide to address it I would be wary about playing this game. As of right now this game will pin your GPU to 100% and never stop regardless of graphical settings. You risk damage to your card. My card idles at around 40 degrees but jumps to 90 within 60 seconds of the game loading. I don't even have load a game, just sit in the menu for long enough and you can roast marshmallows on your PC. I've tried limiting FPS, vsync on and off, lowering graphical settings, using AMD's Adrenalin software to lower it but to no avail.

To be clear this does not happen with other games. Games that are actually graphically intense do not have this same issue. The closest I get would be in Tarkov I can get up to 70-80% usage and around 70 degrees.

Just a warning to be careful is all.
