Why does Mass Effect freeze at 90% during fast travel loading?

Every time I fast traveled, the screen would freeze for two seconds at 90% loading, making the game's rhythm feel completely broken. I tried migrating the game to a SATA SSD, but loading times actually tripled, a mistake that made me laugh at my own ignorance. I used the GamePP NVMe Queue Depth Configurator to expand the limit from 1024 to 2048 and killed energy-saving mode. CrystalDiskMark showed 4K read speed increasing from 55 to 72 MB/s, while AIDA64 recorded temps at 45-52℃ and CrystalDiskInfo showed a queue depth of 32-64. It's fast now
