Solving Kioxia Exceria Plus G4 read lag in Wuthering Waves
During high-speed combat, I'd get these tiny, rhythmic freezes every few seconds—it's a total dealbreaker for an action game. I opened the GamePP Resource Scheduler Panel and found that the PCIe 5.0 link was aggressively switching power states during low loads, causing random read latency to spike by 20-40ms. I tried adding 32GB of virtual memory first, but that just created more I/O conflicts and actually increased the stutter frequency. That trial-and-error phase made me realize that throwing more capacity at a link scheduling problem is useless. I went into the GamePP NVMe Queue Depth Config, locked the queue depth at 64, and disabled the low-power state switching.
