Eliminate Resource Streaming Lag
Sprinting through New York, I felt a micro-twitch in the visuals every few seconds that broke the flow of movement. I tried lowering texture quality to Medium; while FPS increased by 6, the stutter frequency stayed the same, proving it was a scheduling bottleneck. I then accessed the GamePP Resource Scheduler, set the disk access priority to Highest, and disabled background updates. RTSS confirmed frame times converged to 13-17ms, and HWiNFO showed temperatures at 45-52℃. The swing feels buttery smooth now.
