The system specs include a B550 motherboard, an ASUS Prime Ryzen 5 5600 with 3200MHz, 8GB RAM (two 4GB modules), an 8GB XMP-enabled SSD, a Western Digital 4TB M.2 drive, an Radeon 6600 GPU, a Corsair RM750 case, and a deep cool fan. During gameplay it struggled heavily, especially in Division 2, causing noticeable stuttering and a slide-show effect. Task Manager showed full disk usage on both SSD and HDD. I plan to acquire his PC in the future for better diagnostics, but any advice would be appreciated. I’ve also switched the memory profile to activate XMP.

Both drives reached full capacity simultaneously. It seems there might have been a download or installation on Steam or elsewhere. Hell Let Loose isn’t well optimized and can have performance problems, though it shouldn’t be a major issue. Did your HDD also reach 100% usage?

It was also difficult there, even in the underworld.

Sure, I just wasn’t confident enough so I decided to add it here.
