Killing the telemetry lag in Expeditions Rome
Laggy telemetry in the middle of a tactical fight in Expeditions Rome is a absolute disaster. According to report FX-2026-09 on Win11 24H2 using HWiNFO v7.0, the default polling was a mess, oscillating between 1.5s and 2.5s with peaks of 4s, meaning the overheat warnings were practically useless. Trying to just lower the interval caused my frame times to spike like crazy due to resource contention. I had to dig into the advanced settings, hit the sensor pool, and isolate the hardware info layer, leveraging the insane bandwidth of the FANXIANG S910Max 1TB PCIe 5.0 NVMe M.2 SSD to prioritize the metric flow. After that, HWiNFO reported a rock steady 100ms - 250ms update rate with zero peaks. The only downside is that the constants waking of the CPU in low-power mode bumps up idle wattage slightly.
