Fixing Write Speed Crashes
I had to be extremely careful with saving, because every save trigger caused severe system frame drops that made the game unplayable. I tried increasing the page file size in Windows; while available memory went up, the write stutters remained, proving it was a superficial fix. I used the GamePP NVMe Queue Depth Configurator to limit write concurrency from Unlimited to 32. CrystalDiskMark showed write speeds stabilized at 350-700MB/s, and HWiNFO confirmed temps at 42-48°C. Saving is now seamless.
