Running my HDD at high %

[keronshb]

Whenever I'm running this game, I'm experiencing a lot of loading lag (mostly in between stages and starting it up) because a lot of the time it brings my 7200RPM HDD up to 100% for some reason. Now sometimes this doesn't happen and it's OK and I've loaded moast levels fine, but now when I'm trying to load the one Destroyed level after hell, it always sticks at 75% forever because of this issue.

Is there any way to fix this? This happens even with all programs closed.

It's just the game loading? This is normal.

Kind of? I've noticed now that even when the game is just on the title screen it stays at 100%. Sometimes I can't even get out of Doom because of how high it's running on my HDD

how many ram ( windows ) and vram ( video card ) you have ?

[margalus]

get an ssd.

also as asked above, how much ram? what gpu?

don't know your hardware specs, but I am assuming it is a bottleneck issue, especially since the game streams textures. you probably want to turn the texture size/streaming settings down in the advanced video settings to help with this if you haven't already done so

Win 10 64bit, 16 gigs ram, 980TI and I forgot the amount of VRAM it has so here's what Windows says (Total Available Graphics Memory: 14298MB | Dedicated Video Memory: 6144MB)

I have one but it's housing my OS right now. I really can't be putting a 50 gig game on it.

I could try it, but it wasn't giving me issues before.

I think I fixed it. I turned Virtual Paging down to medium from high and my load times are speedy and Doom is barely using my HDD.

yeah the HDD is probably the bottleneck here. the 7200rpm HDD isn't streaming the large textures fast enough to your hardware

I can't believe how much of a jump it made tbh. It went from using 100% to barely .1 now with everything running. I don't even see a difference in graphical quality either.

do you think it was a coincidence and maybe there was a windows update or something running in the background?

Nah there's no way, this was plaguing me for twoish days now and I didn't know why. I also wouldn't know why it started out of the blue honestly, but at least it works consistently now, even after a reboot.

[keronshb]

Nevermind, even on low now it doesn't seem to change. I triple checked to make sure my anti virus was off and no updates were happening for anything and nothing else seemed to be running. I guess I'll email support.

Same HDD constant load here, but not any stuttering or hitching. I figured it's normal because the game is streaming textures.

It's using denuvo, has weird hdd usage like every other game using it.
Nothing you can do about it.
