Fixing compatibility issues for ASRock Z370M Pro4 in Wukong?
It's unbelievable that a next-gen masterpiece like this feels like a slideshow on an old platform; the experience was a total disaster. The old BIOS on the ASRock Z370M Pro4 was having serious memory addressing conflicts with the DX12 instruction set, causing frame times to swing violently between 10ms and 120ms. I tried disabling every single overlay in the software, but that just led to the game crashing to desktop—total waste of time. I finally flashed the latest official BIOS and manually enabled memory remapping while setting power to Maximum Performance. RTSS showed frame times converged to 18-25ms, and the hitches completely vanished. After the update, my RAM defaulted back to 2133MHz, which was a joke until I re-enabled XMP. CPU temps are 72-78℃ and VRMs are 65-70℃. Backed up the BIOS and driver versions, and it's finally stable.
