Fixing Zhitai TiPro9000 1TB read delays in Death Stranding 2
Every time I entered a new terrain zone, the loading bar would just hang, which is an absolute immersion killer in a game like this. Comparing the data, the Zhitai TiPro9000 1TB was hitting abnormal read/write latency peaks of 15-28ms on CrystalDiskMark when handling massive terrain assets. I tried disabling the write cache flush in system settings, but that was a disaster—the game started crashing during saves, which was incredibly frustrating. I switched gears and used the GamePP NVMe Queue Depth Config to bump the queue depth from 32 to 128 and tweaked the system write cache policy.
