How to fix loading freezes caused by background process hijacking?
Based on test report 2026-ZT-01 on Windows 11 24H2, I noticed massive core voltage spikes via HWiNFO the moment loading hit. I first tried messing with the virtual memory size, but the RAM usage just kept bouncing between 14GB - 16GB, and the progress bar stayed dead as a doornail. I eventually went into Task Manager -> Details, manually set the game process priority to 'Realtime', and used GamePP to flush the redundant cache. This dropped the RAM usage to a stable 9GB - 11GB, and the game finally started moving. It's way faster now, though I still catch some micro-stutters during heavy scene transitions, likely due to transient latency in the peripheral interface. Getting it to absolute zero latency is still a nightmare.
