BF2042 reads too much data from the drive

So I've just randomly noticed how much does the game read data from a drive, even when you're just sitting in the main menu doing nothing for 5 minutes straight.

For example, here i'm just starting the game and i have 1909 GB total host reads on my nvme ssd drive.

launching the game, 1909GB total

After 1 minute i have already 1923 GB total host reads on my ssd, and the game keeps constantly reading from drive at the speed of 200 mb/s.

1 minute passed, 1923GB total (+14GB read)

After 3 minutes in the menu it is 1951 GB total host reads on my drive, all this time the game was reading at ~ 200 mb/s.

3 minute passed, 1951GB total (+42GB read)

Finally, at 1956 GB total read it stops reading (after 4-5 minutes since the game launch), so it read 1956 - 1909 = 47 GB just for the time sitting in the main menu.

4 minutes passed, 1956 GB total (+45GB read)

It happens every single time i open the game, which may result in hundreds of total data read from ssd in a single day.

Then i tried testing the same thing with Battlefield 5, and it had no such problem. It only reads for 10 seconds at startup and then it drops to 0 mb/s in main menu.

bf5 doesn't read

Even loading in to the actual match it also simply reads a chunk of data from drive for 5-10 seconds and then it stops.

bf5, 15 seconds after loading in to the game

So in total i've got maybe ~4-5GB total read in BF5 with loading in match, compared to 50GB+ read in BF2042 just for the menu.
