A fix that should stop core utilization issues and stop the CPU from heavily hammering certain cores and making temps terribly high

Is this game even in menus acting like a stress test would to your CPU? Core utilization and temps insanely high and making your fans go insane? Well this may just be the fix for you. Myself on a i9 13900K and others on various other modern CPUs have tested this and have gotten good results.
so for example for me it is C:\Users\zoey\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\ThreeKingdoms\scripts
Simply run the game and the issue should be resolved. The temps for me now hit the low 30's in the menus and less intense moments of the game and in battle benchmarks hit low 40's. Where as before core 5 would sometimes hit 100C with core 4 not too far away.
If you having performance issues in menus still you can try this fix. Start the game, open task manager, find the game's process, go under details, Set Affinity, Select to use all cores. A very special thanks to Naerki for finding this solution. (Thanks Naerki's for providing this)
No idea why CA couldn't just put out an opt in 1KB size patch to better support modern CPUs. Again I cannot stress enough if this works for you on any CPU please leave a comment listing your CPU.
