The news came from PCWorld.com by their senior editor named Mark Hachman who was testing on a 2-in-1 laptop belonging to Microsoft that uses processor from Intel Tiger Lake. He found the oddity when he was testing the battery life on a 2-in-1 laptop from Microsoft. Before long, Mark found an inconsistent result. Because after he tested it for the 3rd time, his laptop gave different results from the first and second tests.

After having tried repeatedly until I was forced toreset their 2-in-1 laptop to get results like the first and second tests, they found an oddity after downloading and hiding the Epic Games Store in taskbar.

At first they were a little surprised because one application can have a huge impact on battery usage on a laptop. Not long ago, they immediately tested the 2-in-1 laptop by comparing how many percent it would consume when it was consumed launcher Epic Games launches and shuts down.

The results are also very different from when he doesn’t use launcher Epic’s. But when the Epic Games Store was run, Mark claimed that the application was able to suck up 20 percent of the battery in a period of two hours.

Curious about the massive power that is sucked in, he also immediately tested it on a laptop based on AMD Ryzen and the results were not much different from Microsoft’s laptops using processor Intel Tiger lake.

Because the power required is quite large, the team from Mark Hachman immediately took the initiative to inform this to Epic Games. One of the representatives from Epic Games then replied that they are working to improve performance and reduce power usage launcher-his.

With the emergence of problems like the above, hopefully Epic Games can provide patches to improve and optimize launcher-his. So that laptop gamers no longer have to worry about seeing their laptop battery being sucked in very quickly.
