100% Disk Usage Causes Lags.
Since the last update, the game uses 100% of my HDD, but when I wait in the main menu for a few minutes, disk usage stabilizes, and the game works normally without lags. I haven't tried it on my SSD, so I'm not sure if the SSD experiences heavy usage too.

I use SSD and it's the same problem for me that you experience.

This was a major problem for me that I ended up fixing by deleting my appdata for dbd. it will reset your settings, but its faster to fix them than wait out your disk issues.

It's also causing severe GPU usage and it's causing sudden game crashes.

When i last launched the game and got into the main menu the textures were not fully loaded.
I could see when the details were slowly loaded in.
Never happened before.

I have this problem since the latest hotfix for the Dark Lord patch, 8.2.2 i think. I noticed per taskmanager / resource monitor, that DbD and System iterate for about 5 minutes on several DbD packages, no write orders, only heavy read orders, as if its checking consistency of those packages. Unfortunately it does this every time i start up DbD, and if i try to play in those 5 minutes the lag is so big that, for example, in the match intro animation where the camera turns around you, im forced to wait 2-3 seconds longer because i got several lags while the animation plays and im still locked in the animation, while other survivors are already running along next to me.

How did you do this? I've been having the same issues with disk usage for some time now. Things still run smoothly, but it is alarming when the disk use goes to 100% my fans go into overdrive.

I just tried deleting the DbD folder in appdata, it did not fix it for me.

Midchapter patch 8.3.0 did not change anything, still 100% disc usage plus lags for about 5 minutes where i cant play and have to wait.

The same thing just happened to me. It took incredibly long for the game to launch, and when it finally did, the textures weren't rendered on the main menu and were loading very slowly. I mean, I know my PC is a bit outdated but wow, just wow, it's a HUGE difference from before.

This symptom caused the game to freeze and he was ejected from matchmaking and penalized.

・AMD Ryzen 5 2600・NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660・Install to HDD
It still occurs in 8.3.2 environment.
I usually set the graphics setting to High, but it occurs regardless of whether I set it to Low.
