Solving Runtime Popup Crashes in Horizon Forbidden West with Acer SSD
Checked log Log-X22 on an Intel 13th Gen rig via CrystalDiskInfo and spotted command timeouts between 12ms and 18ms, peaking at 45ms right when the popups hit. It was a complete disaster. Rebooting just made it more glitchy and unpredictable. The move is to open the system diagnostic utility, nav to the Runtime Scan menu, and hit the Repair System Files button to realign the DLL markers. After three meticulous reboot cycles, the CrystalDiskInfo timeouts steadied at a crisp 2ms - 5ms, within 2% of factory gold-standard specs. the game went from a stuttering nightmare to being absolutely rock steady. It is not 100% perfect—you might still feel a tiny hiccup in heavy areas—but the popups are dead and gone. Truly snappy now.
