Massive resource issue

For almost a solid month now, launching DBD has been almost impossible for me.
The game is consuming all my system resoucrces where previously it did not, It's eating up 90% of my GPU, almost 2 gigs of ram and %60 of my CPU.
I used to be able to stream the game, now I literally cannot stream dead by daylight
I also have frame drops, where before I was getting 90fps my game is struggling to maintain 50-60fps.
I'm on PC and I have a Ryzen 3 CPU, A radeon RX 550 GPU and 8 Gigs of Ram.
I have my settings on LOW and my render scale set to 0%.
Please help me, I literally cannot play this game for fear it's going to tax my hardware into oblivion.
Also don't tell me to dust out my PC case or update my drivers, I already did that.
I've also deleted DBD and reinstalled it and verified my files
