Why does Hitman 3 freeze at 85% when loading Dubai scenes?

I felt absolute despair when loading the Dubai Shopping Mall; the progress bar would just freeze at 85%, killing my immersion. I initially tried disabling the indexing service in system settings, but it did nothing to the loading speeds, leaving me stuck. I then used the GamePP NVMe Queue Depth Configuration to increase the queue depth from 1024 to 2048 and tweaked the write cache flush strategy. CrystalDiskMark pressure tests showed 4K random reads jumped to 68-75 MB/s, while AIDA64 monitored temps staying stable at 44-51℃. It's a total lifesaver.
