Microfreezes as hell on hdd

[hashelq]

When running on hdd the game is indeindeindeindefinetly is loading a plie of trash like skins, shooting whatever.
The microfreezes are here almost every n seconds indefinitely.
Can you finally do something about it, not just for cs2, but for the engine? run a separate thread for resource loading? preload the stuff just before the game?

the game is already preloading a bunch of assets. that's why it takes a long time to load, on the first build of cs2 that is public the game loads the core ui and most of the assets before loading the background maps and sounds. instead of putting the game on a hard drive please put it on a ssd if possible. same goes for the unsupported csgo, both games take a while to load off of hard drives because of skins, high quality models and textures etc.

for me the game runs like dogshit even with a ssd on a midrange system, the game is just not optimised at all

can confirm, run the game on 6.6.69-lts and 6.12.8 with nvidia opendkms 565.77.
I have constant frame drops, 85% of the time the game runs at 144fps (g-sync on) and then it drops to 30-50 for 1-2 seconds. It is not really playable, since aiming with those changing frame rates is impossible

running on i5 9600k, rtx 2070 (non-super), 32gb ram and all ssd's and nvme's
