Continuous Disk Access
Why does this (PC) game have continuous disk access, even when idling in menus (not in a match)?

I'm afraid the game is not well optimized, the game also writes shader cache to My Documents instead of %appdata% where it belongs which triggars OneDrive to read/write form drive.

I'm not using OneDrive, if you're saying that's what's causing it. Also, don't have any apps running in the background.
This behavior does not occur with any other game.

This has been mentioned in the past and it appears to just be how BF2042 works. The game is constantly writing to shader cache.
Do you have OneDrive uninstalled? Unless it's uninstalled it is always accessing disc.- @sk1lld I do not use OneDrive and the process is not running, so there's no reason to uninstall it.
Since the game writes a lot of files to Documents folder, I thought it could be related to Windows indexing that location. However, excluding the Battlefield 2042 folder in Documents from indexing didn't seem to change anything.
