How to fix Kioxia EXCERIA PRO 2TB loading lag in Spider-Man?
When swinging through the skyscrapers at top speed, the distant building textures would suddenly flicker and tear, which was incredibly distracting. Even though the Kioxia EXCERIA PRO 2TB hits 7000MB/s sequential reads, the throughput for real-time streaming was fluctuating between 4.2-5.8GB/s, which just couldn't keep up with 4K textures. I first tried dropping texture quality to medium, and while the tearing stopped, the game looked like it was from ten years ago—I was desperate for a better fix. I eventually modified the disk I/O priority via the registry and manually assigned a 16GB virtual memory page file to a dedicated partition on the SSD. Monitoring via RTSS, the frame time variance dropped from a wild 16.6-32ms to a very tight 16.6-18ms. My system boot time slowed down by about 3 seconds after the registry tweak, but fixing the page file at exactly 16384MB brought it back to normal. SSD temps are steady at 50-56℃. Verified everything with the in-game quality tool, and the textures are finally syncing up.
