100% HDD usage, causing freezing and assets not loading | Forums

[TheLeadZebra]

Neither of my friends have this problem, one uses a normal HDD too so its not just the fact of this game cant run on hdds which makes it even weirder

SSD FTW, this game doesn't like mech harddrives, how are those beautiful mountains meant to load quickly?

Good to know that both my OS drive (SSD) and my games drive (SSD) are apparently normal HDDs.

HDD saturation, then practically freezes the game. After about 4 ~ 6 hours.
The open beta was not like that.
only full game
I5 3570
Asrock Z77 extreme3
geforce 1060 6GB
8gb 1600
1T HDD

100% Hard USE supposed to somehow solve it somehow becomes saturated

What I also noticed is that the game uses relatively little memory. I have 16GB of RAM and it only uses about 3-4. Once it's filled up it starts to swap out to the HDD (a very fast SSD in my case). Why isn't it using more memory so it can use the disk less? Still, it should not require throughputs of 100MB+ per second...

This issue did not occur pre-1.1.5.

2021 and the same exact problem still exist. I will leave it to Ubi. Probably never gonna get fix.
