The I/O stutter is worse on mechanical hard drives. If you have an SSD, it's recommended to install the game to that.
FWIW, my installation is on an SSD and it still happens to me.
Nonsense mate, i have it on M.2 NVME drives in RAID 0, faster possible set up, and the bloody thing stutters like hell and freezes on a 8700k and 2080ti!
So after a few hours of gameplay and loving every minute of it (minus the lag of course) I decided to request a refund.
This game has become unplayable especially as more enemies come up on the screen. I even tried lowering the graphics all the way down, to no avail. I tried the suggested fixes as well, no go. I will not cap the framerate to 30 when I can run 1440p Doom eternal at 90fps, clearly there's something wrong with this game.
It's a shame this game got the EA treatment. This is the last time I give EA a chance.
Stutter is awful, locking to 30fps helped...
