100% CPU usage. "low streaming bandwidth" error

[S Flynn]

Fix that ♥♥♥♥, FFS.
I have an above average machine and run a tight ship.
I run the game on a 9600rpm HDD like 95% of the rest of the planet.
Nothing in the system requirements about needing an SSD to run the game, and I'm not about to drop the cash on that just so I can run this poorly-developed game.

What the ♥♥♥♥ is game developer's problem these days???
This ♥♥♥♥'s almost as bad as that recent NASCAR game fiasco and Cyperpunkwhatever.

Our patience is wearing very thin.

Which CPU are you using? What resolution and graphics settings? As to your HDD issue, games are being designed around the read and write speeds afforded by SSDs. If you're not willing to upgrade, you need to be able to accept the shortcomings of using older technologies.

Most of the planet probably runs a 5400 rpm, 7200rpm are considered performance drives. There used to be 10k and 12k and 15ks but increased drive sizes probably made that more difficult and have been supplemented with bigger caches.

Probably increase page file and make sure it's not on the same drive as the game.

You didn't state your system specs and Graphics settings. A combination of System specs and Graphics settings matter extremely for the result you will get in any game.

If you want to continue playing from a HDD, see if reducing the Graphics settings help. Set the settings to similar ones that FH5 uses on XBox One, since it also uses a HDD.

New consoles use higher settings and SSDs, and higher Graphics settings require SSDs to work correctly.

Any HDD is no good for this, even a 10,000RPM.
That disk has to read and write with the same arm, performance degrades as the disk fills up too.

The is not a dev issue, its a user issue. Use RAID or get an SSD.

EDIT:
Maximum read rate just doing bonus boards is 600MB/s (HWINFO). Theoretically you'll need a RAID of 3 or 4 HDDs to achieve this kinda data bandwidth.

[JuMooly]

Yeah, no. SSD's are very common now, and have been for a few years. You can get an mx500 500GB sata ssd for like 60 dollars, or even a kingston a2000 1TB nvme for 100. It's really not that unreasonable.

[Sashi]

What is wrong with people these days..

Holy moly.

SSDs are common for..ten years? If you set Texture Quality to high you will get the streaming issues. But yeah, blame the game. Easier.

Just get an ssd for games.. its 2021

Black Friday, just grabbed another SSD.
I shall update on the results.

For the record, my beef is that SSD is not listed at a required spec for this game. Bait and switch, man.

It's not required, but it's certainly optimal.

That does happen with ssd's too. So the discussion around it is useless.

If you have issues with low streaming bandwidth with a SSD, you likely have a slower one, and/or a lack of RAM so your SSD is working doubletime as a pagefile.

[JDumbz]

I would recommend (if you do plan on switching) to keep your HDD as expandable, use it for more Single-Player based games or games that have no problems with HDD. That's what I do.

For Multiplayer or new AAA titles I use my SSD dedicated for it.

[S Flynn]

Yep, SSD install fixed the problem. What a load of crap

Ya dude, you have no idea who I am or why my system is the way it has been.
