Fixing Fanxiang S910Max 1TB I/O lag in Farming Sim 25
In massive farms, switching map areas turned my game into a slideshow, which was honestly pathetic. The Fanxiang S910Max 1TB just couldn't handle the asset calls, with random reads often dipping below 35MB/s, leaving the render engine starving for data. I tried dropping every setting to low, but since the bottleneck was I/O and not GPU, the stutters stayed—completely hopeless. I eventually manually expanded the virtual memory to 32GB and used an I/O scheduler to set the game process to 'High' disk priority. In my FPS monitor, the 1% lows jumped from 25 FPS to 44 FPS, and the massive hitches mostly vanished. I accidentally set it to 'Realtime' at first and crashed all my background apps, so 'High' is the sweet spot. Temps are between 52-64℃. RAM temps stayed around 58-63℃ after the tweak.
