How to fix the boot lag on JGinyue B760M GAMING D4 in KCD II?
Seeing my boot time drop from 40 seconds to 12 seconds was an incredible feeling; that kind of efficiency is immediately noticeable. When I first launched the game, the system would just hang on the loading screen for three minutes. The board's boot logic was incredibly sluggish with the new APIs, and it became clear that default settings weren't going to cut it. I flashed the latest BIOS from JGinyue and forced the boot mode to a pure generic mode. The boot logs showed the hardware initialization sequence was finally optimized. I did have a weird issue where my USB devices weren't recognized after the flash, but disabling legacy CSM support in the BIOS fixed it. VRM temps are now 48°C - 54°C, and the CPU clocks are bouncing smoothly between 3.8GHz and 4.6GHz. Updating the firmware was a gamble, but the responsiveness is on a whole different level now. Switched the mode in BIOS and it's golden.
