How to fix resource scheduling lags in Ghostwire Tokyo?
Walking through Tokyo, every time large-scale spell effects trigger, the drive's read latency suddenly spikes to 120-150ms, causing noticeable screen tearing. The Kioxia Exceria Pro's random reads become unstable under pressure, making fast-paced combat feel incredibly sluggish. I initially tried disabling all unnecessary background services in Windows, but loading times only dropped by 0.5 seconds—a tiny improvement that didn't touch the root cause, leaving me totally baffled. I then dove into Device Manager and forced the disk power management from 'Balanced' to 'High Performance' while updating to the latest official NVMe drivers. In CrystalDiskMark, random 4K reads jumped from 55-62MB/s to 78-85MB/s, and the stuttering during scene transitions completely vanished. To be honest, my first attempt at tweaking the registry to boost I/O priority resulted in a straight-up Blue Screen of Death; I had to roll back everything and stick to the power plan changes to get stability back. Drive temps stayed between 48-54℃ with a smooth read/write curve. Hardware monitors confirmed throughput is on point, and frame times finally stabilized at 5.1-6.4ms.
