Fixing Campaign Map Freezes
On the grand battlefields of Rome, the screen would freeze instantly when switching views between armies, which made me very anxious. I tried lowering texture quality to medium; while it loaded faster, the visuals looked terrible, and I hated that compromise. I then accessed GamePP NVMe Queue Depth Configuration, locked the read queue depth to 256, and optimized prefetch instructions. CrystalDiskMark showed 4K reads increasing to 55-62MB/s, and internal logs showed fan speeds at 1200-1400RPM.
